Stills: WEDNESDAY, 15 FEBRUARY 6PM. Globalisation, Art, Realism, Allan Sekula

2012-02-09T11:58:00.001Z

WEDNESDAY, 15 FEBRUARY 6PM
Stills Gallery, 23 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1BP, www.stills.org<http://www.stills.org/>

Globalisation & Art Lectures: For this lecture series art historians, photographers, artists and visual culture specialists have been invited to examine the intersections between art and the social realities produced by globalisation. All of the lectures are FREE. To book a place please email programme@stills.org<mailto:programme@stills.org>.

Gail Day: Social Transitivity in Allan Sekula's The Lottery of the Sea. Focusing on Allan Sekula's video essay The Lottery of the Sea (2006), Gail Day considers the longstanding, but recently revived, problem of realism. Her talk explores the representational strategies used to negotiate a critical cognition of contemporary capitalism.

Gail Day is Senior Lecturer in the School of Fine Art, History of Art & Cultural Studies at the University of Leeds. Her book Dialectical Passions: Negation in Postwar Art Theory was published by Columbia University Press in 2010.

Steve Edwards: Some Brechtian Moments. Taking the re-evaluation of Bertolt Brecht's legacy as a starting point, Steve Edwards will use the radical aesthetics of the 1970s as a frame for thinking about Allan Sekula's photo-text works.

Steve Edwards teaches art history at the Open University. Books include: The Making of English Photography, Allegories (2006) and Photography : A Very Short Introduction (2006). His book Martha Rosler's The Bowery in Two Inadequate Descriptive Systems will be published by Afterall early in 2012. He is an editor of Historical Materialism and of Oxford Art Journal.

[History of Art] This programme is presented with generous support from The University of Edinburgh's History of Art department and the Roberts Fund.

DAVID SHRIGLEY & VIP ART FAIR

2012-02-02T14:36:00.001Z

[http://www.stephenfriedman.com/assets/logo.png]<http://sut5.co.uk/sLIWB3r1sGsLurvfhIqM8vTxoveh9vP4-qz6r_7_rrTp4rXts-Xn6--g-djd3reUlZLG16TD1a7M2K2bmpnBg4WXg5yQmJGKkJ-fkZyQLmJtbg..>

8 February - 10 March 2012

Private View: Tuesday 7 February 2012, 6 - 8pm

Stephen Friedman Gallery is delighted to announce 'Arms Fayre', a solo exhibition of new work by acclaimed British artist David Shrigley. Presented here for the first time is a group of ceramic sculptures, the artist's most recent taxidermy curiosity and a brand new animation made especially for this exhibition.

David Shrigley graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 1991. Over the past two decades he has developed a rich and varied practice. Best known for his crudely composed ironic drawings, his work now also encompasses a broad range of media including photography, sculpture, music, animation and taxidermy. What is in common throughout is an appreciation for the absurd; an eye for the overlooked and an ability to convey humour in a myriad of ways. His subtle, yet often darkly witty imaginings provide a welcome counter to the banality of daily life. Likened to a 'playful surrealist,' Shrigley manages to acknowledge the post-war humour of 'Goon' Spike Milligan whilst simultaneously referencing the now iconic disjunction found in the work of artists such as René Magritte.

This exhibition brings together three strands of Shrigley's work. Presented in the front gallery space is an installation of new ceramic sculptures entitled 'Bombs'. These domestically sized objects brilliantly capture the archetypal image of a missile as commonly found in cartoon iconography – an elongated oval placed upright on four supporting feet. The bomb, traditionally an icon of war and destruction is transformed under Shrigley's touch. Here, the glazed, black surfaces conceal a fragile ceramic foundation, a natural material quite at odds with the power of the man-made weapon it is fashioned to resemble. The simplicity of form is key to the success of these objects: instantly recognisable yet not reliant on exact similitude the bombs are at once both alluring and disconcerting.

Such subversion is crucial to Shrigley's canny ability to manipulate his subject matter, a skill further evidenced in the darkened back gallery space. Here, Shrigley's newest animation, 'The Artist' is projected alongside his most recent taxidermy. 'Monkey' is a small, stuffed, headless squirrel monkey, or Saimiri sciureus. Standing atop a plinth, spot lit against the flickering black and white animation, the creature's silhouette is caught as if mid-dance. This playful pose is in juxtaposition with the monkey's headless stature. Frozen in time, the small mammal should be an emblem for death. Yet as ever with Shrigley, it is not that simple. In death there is humour; in the farcical there is meaning.

This exhibition highlights the breadth of Shrigley's practice whilst at the same time illustrating the strength in its fluidity. His film work is a natural progression from his drawings, allowing an expansion of narrative that one image cannot achieve. In the same way the ceramics are an apt development of this graphic work, the easily malleable clay responding well to the artist's light and impulsive touch and giving solid form to his shifting thought patterns.

In addition to the works in the main gallery space, there will be a presentation of new works on paper at no.11 Old Burlington Street, the majority of which have never been shown before.

This gallery show coincides with Shrigley's first ever mid-career UK survey, running concurrently at the Hayward Gallery, London. Highly anticipated, 'Brain Activity' is the most wide-ranging presentation of the artist's work to date and cements Shrigley's position as one of the UK's foremost cultural figures.

David Shrigley (b.1968, Macclesfield) lives and works in Glasgow. Forthcoming exhibitions include Brain Activity, Hayward Gallery, London, UK (2012). Recent notable solo exhibitions include Animate, The Turku art Museum, Finland (2011); Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts, Glasgow, Scotland (2010); New Powers, Kunsthalle Mainz, Germany (2009); David Shrigley, Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany (2008); BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, UK (2008); Everything Must Have a Name, Konsthall, Malmo, Sweden (2007) and David Shrigley, Dundee Contemporary Arts, Dundee, Scotland (2006).

Forthcoming group shows include A Perfect Day, Westergasfabriek, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (2012). Recent notable group exhibitions include Ron Arad's Curtain Call, The Roundhouse, London (2011); Rude Britannia, Tate Britain, London (2010); Laughing in a Foreign Language, Hayward Gallery, London, UK (2008); Momentary Momentum, Parasol Unit foundation for contemporary art, London; touring to Kettle's Yard, Cambridge, UK (2007-2008); The Compulsive Line: Etching 1900 to Now, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY (2006) and State of Play, Serpentine Gallery, London (2003).

Other projects include Sort of Opera: Pass the Spoon (In collaboration with David Fennessy and Nicholas Bone, featuring a live music played by the Red Note Ensemble), The Tramway, Glasgow (2011); touring to The Hayward Gallery, London, UK (2012).

