A short fifteen-minute talk in the Great Gallery of the museum, led by Rosa Somerville. It looks at Rachel Kneebone's white porcelain sculptures, After the Dance I and III, and how they invite comparisons with the paintings and sculptures around them. Set against dark red walls and gilded frames, the works draw attention to movement, stillness and transformation across the Collection. Places are limited and allocated first-come, first-served on the day.
