Led by Sarah Kent, art critic

Mondays 15 October 2007 – 19 November 2007, 18.30–20.00

Louise Bourgeois was the first artist invited to make an installation in the Turbine Hall, a mark of the enormous respect in which her work is held. Although she is now in her nineties, her drawings, prints and sculptures are as relevant as ever. Quirkily perverse and humorously edgy, they address issues such as memory and trauma, sexuality and betrayal.

Starting with her retrospective, this six-session course takes some of the themes explored in her work as the basis for discussing things in the collection by artists as diverse as Salvador Dalí, Jackson Pollock, Mona Hatoum and Francesca Woodman, plus the current installation in the Turbine Hall by Doris Salcedo.