1. RECORD/REWIND In-conversation Event/// 2 February 2012, 3 - 4.30pm
A unique opportunity to hear a speaker from renowned European Art & Media Centre alongside UK video art researchers, artists and curators.
To book a place at this free event go to: http://recordrewindinconversation.eventbrite.co.uk/<http://dundee.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=bec5c83c5721068bccd072abe&id=8d7012b2b2&e=32a6ecbb2f>
PREVIEW/// 2 February 2012, 6 – 8pm
EXHIBITION/// 3 February – 4 March 2012, Mon – Sun 12 – 4.30pm
REWIND Screening Event/// 15 February 5.30 – 7.30pm
RECORD>AGAIN! 40yearsvideoart.de<http://40yearsvideoart.de> - Part 2 is the second phase of a remarkable project 40jahrevideokunst.de<http://40jahrevideokunst.de>, initiated by the German Federal Cultural Foundation in 2006. Under the direction of ZKM Karlsruhe (Centre for Art & Media Technology), five leading German museums have worked in collaboration for the realisation of the project, which aims to preserve, restore and disseminate one of the most influential art forms of the 20th century; Video Art.
Including many works that have not been seen for decades, the exhibition features over 40 outstanding video pieces made between 1968 and 2008. Highlights include a rare work by Ulrike Rosenbach with her partner at the time, Klaus vom Bruch, the boxing match from 1972 that Joseph Beuys participated in at the documenta 5, and the first video synthesizer collages by Walter Schröder-Limmer.
The exhibition focuses exclusively on the medium of video and the core mission of the project, which is preservation, not canonisation. Many works from the history of video were considered untraceable, lost or no longer playable. The project's main concern is to save these works from deteriorating while at the same time reconstructing the history of the video movement as a whole.
The REWIND: Artists' Video in the 70s & 80s research project at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design provides a meaningful context for this exhibition to be shown at Centrespace at Visual Research Centre, DJCAD. The REWIND project through its focus on video works of the 1970s and 1980s provides a resource to address the gap in historical knowledge of the evolution of electronic media arts in the UK. Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) it has investigated, conserved and archived over 450 single screen and installation works from the first two decades of artists' works in video. Building upon the success of REWIND UK, a new funding support from the AHRC enables the project team to embark on REWINDItalia; a 28-month project that explores the important history and narratives of video art activity in Italy between 1968 and 1994.
RECORD/REWIND In-conversation Event: 2 February 2012, 3 - 4.30pm<http://dundee.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bec5c83c5721068bccd072abe&id=e39d23d837&e=32a6ecbb2f>

To accompany this exhibition of an extraordinary selection of video works from Germany, an In-conversation event will take place at the Visual Research Centre of DJCAD; the home of the REWIND research project. Featuring researchers, curators and artists from Germany and Britain, this discursive event provides a unique opportunity to scrutinise the histories of the video art movement in both countries and to unpack the propositions, approaches and outcomes of these two prestigious historic European research projects.
Speakers include Malcolm Dickson, Holger Mohaupt, Dorcas Müller and Stephen Partridge, chaired by Deirdre MacKenna. (see biogs below)

2. STUDENT CURATORIAL TEAM///
PREVIEW AND 'ZINE LAUNCH/// 24 February, 5 – 7pm
EXHIBITION/// Fun-A-Day and Satellite 'Zine Issue 6
25 February – 3 March
Bradshaw Art Space
Morgan Cahn from the Student Curatorial Team is leading a Fun-A-Day project in Dundee. The premise is simple: pick a project (take a photograph, make the bed, draw a picture, bake a cake, etc), do it every day in January, then show your work the following month in a big group show. Fun-A-Day seeks to remove the barriers to creativity by offering opportunities and invitations for participation. The project seeks to create a welcoming forum for people to share what they do, to strengthen existing communities of artists, and to kick-start new ones. The originators of Fun A Day are the artclash! collective in Philadelphia, PA (artclash.com<http://artclash.com>). Since its inception in 2004, the project has shown tens of thousands of pieces by hundreds of artists.

This exhibition features paintings, drawings and prints by students at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in the 1980s. Under the influence of the new Head of Fine Art, Professor Alan Robb, and fellow tutors such as Peter Collins and Ronald Forbes, a distinctive style emerged at that time - brightly coloured, highly finished and grotesque or cartoon-like works which could seem sinister yet funny, realistic yet surreal. Artists such as Graeme Todd, Ian Scott, Edward Summerton and Derrick Guild gave Duncan of Jordanstone an enviable reputation for its drawing and painting. This show has been created as a response to the exhibition A Painted World, opening at The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery & Museum on 27 January and featuring work by Alan Robb and his contemporaries.

1. EXHIBITION/// Jane & Louise Wilson
21 January – 25 March
This exhibition brings together two bodies of recent work by acclaimed British artists Jane and Louise Wilson: Atomgrad (Nature Abhors a Vacuum), 2010 and the UK premiere of Face Scripting – What Did the Building See?, 2011.
Commissioned by Forma to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster, Atomgrad (Nature Abhors a Vacuum) is a suite of large-scale photographic prints. These images depict deserted interiors from the now almost entirely abandoned town of Pripyat, situated within the 30km wide Exclusion Zone. The richly textured images include a kindergarten, a theatre and a swimming pool, all of which explicitly reveal the hurried nature of their abandonment.
Face Scripting – What Did the Building See? was inspired by the assassination of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh, a Hamas operative, in a Dubai hotel room in January 2010. The two-part film installation shows the artists' own film alongside real CCTV footage that was compiled, and subsequently released on YouTube, by the Dubai state police. This work is an intensely detailed study of the site of the assassination and a meditation on current
trends in surveillance techniques. Face Scripting – What Did the Building See? was made in collaboration with Shumon Basar and Eyal Weizman.
Jane and Louise Wilson were born in Newcastle and studied respectively at Newcastle Polytechnic and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee. They began working together in 1989 and in the following year undertook an MA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, London. Since then they have exhibited at major galleries internationally and were nominated for the Turner Prize in 1999.

2. CINEMA - GALLERY SCREENINGS/// Chosen by Jane & Louise Wilson
Dr. Strangelove
3 February, 6pm
Dir: Stanley Kubrick
A hysterical examination of Cold War paranoia, Dr. Strangelove satirises the idea that Mutually Assured Destruction would deter the prospect of nuclear war. Peter Sellers takes on three roles: Captain Lionel Mandrake, President of the United States Merkin Muffley and Dr. Strangelove.
Kiss Me Deadly
21 February, 6pm
Dir: Robert Aldrich
LA private-eye Mike Hammer picks up a mysterious blonde, only to be beaten up by thugs who kidnap her. When she turns up dead, Mike investigates, but things take a sinister turn when he finds a suitcase containing a strange glowing substance. Kiss Me Deadly plays on Cold War fears of nuclear apocalypse: it's perfect for those who like their noirs dark, their gumshoes hard-boiled and their blondes wearing nothing but a trench coat.

