This summer, Hastings Contemporary presents Seaside Modern: Art and Life on the Beach.
With staycations booming and forecasters predicting a surge in the popularity of traditional seaside resorts, curator James Russell @jamesrussell66 takes a fresh look at the popularity of the British seaside in the first half of the 20th century.
Workers took advantage of their newly-gained holidays to flock to the coasts, and young sophisticates cast aside Victorian attitudes to nudity and donned fashionable beachwear. Through their own exploration of the landscapes and inhabitants of the seashore, artists established the British beach as an essential site of the development of Modern British art.
Open Thursday - Sunday, tickets are available to book via our website. ...
Make the most of this beautiful weather and explore our town with the world's first-ever art GeoTour with Hastings Contemporary and @cultureshiftcio
Using geocaching, the GPS-enabled digital treasure hunt technology, communities from each of the seven #EnglandsCreativeCoast locations were invited to share their personal stories of what it’s like to live in that particular coastal place, respond to the new artwork in their town and give visitors a new way to interact with the landscape.
In Hastings, there are 6 geocaches stretching from one end of the borough to the other, each located fairly close to the coast.
Made by 6 different groups, they all take on different shapes and forms dictated by their different hiding places and the stories each group wants ...
Our Shop sells not only the beautiful Seaside Modern catalogues but also a selection of postcards from the exhibition.
Make sure to have a look when you visit us this weekend.
Please prebook your tickets via our website www.hastingscontemporary.org
