We welcome our friend Neal Potter to the museum for a special talk plus Q&A. "From Pit Painting to Global Exhibition,” follows his career journey from his formative years in a Derbyshire mining village, through art school and on to travelling the world designing international exhibitions and museums.
Neal recalls his journey – the charity work – the lucky breaks – the sleepless nights – the lost exhibits - the crazy clients - the passionate clients - a constant desire to be creative and, the need to stay financially viable.
Neal is a film-inspired designer of both Kent MOMI and the original Museum of the Moving Image, on London's Southbank. Ticket includes complimentary glass of wine or tea/coffee.
There will be a free screening of Neal's favourite film, The Hunt for Red October (production designer, Terence Marsh) on Friday 5th, at 6.30pm (see EVENTS page).