3. CINEMA/// Tatsumi
6 – 9 February (see website for times)
Dir. Eric Khoo

1. PREVIEW/// 10 February, 6 – 8pm
EXHIBITION/// Charming Snakes: Family Nart
Snake Charmers of the Sapera Caste and the Parvati Valley Disappearances - Ross Fraser Mclean  
13 February - 27 April
In the summer of 2011 photographer Ross Fraser Mclean travelled to India with a plan to travel the length and breadth of the country. He wanted to experience their diverse culture, the cities, the countryside, the desert land. However, a snap decision made on the day he arrived saw him stranded in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere, a virtual captive of the Sapera Caste of North India. In this exhibition Mclean presents his most narrative driven collection of work to date - a personal insight into this mysterious and dwindling community who have been living on the extreme fringes of society since their proud tradition of Snake Charming was outlawed by the Indian Government. There will be two screenings of a specially made documentary about Mcleans's experiences in India, commencing at 6.30pm and 7.30pm.   

2. CINEMA/// Movie Club

1. EXHIBITION///
A Painted World: Selected Works 1975 – 2011 by Alan Robb
Until 18 March
This exhibition features paintings by Alan Robb who was, for twenty years, Head of the School of Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, University of Dundee. Professor Robb was able to appoint an exciting group of like-minded artists who together created a highly successful culture of teaching and original research. This exhibition will include a curation of works from his collection, which acknowledge the interplay of ideas and influence that occur in a dynamic teaching environment.
Alan Robb's work is clearly figurative and has slowly evolved through a number of major shifts in means and content but always driven by ideas. His most recent body of work, in stark contrast to the "classical" paintings of the 90s, is strongly linked to Brazil and his research into the imaginative world of Afro-Brazilian Folklore and Cosmology.

Join us at SWG3 on Thursday 2nd February as Southern Comfort open the doors to THE original Louisiana party. We'll be mixing up Southern Comfort cocktails, old school horns and hot new DJs, keeping the volume cranked up and bodies swaying into the small hours.

Back in the day, any old Joe's house or porch could transform into a dance floor; furniture was pushed out of the way and the music was turned up. That's the essence of the Juke Joint. Nothing flashy, never showing off, everyone welcome.

Recreating the party atmosphere and giving y'all a taste of the unexpected will be DJs Blond Ambition and the Dixon Brothers alongside headliner, International DJ and Producer, Kissy Sell Out. A pioneer of the dance music world, Kissy has been hailed by Mixmag as "one of the most exciting, charismatic and entertaining DJs of the decade." Renowned for his electro productions and energetic DJ style, his set is guaranteed to get everyone in the party mood.

+44 141 Gallery is pleased to present 'The Beast That Shouted Love At The Heart Of The World', showcasing the result of a collaboration between Glasgow-based artists Mark Briggs, Jim Colquhoun and Conor Kelly.

Drawing from deviant histories within Ovidean mythology, 19th Century Romanticism, and slapstick, the exhibition will act as an invitation to worry the inherited tropes that grope towards the notion of a contemporary sublime. The collaboration will play with states of chaos, terror and deviant behaviour, neo-paganism, and arcane revivalism through suppressed and unconscious histories.

Friday 25.02.12

[http://img2.ymlp342.net/2x21_Umbertoweb.jpg]<http://t.ymlp342.net/ubuyalaejqqagaqyataumh/click.php>

A true master of the horror film soundtrack aesthetic, Umberto's music is a hypnotic, all-consuming journey, reeling you into a foggy, neon-lit world of graveyards, stalkers, haunted houses, witches and blood-stained corpses. Evoking the unsettling progressive rock of Goblin and the sinister, dystopian synth-work of John Carpenter, his acclaimed releases are as playful and experimental as they are expertly crafted. Flying over from Kansas City, Missouri for this special performance, Umberto will provide a live soundtrack to a secret film of his choice in cutting-edge arts venue SWG3.

Co-presented by independent promoters Cry Parrot, expect a suitably creepy production and otherworldly performance.

All tickets £5

Collective Gallery Press Release - New Work Scotland Programme 2011

Press Release
New Work Scotland Programme
Jack McConville | Ash Reid | Amelia Bywater & Christian Newby
21 January – 19 February

Collective's New Work Scotland Programme sets out to identify and support a new group of creative practitioners every year, reflecting current movements in visual art in Scotland. As NWSP enters its twelfth year, and in this current climate, Collective feels it is even more important that this programme continues to support and challenge emerging artists, writers and curators at a pivotal stage in their career.

Each consecutive New Work Scotland Programme is informed by feedback from the previous years to develop and refine the programme year on year. This year Collective broadened the application criteria, and now encourage artists who can be up to six years out of art school to apply. In addition we are working with Tramway, Glasgow, to support one NWSP artist to have a solo exhibition. This seedbed approach to change offers a chance to test each new development and to continue to work towards the goal of offering the best opportunity for creative and professional development at an emergent level in Scotland, whilst continuing to work with many other partners and networks adapt and enlarge the programme.

Mining the Horizon is the title given to New Work Scotland Programme 2011/12. The title was designed to give a more coherent context for the work within the programme and to offer applicants and selectors, a frame by which to explore the various possibilities offered by the programme. This title reflected our proposition to this year's applicants - to think of themselves as active agents within a framework and to consider themselves as a cohort, a team acting within that structure. Their proposition: to probe our collective horizons, through research, practice and presentation.

The New Work Scotland Programme selection panel changes each year, and this year it included Steven Cairns, Ian White and Torsten Lauschmann, to whom Collective are extremely grateful for all their insights and commitment. Collective made this year a transitional year marking a new, more integrated approach. Collective believe that in order to give practitioners the best chance of a developed outcome we need to invest more in their research and development.

Alongside the introduction of the title we have offered more space for group dialogue, demanding more from the participants, but offering them more in return. For the first time, all of the artists were invited on a 'retreat' weekend at Hospitalfield House, Arbroath.

Additionally, to reflect this shift, the residency Collective run with Studio Voltaire in London, moved from a solo opportunity to involving all practitioners in a series of collaborative residencies, resulting in greater opportunities as well as enabling stronger connections between peers within the programme, providing
time for the development of shared concerns.

The New Work Scotland Programme publication has also evolved and this new, more substantial annual gives a space and context for artists' pages, which allow for an alternative encounter with (or sideways glance at) the work of those involved in NWSP 2011/12. A critical/interpretive text will be commissioned to accompany each exhibition.

Artists' Biographies (full biographies are available upon request)

Jack McConville
Jack McConville graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2008 and works primarily in painting, creating images in open dialogue with art history and informed by contemporary cultural imagery. Within his works, the surface shifts between abstraction and figuration; objects and figures are rendered as graphic signs stripped of either expressive or descriptive intentions. Representational systems employed by Modernism are juxtaposed with those of 80's video games, in the examination of the continual shifting between the sign, the signified and the gap that separates them.

Ash Reid
Ash Reid graduated from MA Fine Art from Edinburgh College of Art in 2007. Working in collage, film, drawing and sound her practice explores memory, the nature of how it is formed and ways in which it can be revisited to survey effects of current cultural conditions. Particularly interested in the hypnagogic state as an entry point for this enquiry, her work forms fleeting situations that discombobulate past happenings into a series of punctuated actions.

