History in the Making, Number Nine the Gallery present a solo show of Míla Judge-Fürstová at Berkeley Castle.

Míla Judge-Fürstová and number nine will be holding a special event at Berkeley Castle in July 2008.

This is an incredible castle from the Norman times, still lived in by the family with history from as far back as history books go, with Edward II imprisoned and killed there, Vivaldi played piano there, Shakespeare wrote mid summer nights comedy for a Berkeley Wedding there, it is a great step for the future aristocracy, Fürstová is royalty in itself, so the show will be called ‘History in the Making’, considering there is an Albert Durer original oil hanging off the kitchen area, 15 pieces of Míla in the great hall should be a fantastic opportunity to see the old with the new.

The show will run from Saturday 19th July 2008 until Wednesday 23rd July. Míla will be present over the weekend and drinks will be served from 3:00pm on Saturday and Sunday - for invites please contact the gallery here.

Work to be Auctioned at The Midsummer Night's Ball

In order to give her support as the Artist in Residence at the Cheltenham Ladies' College to the school's exciting project of building a new Performing Art Centre, Míla has created an elaborate piece of work (pictured to the right), which will be auctioned on the 7th of June at the Midsummer Night's Ball.

The ball will be hosted by Lord and Lady Vestey and the patron of the project, Kristin Scott Thomas, in the beautiful setting of Stowell Park

About Míla

Míla Judge-Fürstová is a unique artist printmaker whose works combine both the mythical and historical with personal narratives. Printmaking has a deep history with books and lends itself naturally to telling complex stories. In the “Danae” series the motif of water is explored as a feminine theme suggesting power and release. In “Flight over Sea” and “Flight V” the ideas of escape and the erosion of identity are examined. Perhaps of all the mediums artists use, intaglio printmaking lends itself to self reflection – even to the literal mirror like quality of a copper plate. Although in many previous works Míla has suggested her own presence she is now depicting herself as a protagonist within the images.

The fascination that her work inspires is very much a product of that difficult to achieve synthesis of technical virtuosity and poetic spirit. What we can take from work like this is something as profound as an encounter with another person.
