Contemporary Art Engagement
Have you noticed that spending time in a museum makes you calm and focused? Have you often felt that looking at artworks, really looking, ignites a little fire in your brain? That discussing a topic with others gives you a sense of connection and wellbeing?
Then my contemporary art engagement program is for you.
An art engagement program using the artworks of our time, Sabine’s sessions are centred around the idea of object-based looking: taking time to be with each artwork to let its stories and our reactions unfold.

Join me for an exclusive studio visit with three artists at Chisenhale Studios. Alicia Paz, born in Mexico and raised there, in the US and in France, invites us into a tactile, surreal, and immersive visual language. She recently completed an artist residency at Chatsworth house, where she drew inspiration from the ornamental interiors. Her transfers of photographic and photogram images onto delicate fabrics were shown at this year’s Photo London. Amikam Toren, Israeli-born and London-based, is a conceptual artist whose practice incorporates the destruction of ready-made objects that are then resurrected in his paintings and sculptures. Alice Sarah Kate Wilson’s colourful paintings and sculptures are inspired by ancestral knowledge, the cosmos, and magical practices, and her skillful mixing of media results in iridescent compositions that mimic animals and nature.

*This tour is part of ART TO MIND - my program of art engagement for mental wellbeing, and priced at a more accessible level. The pace of the tour will be adapted to the group’s needs.
Private Art Tours
The Art Tours are 2hrs long and take place on site, visiting a museum, a few smaller galleries, or public artworks outside. The sessions are inclusive, fun and engaging. By closely looking at artworks, we will unravel the mysteries and pleasures of art together. The tours will offer a safe space in which you can think, talk and make new connections, and connect with other art lovers.
Art Engagement Sessions
The Engagement sessions are 1 hour long and theme-based. They are brought to you either on Zoom or in the classroom. The theme is attuned to the interests of your audience. An A-level art history class? We will pick a theme that is current in the curriculum and use contemporary artworks to shine a new light on preconceived ideas. An organisation with immigrant learners? We can talk about artworks by immigrant artists and how their rich experiences of being part of different cultures forms the basis and strength of their work. Whatever your interest and needs, my sessions aim to make the art experience relevant for YOU.