Amelia Bywater and Christian Newby
Amelia Bywater and Christian Newby both graduated from the MFA programme at Glasgow School of Art in 2009. Their collaborative project integrates collage, photography, sculptural installation and publications. Informing their joint practice is a consideration to how objects and images can be re-appropriated and reinterpreted as a means of investigating the interference, translation and stability of the image and its relationship to history, nostalgia, narrative and resolution.

Gordon Schmidt
Gordon Schmidt studied Sculpture at the Emily Carr Institute, Vancouver and was an exchange student in the Environmental Art Department at Glasgow School of Art.

Rhianna Turnbull
Rhianna Turnbull graduated in 2006 from Painting and Printmaking at Glasgow School of Art. Working across collage, video, drawing and painting her work is concerned with lifestyle and identity.

Florrie James
Florrie James graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2010. Her work comments on cultural history and art history: existence, failure and continuation, explored through the medium of appropriated design, writing, painting and film-making.

Oliver Braid
Oliver Braid graduated from Glasgow School of Art MFA in 2010. Oliver describes his practice as: "exploring strategies with which work can be made and received. I often work with other individuals, and use collaboration as a way to challenge the conventional understandings of the procedures governing the making and reception of art, and search for an alternative." Taking inspiration from contemporary cultural sources from Big Brother to Harry Potter, Oliver offers a new lens with which to read contemporary art practice and its theories.

Joey Villemont
Joey Villemont graduated from Glasgow School of Art MFA this year. Working in sculpture, installation and film he explores elemental links between counter-culture and the prehistoric or primal. Through interweaving the past with popular culture Joey's work is concerned with the remaking of histories, proposing historical narratives which have never existed.

LAYING DOWN AND KISSING THE LOVE IN THE MIST
Part 2 - Caroline Achaintre, Neil Bickerton, Kathryn Elkin, Jess Flood-Paddock, Anna Mayer, Louise Shelley
Curated by Laura Aldridge
20th January - 18th February 2012

Preview: Friday 20th January 2012, 7-9 pm
Performances scheduled on the opening night: Neil Bickerton - 7:45pm & Kathryn Elkin - 8:15pm

Untitled or Not Yet - curated by Louise Shelly - 18th February 2012, 12-6pm
Lucy Clout, Kathryn Elkin, Katherine MacBride and Camilla Wills

Kendall Koppe is pleased to present the second part of Laying down and kissing the love in the mist, curated by artist Laura Aldridge. Part 1 of Laying down and kissing the love in the mist presented The Maid of the Mist, a performance work by American artist Ree Morton made whilst on residency at ArtPark, New York in 1976. Morton worked throughout the 1960s and 70s developing her own critical and artistic trajectory in relation to structuralist theory, surrealist literature and emotional experience. Armed with her own directness of attitude Ree Morton's work offers a distinctive framework to contemporary visual art practices today. Her insistence on the intuitive as part of a rigorous and theoretical approach makes her work relevant to current practices that explore spaces within the subjective, and their possible reflection on embedded behavior and habitual relations of knowledge and power.

Laying down and kissing the love in the mist - Part 2 seeks to develop a creative space where moments within the work of Morton and the invited artists may be expanded and held open as a possibility. Taking this particular work by Morton as a catalyst, Part 2 features newly commissioned art works and performances by Neil Bickerton, Kathryn Elkin, Anna Mayer, Jess Flood-Paddock and Louise Shelley, anchored with an existing piece of work by Caroline Achaintre. This gradual reveal of the exhibition's distinct chapters allows the works featured in the exhibition to sit alongside one another while encouraging a reading of the different relationships at work within each practice. The careful handling of these, often intuitive, relationships is key to the exhibition.

Untitled or Not Yet is an invitation initiated by Louise Shelly that will take place during the last day of the exhibition. A collection of new works will be shown in the gallery during normal opening times, to propose an interruption and expansion of the existing dialogue in the gallery space without the format of an evening event or lecture. The new collection of works will be by Lucy Clout, Kathryn Elkin, Katherine MacBride and Camilla Wills.

About the artists:

Laura Aldridge (b. 1978) lives and works in Glasgow. She graduated from the MFA programme at Glasgow School of Art in 2006. Recent solo exhibitions include Cairn, Pittenweem, Fife; Studio Voltaire, 2011; Cat's are not important, Transmission Gallery, Glasgow (2010); The workshop survived because we love each other, Glasgow Sculpture Studio, Glasgow (2007); and Social Dynamism, Calarts, Los Angeles (2005). She has a forthcoming solo exhibtion at the CCA, Glasgow in February 2012.

Caroline Achaintre (b.1969 Toulouse) lives and works in London. She graduated from the MFA programme at Goldsmiths College in 2003. Recent solo exhibitions include Couleur Locale, Arcade, London; Novelty, Mirko Mayer, Cologne and Visor Visitor, Fake Estate, New York. She has also participated in group exhibitions in LOG, Bergamo; Oechsner Galerie, Nuremberg; Waltraum, Munich; Timothy Taylor Gallery, London and The Saatchi Gallery, London.

Neil Bickerton lives and works in Glasgow

Kathryn Elkin (b.1983) lives and works in London. Her research is most commonly realized through live performance, video or writing as proposed performance. Recent exhibitions include 21st Century program at Chisenhale Gallery, (London, 2011), The Hole, (London, 2011), with Sue Thompkins and Oliver Rees and 'What we Make With Words' at CCA (Glasgow, 2011). Her work has been published by Sternberg Press, 2HB and gnommero.

Anna Mayer lives and works in Los Angeles, where she received her MFA from CalArts in 2007. Moving between collectivity and introspection, Mayer attempts to establish an "outcantatory" practice that uses language, fire, and intention to propose relationships encouraging embodiment and the rejection of discreet, linear modes of reception. In 2010 Mayer had a solo exhibition at Sea and Space Explorations in Los Angeles. Group exhibitions include Night Gallery (CA), Cerritos College Art Gallery (CA), A.I.R. Gallery (NY), Karen Lovegrove (CA), and Klaus Von Nichtssagend (NY). Mayer recently completed her WORD THE WORD series of guided listening sessions at the Experimental Meditation Center of Los Angeles. In addition to her solo practice, Anna works with Jemima Wyman as part of the collaborative duo CamLab. In the first part of 2012, CamLab will stage three events at MOCA in Los Angeles as part of its Engagement Party series.

Ree Morton (b.1936 - 1977) , an artist who is virtually unknown in Europe and has recently been rediscovered by a growing American audience, was of the generation of Eva Hesse and Paul Thek. Not unlike them, she challenged conceptual art and the orthodoxy of 1970s minimalism by fusing elements of historic art, aspects of ritual, and decor with the analytical rigor of a structural mapping of space. Her thinking drew on a great variety of literary, philosophical, and ethnological sources

Jess Flood-Paddock (b.1977, London) lives and works in London. Educated at The Slade and The Royal College of Art. Forthcoming projects include a solo show at Grimm Gallery Amsterdam and Britain Creates 2012 a collaboration with fashion designder Jonathan Saunders.Recent exhibitions include Gangsta's Paradise at the Hayward GalleryProject Space, London (2010, curated by Tom Morton), The Grid System A Regime: SpartacusChetwynd & Jess Flood-Paddock at MCA, Malta (2010), Sacrifice at Swallow Street, London (2010,curated by Sarah McCrory), Phyllida Barlow & Jess Flood-Paddock at the Russian Club, London (2009)and Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2006). She was commissioned to make a short film for Channel 4and Frieze Foundation Film Commissions 2010.

