David Hockney’s practice has long emphasised the active role of the viewer, the experience of time, and the intelligence of looking, questions that remain central as technologies increasingly mediate how the world is seen and understood. At MODO you are able to extend this inquiry into a wider conversation about human judgement, interpretation, confidence and inventive thinking in contemporary culture. OR simply look, enjoy and take it easy with a glass in your hand!Everyone is always welcome ....... but for these two hours on the 12th - we will have a drink for you, and later opening!Feel free to wander or to ask questions.We are a friendly gallery looking to do gallery space differently and more inclusively.MODO is proud to be an independent gallery aims to always hang works for every level of collector, from first time buyers to museum quality pieces.

Across his work and writing, Hockney has consistently challenged the assumption that there is a single, neutral way of seeing, arguing instead that technologies of vision, from painting and photography to film, television, and now digital systems, actively shape how reality is understood, shared, and governed.The Cambridge Lectures on Art & Intelligence extends this inquiry into a wider public conversation. At a moment when artificial intelligence is transforming how images, information, and decisions are produced, the series asks what forms of human perception, judgement, and interpretive agency remain essential, and how they are developed, recognised, and sustained within education, culture, and industry.The lecture programme brings together leading voices from research, education, culture, and applied inquiry. Confirmed contributors include Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at the University of Cambridge, Alexandros Tsompanidis, researcher at the Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge, contributors connected to CETI, the Cetacean Translation Initiative exploring non-human intelligence and communication, and Eryk Salvaggio, writer and researcher examining the cultural and ethical dimensions of artificial intelligence.Rather than positioning art as illustration or enrichment, the lecture series treats visual culture as a serious cognitive and social force, one that shapes how societies organise knowledge, authority, and innovation. It reflects a shared concern between MODO and ACE CIC that as systems become more automated, forms of human thinking rooted in perception, innovation, and judgement should be encouraged.The Cambridge Lectures on Art & Intelligence is conceived as a multi-year public inquiry, with the series planned to continue over the next three to five years. Future programmes are expected to bring together a broad range of contributors spanning education leadership, research, cultural practice, and applied fields, building a sustained conversation rather than a one-off event.The lectures are not framed as a debate about technology. Instead, they offer an inquiry into how human intelligence has evolved through changing image systems, and how it might continue to do so under conditions of rapid technological change. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/a486c2b0-fdad-11f0-9575-e3272c6d75d4-rimg-w433-h740-dcdabdaa-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/a4d46d80-fdad-11f0-942f-d149ae617f16-rimg-w741-h740-dcc3c4cf-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/a504a540-fdad-11f0-9575-e3272c6d75d4-rimg-w555-h740-dcd9d4d8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/a55a8d70-fdad-11f0-9575-e3272c6d75d4-rimg-w555-h740-dcd8c2ac-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/a5a8d480-fdad-11f0-9575-e3272c6d75d4-rimg-w997-h740-dcf0e7dd-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/modo-gallery-crawl-david-hockney-cambridge-arts-festival/100001981974661566 - **Event Categories**: art, festivals, exhibitions, fine-arts, literary-art, entertainment, artificial-intelligence - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: MODO - **lat**: 52.20575559999999 - **long**: 0.1207315 - **full address**: MODO, 62 Sidney Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: MODO gallery crawl - DAVID HOCKNEY - Cambridge Arts Festival - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/bd2fb3a2018b8c4b15cc473ec05ff1b248be4ca1a9b865fb438d067558ad1169-rimg-w1200-h1600-dcd7c3ab-gmir.jpg?v=1769758274 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is MODO gallery crawl - DAVID HOCKNEY - Cambridge Arts Festival being held? - **A:** MODO gallery crawl - DAVID HOCKNEY - Cambridge Arts Festival takes place on Thu, 12 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Thu, 12 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm at MODO, 62 Sidney Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing MODO gallery crawl - DAVID HOCKNEY - Cambridge Arts Festival? - **A:** MODO gallery crawl - DAVID HOCKNEY - Cambridge Arts Festival is organized by MODO. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

MODO, an independent, three-storey gallery dedicated entirely to Britain’s most celebrated living artist, is presenting a major exhibition that will run until 2026.At the centre of the exhibition is a 17-metre frieze of Hockney’s Normandy iPad images, displayed alongside a 15-metre print of the Bayeux Tapestry – the historic work that inspired Hockney’s sweeping depiction of the seasons. Visitors are invited to walk both pieces in parallel, experiencing a dialogue between medieval and modern storytelling.The exhibition also includes an immersive media room featuring Hockney’s moon images, together with a wide-ranging selection of original works, prints, iPad drawings, and limited editions across all three floors of the gallery.Exhibition dates: A Year in Normandy - NOW open, running until 2026END BOSSINESS SOON(Student exhibition) will run from 29th November - 3rd December 2025 (along side the A Year in Normandy Exhibition)Location: MODO Gallery, CambridgePlease follow us on Instagram@nowmodo@ace_c.i.cMODO’sconnection to this period in Hockney’s career is rooted in memory as well as exhibition. One Sunday afternoon in London, over champagne and conversation, Hockney spoke of his wish to create his own “Bayeux Tapestry of the arrival of spring” before leaving for Normandy. That vision later became A Year in Normandy, which now resonates withinMODO’sexhibition alongside the tapestry that first inspired it.In addition to its exhibition programme,MODOis proud to work in partnership withArt and Culture Education CIC(ACE CIC). Together, the organisations are committed to ensuring that galleries engage not only with collectors, but with young people, schools, and local communities. By opening doors to the arts, they aim to challenge systemic barriers and show that creativity is central to society’s future.“As an independent gallery, our mission is to make Hockney’s vision permanently accessible here in Cambridge,” said Sally Clark, Director and Curator ofMODO. “Partnerships with organisations like ACE CIC are vital. If we want the next generation of innovators to drive both culture and the economy forward, the arts must be part of their world from the beginning.”ACE CIC advocates for a rebalancing of the education system, recognising that industries of the future will depend on creative thinkers as much as scientists and engineers. By linking galleries, schools, and communities, the organisation works to ensure that art remains a driver of social progress, cultural legitimacy, and economic growth.With international capitals staging temporary shows,MODOstands apart as a permanent destination to engage with Hockney’s work. The exhibition confirms Cambridge as a vital point on the global cultural map, while also contributing to the wider mission of ensuring that art education, access, and innovation remain at the centre of our collective future.DAVID HOCKNEYis one of the most influential British artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, renowned for his pioneering contributions to contemporary art. A key figure in the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, Hockney has continually redefined artistic practice through his bold experimentation and innovative approach.Working across painting, drawing, printmaking, stage design, and digital media, Hockney demonstrates an unrelenting curiosity that transcends traditional boundaries. His vivid depictions of Californian landscapes, radical explorations of perspective, and embracing of cutting-edge technologies such as iPad drawings and digital photography reflect his ever-evolving artistic vision. By challenging conventions and reimagining the possibilities of visual expression, Hockney has cemented his place as a revolutionary force in modern and contemporary art.Hockney’s work is a reminder that creativity thrives when given the freedom and resources to evolve, somethingMODOstrive to support through our programming and partnership withACEC.I.C." } ] } ] ```
