David Jones: A Mythic Understanding
An exhibition at Camberwell College of Art, (Peckham Road, London SE5 8UF)
6 November - 14 December, 2018 
​
From the web page: 
'This exhibition is one part of a College-wide project led by Geoff Coupland (aka ZEEL) that explores the life and themes of the work of artist, illustrator and poet David Jones. 
Jones was aged just 14 when he first attended the then Camberwell Art School in 1909, before enlisting for service with the Royal Welch Fusiliers to fight in the First World War. This experience had a profound effect on Jones both emotionally and artistically. He went on to write ‘In Parenthesis’, an epic, novel-length war poem, and as an artist working in many modes, he made numerous paintings, drawings and book illustrations with a particular use of mythical imagery. 
His legacy is visible in the work of many illustrators working today, including John Vernon Lord, Clive Hicks Jenkins, Charlotte Cory, Marguerite Carnec, Sue Coe, Linda Kitson and David McKean, and their contemporary work will be shown alongside a display about Jones’ life and work created especially for the exhibition by design studio Work-Form.'

Beyond Sound and Shape: The war poetry and art of David Jones 
Part of 'The Human Being: A Paradox of Freedom', 3 November, 2018, London

As we reach the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, this exhibition will examine the paintings and poetry of David Jones, who served as an infantryman in the trenches. It recounts a story of camaraderie experienced in the face of detached superiors, unbending military rigour and inhuman danger. As a soldier, Jones found freedom in a tenderness towards his companions, an awareness of the beauty that lies beyond what is merely useful, and a heroism within what is mundane or enforced.

The centenary of the First World War has prompted new publications on and public interest in the life and work of the Anglo-Welsh poet and painter David Jones (1895-1974). In 2015 Chichester's Pallant House Gallery devoted a major exhibition to Jones, its magisterial catalogue by Paul Hills and Ariane Bankes attracting attention in the scholarly and popular press. English composer Iain Bell adapted Jones's war poem In Parenthesis (1937) for the Welsh National Opera in 2016. BBC Radio 4 featured Thomas Dilworth's biography of Jones, the fruit of three decades' research, as a Book of the Week in April 2017. Chapters in recent monographs by Anthony Domestico, Matthew Griffiths, and W. David Soud, among others, have considered Jones alongside his better-known peers. In late 2017 Brill presented a collection of essays addressing the question of Jones's status as a "Christian Modernist." In summer 2018 the journal Religion & Literature released a David Jones Special Issue and Bloomsbury Academic included an edition of Jones's unpublished prose in its Modernist Archives series, with an edition of his unpublished poetry to appear in December.


This seminar calls students and scholars of Jones to capitalize on and contribute to this growing corpus. Some spurs:
- Investigations of the vast Jones archives in North America and the UK
- Approaches to editing and exhibiting Jones's work and correspondence
- Jones among his Modernist peers
- Jones's inheritance and legacy
- Jones's cultural and aesthetic theories
- Jones and theology, religion, the Second Vatican Council, "the post-secular"
- Jones's politics, political theology
- Jones's women
- Jones's wars