Louise Shelley (b.1982) lives and works in London. Co-editor of 2HB she also works at The Showroom coordinating the Communal Knowledge programme and as Education Curator at Studio Voltaire. She occasionally produces work in collaboration with other artists, these have included; Laura Aldridge, Giles Bailey, Kate Morrell and Kathryn Elkin

Lucy Clout (b. 1980) is a London based artist working in video, sculpture and performance. Recent exhibitions include solo presentations at Limoncello Gallery London, IPS Bournville and group shows at Transmission, Glasgow, CAG, Vancouver and The Henry Art Gallery, Seattle.

Katherine MacBride (b. 1982) is an artist, art therapist and independent researcher based in Glasgow. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2005 and in 2010 gained an MSc Art Psychotherapy from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh. Katherine's practice currently explores the use of art based research alongside social research methods as a means of understanding and representing lived experience. This is currently focused on aspects of role identification and how it relates to ethics and social experience. Katherine will be exhibiting a new collaborative installation with Chris Dyson at the Old Hairdressers, Glasgow in July 2012.

Camilla Wills (b.1985) lives and works in London. Understanding the grammar and layout of literature as an emotional field, she uses her preoccupation with the irrepressible affectivity of literary language to produce performances, installation, video and writing. The work posits the sensory properties of a phenomenological body perceiving the material world coupled with an errant, energetic subjectivity. Recent activities include graduation from the masters programme at the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam (NL), the Spring Residency at Robert Wilson's Watermill Center (US) and co-editing Dauerwelle, a zine for artists' writing, with Jacob Blandy.

The recent future of Scottish Art
Robin Baillie and Neil Mulholland

An energetic discussion recorded over two sessions, Baillie/ Mulholland get to the crux of the issues raised by Craig Richardson's recently published book 'Scottish Art since 1960: Historical Reflections and Contemporary Overviews', which describes its intention as:
"Providing an analysis and including discussion (interviewing artists, curators and critics and accessing non-catalogued personal archives) towards a new chronology, Richardson here examines and proposes a sequence of precisely denoted 'exemplary' works which outlines a self-conscious definition of the interrogative term 'Scottish art'."

The Economy of Abolition/Abolition of the Economy
Neil Gray in exchange with Marina Vishmidt

Through the prism of the 'communisation thesis', Gray/ Vishmidt reflect upon: human capital exploited as investment portfolio in 'The Big Society'; affirmation and negation as political potentialities; the fragmentation of the class relation based on waged work; financialisation and the collapse of social democracy; the politics of reproduction; and the imposition of, resistance to, and potential negation of debt. …Not just a change in the system, but a change of the system; not later on, but now.

"Language is never neutral"
Responses to Variant's interview with Andrew Dixon, CEO of Creative Scotland

"It is difficult to ignore the feeling that we are witnessing the formation of 'legitimate' subjects of art and culture and a re-imagining of what it means to use those very words."
Feeling a heightened imperative following the interview with Andrew Dixon in the spring issue and subsequent developments, Variant has sought to proactively and collectively consider the potential impact of these changes for artistic practice, and, more broadly, for the meaning of art and culture in contemporary Scotland. As a contribution towards such dialogue, Variant has invited a series of responses which here take the form of interview exchanges and written rejoinders.

A critical analysis of the aestheticisation in photography of industrial and Fordist ruins using as a starting point Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre's 'The Ruins of Detroit'. Is it possible to deconstruct the phantasmagoria of industrial ruins through the images that constitute it? Is it enough to just play in the ruins without developing a politics capable of opposing the capitalism that produces them?

Art of Protest : On Testing Cultural Forms of Resistance
Katarzyna Kosmala in conversation with Oliver Ressler

An exchange exploring the role of politically engaged art in protest and human rights issues, reflecting on Ressler's recent films: Socialism Failed, Capitalism is Bankrupt. What Comes Next? and Comuna Under Construction:
"I think art can have a crucial function for an analysis of the current political and economic situation, in expressing criticism, connecting to existing social movements and in thinking about alternative ways about how to organise our societies."

Tales from a River Bank : Bullying, the Arts, and the Production of Museum Space
David Beel

Anne-Marie Quigg's book 'Bullying in the Arts: Vocation, Exploitation and Abuse of Power', reveals for Beel a very different perspective from the romanticised image of 'creative' work with regard to some of the problems faced by individuals negotiating labour practices in the arts, culture and heritage. The issues Quigg brings to the fore are a timely intervention for Beel - faced with institutional silence they may help elucidate a recent internal investigation into bullying and harassment within the curatorial processes of the recently completed Riverside Museum in Glasgow, raising wider questions about the nature of 'outsourced' municipal cultural governance.

Disposable Women, Not Natasha, and the Economics and Politics of Sex Trafficking
Roberta McGrath

A cogent review of the exhibition and online book 'Not Natasha', which began as a way for Dana Popa to tell the stories of young girls from Moldova sex trafficked across Europe. Popa was then commissioned by the London-based human rights and photography organisation Autograph to develop this work, which was subsequently exhibited in Dublin, augmenting public policy.
"Popa begins her story: At the end of the road as the daylight dims, women are brought and here, and just beyond the middle-class apartments, sex is bought; bodies are sold. Her point is clear. At the end of many streets - just around a corner, just beyond where we care to look - the same story is repeated. We choose, she says, not to look; not to see; and consequently not to think of who is there."

Anarchism & Sexuality
Tracey McLennan, Gordon Asher in exchange with Jamie Heckert

Heckert is a founding member of the Anarchist Studies Network and the editor of two collections of perspectives on anarchism and sexuality. Starting from the most recent collection of "passionate, provocative papers that incite the reader to recognise the relevance of anarchist ideas to queer and feminist sexual politics", McLennan/ Asher engage Heckert in dialogue concerning making these queerly anarchist contributions to social justice literature, policy and practice.

Katrina Palmer, Artist Talk - Wednesday 14 December

2011-12-13T11:17:00.001Z

Katrina Palmer - Artist talk
EMBASSY PDP Session 7

Hunter Lecture Theatre
Wednesday 14 December, 1.30pm

Katrina Palmer is an artist and writer. Palmer's texts feature objects in the imagination
and amidst the neurosis, paranoia and social/sexual dynamics of art spaces and the everyday.
Ordinary things appear alongside discourse and sculpture (the subject in language and the
object in action).

The work is disseminated through publications, readings and aspects of
installation. Recent work includes the book, The Dark Object, published by Book Works in 2010.

