September / October 2012 - Jersey

Daily
Occupied: Behind Barbed
Wire - Exhibition
An exhibition of artwork and artefacts
made by those deported whilst in their
internment camps, including items
recycled from Red Cross parcels, such as
the cardboard, the string, the cellophane
packing material, the tins themselves and
the wooden parcel crates. These were all
turned into a variety of objects. Unless
we tell the story while the last of these
deportees are alive all the unique,
moving and sometimes beautiful stories
would be lost, as would all of the
personal collections in people's attics -
crucially, these items tell the story of
internment. They speak of the
experience of deportation and
internment of these 2,200 people
deported from the Channel Islands
during World War II.

The Queen by Chris Levine
This year Jersey Heritage joins the
Island's Jubilee celebrations with an
exhibition called The Queen by Chris
Levine. Well known in England for his
striking holographic portraits and
abstractions, in 2004 Chris Levine was
commissioned to make a portrait of the
Queen as part of Jersey's
celebrations of its 800-year old
relationship with the monarchy. The
resulting pictures – both traditional and
lenticular - have revolutionized the art of
royal portraiture, taking it into a visual,
technological, and psychological realm
never before attempted. The Queen by
Chris Levine is a display of some of those
images and 3-D data sets of Her
Majesty.
Time: 10:00 – 16:00
Price: £10.90 adult, £6.75 child, £9.90
senior, under 6s free

1781 The Battle of Jersey
- Exhibition
On display for the first time in Jersey is
the famous painting by Copley,
The Death of Major Peirson, which
normally hangs at the Tate Britain. The
most important painting to the history of
the Island, Copley’s work represents the
spirit of the Battle of Jersey, a pivotal
point in the Island’s history. In 2012 we
have a chance to bring the painting to its
spiritual home and exhibit it with
artefacts from the event itself, including:
a bullet fired during the battle and an
actual drum that is shown in the painting.
