On Tuesday 2 December Ikon hosted a round table discussion which considered Darcy Lange's work both in isolation and in wider socio-geographical contexts; his fractious relationship with the art world and the influence upon his life and work of the Flamenco tradition of the Andalusian gypsies. The international panel included Mercedes Vicente, curator of Lange’s 2006 retrospective at the Govett - Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth, New Zealand; Guy Brett, London-based critic and curator; Peggy Gale, Canadian curator and author of seminal texts on artists’ video; Lynda Morris, curator and critic; Phil Slight, former lecturer at the School of Art Education and Helen Legg, Ikon Curator.
A recording of the event can be heard in Darcy Lange's Media Gallery