Her talk will cover her development whilst at art college, the difficulty of combining language and
sculpture, and include a reading.

Free. All welcome.

LAYING DOWN AND KISSING THE LOVE IN THE MIST
Part 1 - Ree Morton
15th December - 14th January 2012

Preview: Thursday 15th December 7-9 pm - Join us for drinks and mince pies
Gallery will be closed for the holidays between 24th Dec - 7th January 2012

I want to make a presentation that draws on the American artist Ree Morton, whose work and writings about her work I have been invested in over the last several years. Fragments of her writings and her emotionally changing and critically honest relationship to her work have held something of me in them at times. She makes space within the work for her relationship to others and her relationship to places within language to unfold, but with a certain hard fought ease or lightness. At the same time the work does not explain itself away, you have to come to it. These are things I admire.

Kendall Koppe is pleased to present Laying down and kissing the love in the mist , part 1 & 2 . The exhibition takes the performance work made by American artist Ree Morton in 1976 as its catalyst. Morton worked throughout the 1960s and 70s developing her own critical and artistic trajectory in relation to structuralist theory, surrealist literature and emotional experience. Armed with her own directness of attitude Ree Morton's work offers a distinctive framework to contemporary visual art practices today. Her insistence on the intuitive as part of a rigorous and theoretical approach makes her work relevant to current practices that explore spaces within the subjective, and their possible reflection on embedded behavior and habitual relations of knowledge and power.

The exhibition curated by artist Laura Aldridge seeks to develop a creative space where moments within the work of Morton and the participating artists may be expanded and held open as a possibility. Laying down and kissing the love in the mist will take place in two parts. The first presents the documentation of Morton's The Maid of the Mist performance at ArtPark , New York with an exhibition design by Laura Aldridge. Part 2, opening on the 20th of January will feature newly commissioned art works and performance by Neil Bickerton, Kathryn Elkin, Anna Mayer, Jess Flood-Paddock and Louise Shelley, anchored by an existing piece by Caroline Achaintre. This gradual reveal of the exhibition's distinct chapters will allow these works to sit alongside one another while encouraging a reading of the different relationships at work within each practice. The careful handling of these, often intuitive, relationships is key to the exhibition.

REMINDER: a new agency for the visual arts in Scotland?

The VAGA Scotland Development Group has been working, over the last nine months or so, to consider how best to support the visual arts sector in Scotland. Following a 'mail out' over the summer which resulted in positive support for an independent visual arts agency in Scotland, the Development Group is proposing to set up a new organisation. Come along to this networking event to hear about the objectives of the new agency, contribute to the plans and then join us for a drink afterwards: City Art Centre, Edinburgh; Tuesday 13th December 5.30-7.00pm BOOK NOW directly to: ben@vaga.co.uk<mailto:ben@vaga.co.uk>

Castles of Illusion

Laurence Figgis
Brin Frost
Zoe Williams

Intermedia Gallery, The CCA:, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow G2 3JD

Private View: Friday 2 December 6-9pm
Saturday 3 December - Saturday 17 December 2011
12:00pm - 6:00pm: FREE

An exhibition of new work by Laurence Figgis, Brin Frost and Zoe Williams. The artists have in-common an interest in the creation of internalised worlds, drawing on aspects of the surreal, the uncanny, the precious and the abject, and mobilising a diverse range of mediums to explore these themes including ornamental sculpture, collage and film. The objects and two-dimensional works on show in this exhibition appear on first glance to be drawn from a rich concoction of soap-opera, luxury commodity and primal myth. However on closer inspection, these isolated signifiers, divorced from their original context, often reveal darker, more disturbing undertones.

Gi Festival 2012 Programme Launched

2012 Festival Programme Announced
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of the UK's boldest visual arts events, the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art returns in April 2012, bringing together exhibitions by the best international and local artists, from Turner Prize winners to the most exciting, emerging talent. The Festival builds on the successes of previous years, showcasing work by more than 130 artists in over 50 of Glasgow's best permanent and temporary exhibition venues across the length and breadth of the city.

The 18-day Festival programme includes many newly-commissioned works, including several that draw on a range of other disciplines, including dance, film, music, performance and theatre.

Under the continued Directorship of Katrina Brown, this year GI focuses more on the real, the physical and the very tangible, rather than the digital or virtual, with an emphasis on the live experience. From strong sculptural presentations by Karla Black <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoD-2U9-x5cEXNKgIobHPuXWYJzusEyPwShfXmKpgZqWtqF7x0JcuDXjffuAkVdJA5GTuw6n8BMIP9POgMUoU01XecfqdEdm5Mlxmk_QPXeNGay0TRJCKR2PKhVv8PVw_oTUgA9CDTsqjS5UjY3FwsMInoDm-TClrUwcMSfAcf17ARa3JpiLEPQJ> and Nairy Baghramian<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoCYmuJLUyBqTzqC330KXAyvERPtONMdgOZ3PS1bf24oKxE1YqbdhzOstUWl5C645wMGCsh1iISc110Vrz5Vfl_bWLqJZgJBvgdTfH2SNVht6UVux2zm1TQJvc6Ey4QJH0N_sL5AAxcIWBe9pp4ViOb9YWcs2varKa5LTzKsDYhZ1lbX1YGSImf0fL8EgKE5V8nN_zBI6MudQm26tY5UyoRq>, who each deploy distinctive materials to potent effect, to two ambitious 'performed installations' by Graham Fagen & Graham Eatough<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoB-WAKKGB3Nb7u-Lng99rjZrFscCchQdF8QWW8W6VJTEfo63UhfD-2hgUMoI67XwMmL2BVPnVSnylBgYdage1-lITrB5BzUjg0oNkrvm2EIWBPRRqfzqBc8KV7hzx5oliZC3XpMfZGxtayb1xv4FLnag1LyHKkQ9xn47KqFNnJywPu5RgLbkmLo> and Kelly Nipper<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoAn-_QjBRNiHIS6lPdhHPtKE7qL7nyM9beBvqO-rM1ZJ_raXcSXw86GxR6ejemMuI5Q-F--eGw-b55RKF0VEWU79NbONjUkS5MdhjARLKYTDEi_gfUuFZGTC35IvdKJfam8LXLxY6Z6CZi0_pcQ96Ft2L2a5Q1tvBQznGmjtnjXLY2UHiJreEoMckpM7QjuUuaoVHDbXjAakQ==> at Tramway, and 'handleable' new works by artists Corin Sworn, Mary Redmond, Camilla Low and Chris Johanson<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoA_mDGGxhUevOm5ZB_1j_1gNu-T8eGFiLT5CW5pUI8-Q-smstFrvQr4d6Q4VMwUrDTmJBrLyy60mq5ZJN-r2jIVFe1K8hqu4dlUwrIll0c9yqtHnqXa9lMai1SXl2-QJc-kyqX2f8B4TdtIHn-s_0te_vlO72n9vY2fJpeflE3r0xltTY6uaWjH> for 'Dialogue of Hands', many of the exhibitions and projects offer direct and very immediate encounters.

