Art History and Visual Studies is very sorry to report that Jean-Luc Nancy has been ill and has had to cancel his visit to Manchester as our Pilkington Chair.
This is very disappointing for everyone, including Jean-Luc Nancy.
As there has been so much interest in his visit, all of us in AHVS would appreciate your help in spreading the word.
Thank you for your understanding and help.

An Evening of Fashion, Music, Art and Marcel Proust
Thursday 30 May 2013
6pm – 8.45pm
Join us to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of Marcel Proust’s Swann’s Way at Manchester Art Gallery in partnership with the University of Manchester.
Enjoy a multi-sensory journey back in time to the late 19th century Parisian salons from which the novel was born, and explore highlighted works from the Gallery’s collection that relate to Proust’s novel.
Musicians from RNCM will be in the Galleries performing chamber music inspired by late 19th century Paris.
A special guided tour will take you round the Galleries: starting with a talk by art historian Sophie Preston highlighting Proust’s relationship with Manchester, and finishing with a discussion by dress historian Wendy Ligon Smith on Proust’s beloved Delphos gown by Venetian designer Mariano Fortuny, newly on display.
Come early and enjoy a drink in our Cafe bar
For further information please visit the Gallery website.

Museums at Night: The festival of inspiring after hours cultural events in museums, galleries and heritage sites. Thursday May 16 – Saturday May 18 2013.
The Connect10 online public vote is now open, with 38 venues competing to host ten Museums at Night events featuring ten artists ranging from the Chapman Brothers to Richard Wentworth.
Artist, curator and teacher, Richard Wentworth has helped to alter traditional definitions of both sculpture and photography.
Three historic venues – Gloucester Folk Museum, Shandy Hall in York and Dragon Hall in Norwich – hope to welcome him. But he could be set for a multi-venue night in the north-west, where Manchester Museum, Manchester Art Gallery and the Whitworth Art Gallery are tabling a joint bid.
To help Manchester win the bid, cast your vote here: http://www.culture24.org.uk/places%20to%20go/museums%20at%20night/art420745
