Definitions of Art
The discussion continued well beyond the end of Roxana Tohaneanu-Shields's lively and provocative talk on Definitions of Art on 2 May. Roxi gathered together a plethora of ideas from the fields of aesthetics, philosophy, fine art and art history. She is currently workiing on a PhD in Aesthetics at University of Reading. This was the last talk in the current Artspeak series at OHOS, but watch this space for details of the next series, which will appear soon.

Olympic Inspiration
Life Force: The Corn Exchange, Newbury. 1 May - 14 June 2012
This exhibition, curated by Jane Vaidya, presents work inspired by the 2012 Olympics. It includes OHOS artist Ingrid Jensen's photographs of her sculpture Poker Dice. This was originally made for arjeea21's Olympic Ideals exhibition in Battle Library Reading in 2009 in response to the Olympic and Paralympic Values: Excellence, Respect, Friendship, Equality, Determination, Courage and Inspiration. The five plaster forms are derived from knuckle bones, and may rest in any one of six positions. No matter how high our ideals, our future is still vulnerable to chance - a throw of the dice.
The exhibition is part of Open Studios West Berkshire and North Hampshire.
