Join us to celebrate the launch of a new DCA publication to accompany France-Lise McGurn's exhibition The Charm Offensive.

This beautifully designed book richly documents McGurn’s new body of work. Offering a lasting insight into her multi-faceted practice, it includes photographs of the exhibition and some individual works, alongside a new text commission by curator and writer John Douglas Millar. It also features an introduction by DCA’s Head of Exhibitions Dan Brown and a preface by DCA Director Beth Bate.

Guests will have the opportunity to hear France-Lise McGurn and members of DCA’s Exhibitions team in conversation, followed by audience questions and book signings. 

Copies of The Charm Offensive will be available to buy at this event.
