Artist Talks

While a Volunteer Guide at Tate I conducted many tours of Special Exhibitions in addition to preparing and delivering the one-hour gallery tours available daily at both galleries.

In January 2024 I am giving a talk to Tyneside Arts Society on German Expressionist Art.

For the Special Exhibitions the preparation included thorough research into the artist and/or topic, attending the Curators’ Introduction to the exhibition, and selecting the works to feature in the special tour. This involved ensuring a balance of works from the whole of the exhibition, avoiding, where possible, works featured in the Audioguide, and being prepared for both specific and more general questions from the 15 people on the tour.

Exhibitions included: 

Damien Hirst, Tate Modern, 2012  

Pre-Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde, Tate Britain, 2012 

Late Turner, Tate Britain, 2014  

Paul Nash, Tate Britain, 2016 

David Hockney, Tate Britain, 2017
