At Charleston you’ve got till the 6th of Jan to see Orlando at<br />
the present time, a series of responses in the Wolfson Galleries by<br />
contemporary artists – such as Kaye Donachie, Delaine Le Bas<br />
and Matt Smith, to Virginia Woolf’s ground-breaking 1928 novel.<br />
The South Gallery, meanwhile, features striking LGBTQIA+<br />
portraits by Zanele Muholi, while the Spotlight Gallery hosts<br />
Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant’s Famous Women Dinner Service.<br />
Now the house is open year-round, join them on the 25th and 26th<br />
for the festive Frost Fair, bringing 30 contemporary makers into<br />
the refurbished barns with plenty of Christmas goodies and gift ideas. There will be winter lunches, hot<br />
toddies and mince pies, and natural wreaths, swags, garlands and Christmas trees in the Barnyard.<br />

Three exhibitions started<br />
up at the Jerwood in<br />
Hastings in late October,<br />
which all run till Jan<br />
6th. We mentioned<br />
the collaborative work<br />
of Maggi Hambling<br />
with her artist friends<br />
Sebastian Horsley,<br />
Sarah Lucas, Julian<br />
Simmons and Juergen<br />
Teller, on in the main<br />
gallery, last month. In<br />
Vanishing Points upstairs, you can see the thoughtprovoking<br />
work of Barbara Walker, who has<br />
picked two paintings featuring black subjects from<br />
the National Gallery (by Tiepolo and Giordano)<br />
and has juxtaposed these with her own works,<br />
to examine the historical masterpieces in a fresh<br />
context. And there’s a bit of light relief with<br />
Quentin Blake’s Hats. Oh, and<br />
while you’re over that way,<br />
why not check out the<br />
exhibition of Marilyn<br />
Stafford’s iconic fashion<br />
photographs, from Biba<br />
to Chanel, at the Lucy<br />
Bell Gallery in St Leonard’s<br />
(27th Oct – 17th Nov).<br />
