Abstract

Murray Grigor is an independent Scottish film-maker, writer and exhibition curator who has won international acclaim for his ongoing contribution to the arts spanning over 40 years. His own first film in 1968 featured the then neglected Glasgow architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, winning five international awards and helping to re-establish the reputation of the architect, designer and artist, now celebrated world-wide as one of the most creative figures of the early twentieth century. Since then Murray has made over 50 films covering arts and architecture and a number of humorous and polemical films and exhibitions. Anglia Ruskin University awarded him an Honorary Doctor of Arts in 2010. There will be a drinks reception at 6pm, followed by the talk. Free event, please pre-book at www.anglia.ac.uk/communityevents.
