SUMMARY:The Car in Art and the Car as Art
DESCRIPTION:Speed! Technology! Destruction! The battle cry of the Futurists WWI heralded the appearance of the car as a powerful symbol in avant-garde art. Soon the Art Deco masterpieces of the great car builders came to epitomise style\, luxury and craftmanship\, works of art in their own right. The romance of speed continued to be a major theme in how cars were depicted in art\, but\, since the 1950s the car has become art\, used as a canvas for artists as celebrated as Peter Blake\, Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst. This lecture will showcase the beautiful and the bizarre\, celebrating the dynamic\, creative\, and sometimes unsettling relationship between cars and art. \nLecturer: Julian Richards \nJulian Richards\, theartssociety.org \nI studied archaeology at Reading University and have since worked as a professional archaeologist\, in commercial archaeology\, for English Heritage\, for the BBC and as an independent. I was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1992 and have an honorary doctorate. I have long been involved in teaching and outreach projects\, lecturing widely in continuing education\, to schools (with a focus on special needs pupils) and societies. My career in broadcasting involved researching and presenting Meet the Ancestors and Blood of the Vikings for BBC2\, and Mapping the Town for Radio 4. I have written a number of English Heritage publications on Stonehenge\, including the previous and current guide books to the monument and landscape. Museum work includes curating Stonehenge related exhibitions in the UK and abroad (Germany and Austria) and I have just curated the new permanent ceramics gallery for Salisbury Museum. With no intention of retiring I am still passionate about Stonehenge\, pots and old cars.

SUMMARY:Bottoms Up! A History of Wine\, Its Rituals and Its Vessels
DESCRIPTION:This light-hearted talk examines the history of wine\, an elixir that has sustained much of humanity for almost 10\,000 years. Essentially little more than fermented grape juice\, this extraordinary and contradictory liquid has caused wars and riots\, has helped broker peace and more commonly\, served as an aphrodisiac. It has been personified in the form of Gods and been the principal catalyst in civilised entertaining and dining rituals. Wine is based on ethanol\, a potent alcoholic poison and depressant. Yet\, when consumed in moderation\, its effects are liberating\, euphoric and positively beneficial to our physical health. \nLecturer: Andy McConnell \nAndy-McConnell\, theartssociety.org \nHas dealt in antiques since adolescence\, but served an apprenticeship in journalism. After working in music\, film and television\, he returned to writing in 2004 as the author of the acclaimed tome The Decanter\, An Illustrated History of Glass From 1650. He followed this in 2006 with Miller’s‘ 20th Century Glass. He has written for journals as diverse as The Times and Glass Circle News and ran Britain’s largest antique and vintage glass gallery in Rye\, Sussex. He is best known as the glass specialist on BBC’s evergreen Antiques Roadshow.

Those traditions are in many ways still continued to this day. This talk looks at how Christmas has been celebrated over the years and how each November\, the Palace and its grounds are transformed into a Christmas feast for the eyes. \nLecturer Antonia Keaney \nAntonia Keaney\, theartssociety.org \nAntonia joined Blenheim Palace in 2008 as a member of the Education Team\, later becoming the Palace’s Social Historian and Digital Content Creator.
