About
Lisa Milroy is fascinated by material transformation and how one substance turns into another, whether it’s fabric into clothing, ink into words, clay into ceramics, or pigments into paintings. Milroy is also interested in imaginative transformation – how a painting turns into an experience that can touch or move the viewer.

Handmade: Paintings by Lisa Milroy brings together a selection of Milroy’s work from the past ten years to explore the subject of ‘looking and making’ and transformation. The paintings in the exhibition focus on the relation between the hand and eye, and the interplay between thinking, feeling and making. The exhibition features a range of work that reflects the diversity of Milroy’s approach to painting, including oil on canvas, interactive paintings and 3-D paintings.

About
Our session on 28 March 2018 will be dealing with the connection between education and the market. How is the education system trying to make sure that its graduates are well prepared to enter the labour force? Are we doing enough to encourage young people to choose courses that are in high demand by the market? Is the professional education system geared towards providing the best possible education, even if it isn’t in an academic field? And how does the German dual education system earn its reputation of producing highly skilled trained workers?