Time spent in and with this work is real, not edited or accelerated. This sense of real time is reflected back at us through the very tangible sense of the time and labour involved in the remarkable works of Richard Wright<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoArK6LWQdfs3WmRg1UFCkaCIEAt2G4g5nIUrUcTPpXfzS397RIWZpRx9udzn0JhduLln2hBmxXk0vWvmrrgQV8XteGrcU-ccDURIklDhzpujrCKon7lsbXUUEHlQ1H97yYon15UGyiVf42YeP_hEbpzO_3EwsbRkZSBaWAaNEk5_BcqNZGMEhCoxxgdHniICbsFdHA2P5wcCg==>, shown in the grand surroundings of Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum. While the focus on our actual experience of an artwork is amplified in Transmission's exhibition 'Six Works of Art For your Interpretation', in which the participating artists remain anonymous.

There are dozens of exhibitions and events, as well as a distinct strand of public or outdoor works, with new commissions including a permanent work by Alex Frost<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoD63afEMfYADzDLG3iHnhVJ0UjTpjC47-mZkB3NaR4kAkfEoRrhaf8eulQY5E5ujYDIX-bxpIe9rPKHz30Q_qmOnk5IBwaHEPPUMpJxzM4rFWCRTWlwj3zlUx7CyfLSTzhaGrW_CHmv4gcCoOCIIOe1lRcQHDOhEZ4cjqkuUQH40eK9j9_kVeJV5cij4D7hAOs=> for Platform, Easterhouse.

As ever, GI is only possible with the commitment of the many organisations and artists based in the city year-round with whom we collaborate to make this programme: we all hope you enjoy it and look forward to seeing you in April 2012.

The Festival is made possible as a result of the commitment and partnerships between the visual arts network and venues within the city and funding partnerships with Glasgow Life, Creative Scotland, Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, EventScotland and Scottish Enterprise Glasgow.

Newly commissioned work by Teresa Margolles to be premiered at 2012 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art

2011-11-15T11:14:00.001Z

Media Release

Newly commissioned work by Teresa Margolles
to be premiered at 2012 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art

Teresa Margolles is creating new work responding to the recent riots in English cities as part of a Production Residency at the Glasgow Sculpture Studios (GSS). The Mexican artist, whose visceral installation was one of the most striking and emotive pieces at the 2009 Venice Biennale, was developing work focusing on a recovered photographic archive of over 4,000 images of Ciudad Juárez from the 70s and 80s, when events overtook her.

Margolles travelled to London to document the aftermath of the riots both in photographic form and through the collection of debris. Arriving back in Glasgow she has developed a number of new works including performative actions in public spaces in Glasgow and Edinburgh using newspaper headlines that document media and public responses to the riots.

This new work, along with her research into the historic Luis Alvarado photographs of a town that today is infamous as the one of the murder capitals of the world reflects on the idea that all places have a story of suffering etched into their past. It will form the first exhibition in Glasgow Sculpture Studios new premises in The Whisky Bond at Spiers Locks shown as part of the 2012 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art.

"The impact of Margolles' work still haunts me today, years after encountering it at the 2009 Venice Biennale. She presented new work, entitled 'What Else Could We Talk About?' which included an action that took place, daily, where the pavilion floors where being mopped with a mixture of water and blood from murdered people in Mexico."
Amy Sales

Margolles' GSS Production Residency has been supported by Creative Scotland and the Henry Moore Foundation and with a Wellcome Trust Arts Award.

Since the inauguration of the Production Residency programme GSS have invited Beagles & Ramsay (2008-09) Siobhán Hapaska (2009-10) Jimmie Durham (2010) and Christine Borland (2010-11), and co-commissioned new work with a wide range of national and international partners and funders including Creative Scotland, Henry Moore Foundation, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art. This programme is curated by Amy Sales, Head of Programme.

Notes for Editors

Teresa Margolles
"With a minimalist artistic vocabulary, executed in highly emotional and ethically charged materials,Teresa Margolles manages to sharpen her view of death and conditions in Mexico with radical compression and concentration."
Rein Wolfs

International artist, Teresa Margolles (b. 1963 Culiacán, Mexico) lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico. For the next three-months Margolles will live and work in Glasgow, Scotland to undertake the next Glasgow Sculpture Studios Production Residency, funded by Creative Scotland, Henry Moore Foundation and The Wellcome Trust.

Margolles studied art and communication sciences at the National University of Mexico followed by a diploma in forensic medicine. She is one of the founders of the group SEMEFO (Servicio Médico Forense/Forensic Medicine Service). Recent solo exhibitions include Frontera at Kunsthalle Fridericianum in Kassel and Museion Bolzano 2011,Los Herederos, Peter Kilchmann Zurich 2009, and En Lugar de los Hechos - Anstelle der Tatsachen Kunsthalle Krems 2008, 127 cuerpos, Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen Dusseldorf 2006, Caída Libre/Chute libre Frac Lorraine, Metz 2005, Muerte sin fin, Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt Main 2004 and The Shroud, Kunsthalle Wien Vienna 2003. Margolles has presented work at Manifesta7 Bolzano 2008, the Liverpool Biennale 2006, the Prague Biennale 2005 and 2003 and the Gwangju Biennale 2004. In 2009 she represented Mexico at the 53rd Venice Biennale presenting What Else Could We Talk About?

Since belonging to the group SEMEFO, whose name is derived from the forensic medical service, Margolles has chosen as her atelier, first the morgue and the dissecting room, and more recently, the violence-ridden streets of Mexico. These are places of death but also places which bear witness to social unrest. Margolles works not so much directly with the remains of bodies but rather with the traces of life, with shrouds, burial and memory, and with the way a violent act shatters human networks and affects them in various levels.

Glasgow Sculpture Studios is "a unique centre for research, production, presentation and the dissemination of contemporary sculptural practices,"

Founded in 1988, Glasgow Sculpture Studios (GSS) has played a key role in the development of the artistic community, which has put Glasgow on the international map. Offering studio space for residents and production facilities for artists from Glasgow and beyond, GSS has supported the creation of work seen in exhibitions across the globe. Among the current 50+ studio holders are Turner prize nominee, Nathan Coley, Alex Frost, David Shrigley, Calum Stirling, Smith/Stewart, Stephen Hurrel, and many of the artists who have represented Scotland at the prestigious Venice Art Biennale including Claire Barclay.

The Public Programme is curated by Amy Sales to reflect the diverse range of approaches to contemporary sculpture and Glasgow as a centre for the production and exhibition of internationally significant visual art.

Queens Park Railway Club are delighted to announce their inaugural exhibition. As part of QPRCs curatorial residency with program Gregor Johnstone and Henry Coombes.

Art Destroyed The World And It Won't Stop There

Coombes and Johnstone have spent the last two years collaborating on an iPhone app that would allow the smart phone to measure loneliness. It works by wiping the phone through your arse crevice to take measurements of bum-hole acidity. As personal hygiene declines following long periods of isolation the levels of acidity correlates perfectly to loneliness. The app was a total failure so they decided to make a film about the horror and futility of making art.

