Wednesday 5 June, 7.30pm, Picture Gallery
Ruby’s Room: Photographic Miniatures by Bettina Von Zwehl

Artist Bettina von Zwehl will be in conversation with curator Katy Barron about her current exhibition Ruby's Room: Photographic Miniatures. Bettina will discuss the way that her recent practice has evolved as a result of working with the miniatures collection in the Victoria and Albert Museum and how the exhibition at the Holburne is a further investigation into the little-known world of eye miniatures. The conversation will also touch on contemporary photographic portraiture and its relationship to earlier forms of art.
