Friday Late at the National Gallery

The National Gallery hosts late night visits most weeks, but once a month, it takes things up a notch. On Friday March 20, its bumper after-hours programme is based on a new work by artist in residence Ming Wong. His film Dance of the sun on the water | Saltatio solis in aqua is inspired by the story of Saint Sebastian, who survived being shot by Roman archers while tied to a tree and is depicted in several paintings throughout the gallery. There’ll be life drawing sessions, a performance from artist and musician bones tan jones inspired by the saint, a talk about how the ancient world has been presented in art and film over time, and a screening of the film itself accompanied by a live score.
