INFORMATION FOR EDUCATION GROUPS/COURSE LEADERS
The John Latham Foundation is looking to build stronger links between FTHo and further and higher education. We offer tours of the house and welcome visits from a wide variety of courses at all levels. The house is of obvious interest to Fine Art, Design and History of Art students. Latham was a key figure in British art from the 1950s and a pioneer in many art movements, including conceptualism, artists' film and performance. His influence on his contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists through the Artist Placement Group, founded with Barbara Steveni, make his work an
ideal starting point for teaching a wide span of modern art history.

We hope that the material on hand at FTHo would also be relevant to students of many other disciplines, including Architecture, Physical Sciences and Philosophy. Latham's work is both technically innovative and visually compelling and offers a radical and complex visual language with which to think about connections between social and physical phenomena, art, science and philosophy.


PROPOSALS WELCOME
As well as tours and talks on Latham's art and ideas, FTHo is happy to act as venue for courses and lecturers to use for a wide variety of activities. The Hand, John's former studio, is the main space for FTHo's exhibitions and events and can be set up for small group seminars and workshops. This leads to a small garden area and an out-building that can be set up for talks, events and presentations. FTHo has already hosted a conversation between artist David Lamelas and curator Lisa Le Feuvre, screenings of films by Hollis Frampton, Christopher Maclaine and John Smith, a lecture from the Free School and an all-day workshop run by UCL Museums and Collections with artist Abigail Reynolds for architects and physicists from UCL, the Bartlett School and the University of Oxford.

We can arrange the required facilities for talks, seminars and screenings, and hope that this fascinating and unique off-site location could be useful for half-day, day and longer programmes and projects. We welcome proposals from all educational institutions.

FTHo and its material can also be used by individual students working on longer term research projects, dissertations and theses. The archive is currently being catalogued and is not yet fully accessible.
