Out of town (cont)<br />

Dreaming oneself awake, an exhibition of work<br />

by Eileen Agar RA, is at Farleys Gallery<br />

from the 20th. She was the only British<br />

woman to be invited to exhibit her work at<br />

the 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition,<br />

which led to a lifelong friendship with Roland<br />

Penrose and Lee Miller and, eventually,<br />

visits to their Sussex farmhouse home. The<br />

exhibition (Sundays only) continues until the<br />

15th of July. Join leading authority on British<br />

Surrealism, Michel Remy, for a discussion<br />

on her work on Sunday 20th <strong>May</strong> (7pm, see<br />

farleyshouseandgallery.co.uk for tickets).<br />

Problem<br />

In Brighton<br />

Agar’s work also features in Virginia Woolf:<br />

an exhibition inspired by her writings; a major<br />

touring exhibition arriving at Pallant House<br />

on the 26th. Featuring 80 female artists<br />

working from 1854 to the present day, this<br />

timely exhibition ‘seeks to show how her<br />

perspectives on feminism and creativity<br />

have remained relevant to a community of<br />

creative women across time…’ Expect works<br />

by Winifred Nicholson, Vanessa Bell,<br />

Sandra Blow, Gluck and many more besides.<br />

Unmissable. (Until September the 16th.)<br />