Mark Inglis' Talk

Between losing his legs at 23-years-old due to frostbite and then going on to be the only double amputee to have stood on the roof of the world, the summit of Mount Everest, Mark Inglis has carved out careers as a scientist, a world recognised winemaker, sportsman, trekking guide and a leading international motivator. Visit his website: www.markinglis.co.nz<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=53090140&msgid=571818&act=B4SY&c=479857&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.markinglis.co.nz>

________________________________

Norma D. Hunter's Walk

As part of Mark Inglis' visit to Huntly, Artist Norma D. Hunter will be creating a Huntly Wish Tree. From a Clootie Well in Munlochy, Black Isle, Norma will collect water and bring it home to Huntly by foot. Her pilgrimmage through Invernessshire and Moray to Huntly will take a week. On the last walk between Keith and Huntly Mark Inglis will accompany her.

There is a long standing tradition of Clootie Wells in Scotland. The waters of the wells are believed to be very beneficial to health. By dipping a strip of clothing from an afflicted person in the waters of the well and hanging them on a nearby tree the illness is supposed to leave the person as the material deteriorates. Norma D. Hunter will create a wish tree in the Meadow woods of Huntly blessed with the waters of the Clootie Well.

Now, every time I press down on one of the numbers on the keyboard I want you to do the same with that. I want you to put it up on the screen in front of me."
Excerpt from transcript of Currall's Word Processing, 1995

As part of 'The Event'<http://rhubaba.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1451e9af82bc98b746394f078&id=e2b5807e1e&e=19377f0529> - a forum for contemporary art held in Birmingham - Rhubaba have been invited by The Lombard Method<http://rhubaba.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=1451e9af82bc98b746394f078&id=3752bd2aa3&e=19377f0529> to present an exhibition in their building alongside several other contemporary arts organisations from around the UK.

[http://www.rhubaba.org/files/poster.jpg]

Rhubaba will present a small selection of video works by Glasgow-based artist Alan Currall. Taking a chronological selection of 4 of Currall's single-channel video works produced between 1995 and 2004, this solo presentation aims to initiate a discussion between Rhubaba and Currall around a new work commissioned for their gallery space next year.

Born Stoke on Trent, 1964, Currall has exhibited widely in group and solo shows at galleries including the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow, Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, Hayward Gallery, London, Malmö Konsthall, Malmö and Stills Gallery, Edinburgh. In 2002 he exhibited at the Jerwood Gallery as part of the Artist Platform series and was nominated for the Beck's Futures Prize in 2003. He is a part-time lecturer on Sculpture and Environmental Art at Glasgow School of Art and also a visiting lecturer in Intermedia at Edinburgh College of Art.

Alongside Currall's works, Rhubaba have collected a small library of publications and printed-material produced over it's first two years of operation.

OCTOBER WORKSHOP @ TRANSMISSION - invitation to participate... towards understanding our conditions of 'doing'

2011-10-12T22:56:00.000+01:00

OCTOBER WORKSHOP @ TRANSMISSION

invitation to participate

towards understanding our conditions of 'doing'

11am - 4pm
Saturday 15th October

Reforms of cultural provision may be long overdue, but Creative Scotland has wider-reaching implications than the supersession of previous funding institutions: Scottish Screen, Scottish Arts Council. It represents a fundamental change of a key aspect of democratic society with significant implications for the many ways in which knowledge is produced and communicated in Scotland.

Creative Scotland is an entrepreneurial re-orientation of public acts of communication formed from a triangulation of policy geared towards "single purpose government" (the Scottish government's own description) converging on "economic growth", seeing culture subsumed under the banner of "adding value".

What are the implications :
- for a diversity of cultural expression (which include the diversity of political expression) as democratic right;
- for artist-run groups' autonomy through support for freedom of association and communication so as to collectively organise and 'do'?

In collaboration with Transmission, this workshop facilitated by Variant / The Strickland Distribution will explore wider issues arising from the summer workshop - 'From Funding to Franchise' - for collective self-institutional doings (artist-run, artist-led, self-organised) with their specific lexicons of practice.

We ended previously, asking: What are the rallying points for self knowledge?

This workshop is an opportunity for artists' groups to try to get to grips with the dramatic shifts taking place in the public re-orientation of culture through, but not confined to, Creative Scotland.

It seems to us important that individuals affiliated with artist-run and autonomous groups have an awareness of what might be taking place so as to more fully comprehend and, if wished, engage in the review process of Creative Scotland's propositions.

We meet to collectively better understand our own conditions of practice.

Hopeful of your involvement.

Best wishes,
Variant editorial group

Please pass on this invitation to anyone you feel it concerns - details of the day can also be found at:

<http://www.variant.org.uk/events/transoct/TransOct.html>http://www.variant.org.uk/events/transoct/TransOct.html

.....

Invitation to participate from Transmission:

We are feeling an increasing imperative to try to really understand the dramatic shifts that appear to be taking place in public funding in this country through Creative Scotland. Simply through picking up on the sound bite language that is being circulated and the modelling of a business strategy approach to arts funding, there would seem to be not only a lack of awareness of the principles on which public support for cultural diversity is based but also a thoroughly ideological agenda being written into the future of funding for the arts.

At the different levels at which they are funded, galleries and arts organisations seem to be meeting and sharing information about what is happening. It seems, to us really important that individuals affiliated with artist-run and autonomous groups also have an awareness of what might be taking place. Obviously not all artist-run groups receive direct funding or may even want to receive funding, but we are increasingly thinking of the necessity of a collective understanding of the way the landscape may be being re-written. This may affect artists directly or indirectly through a dismantling of the current infrastructure, through the removal of current funding, or the possibility of funding at some later point. Perhaps more than this, these potential changes make both the fragility and decisiveness of what is constructed through cultural funding very clear.

We think those affiliated with artist-run activity may have a different perspective on how and why to approach what is happening than other larger funded institutions. For example, in the consideration and understanding of 'value'. For all the possible gloom of the situation we are hopeful to approach this also as an opportunity to collectively consider what we really think and what we really want, and all the differences we positively hold. To see if there is a will to take this forward with a considered and genuinely creative momentum.

With all this in mind we would very much like to invite you to a workshop and discussion meeting next Saturday 15th October. We hosted a workshop in July From Funding to Franchise, facilitated by Variant and The Strickland Distribution, as a first attempt to engage with what is happening. The workshop next Saturday will be structured along similar lines of presentations about key concerns and small discussion groups in response, but also with time for a general discussion about everything and how and if we might take things forward.

Please see a rough schedule [ at: <http://www.transmissiongallery.org> http://www.transmissiongallery.org ]

Hopeful of your involvement.

Best wishes

You and your friends and family are invited to a series of exciting events next week (17 - 21 Oct) for

A CUT A SCRATCH A SCORE: a comic opera in three parts

A major new performance and exhibition created by two rising stars of the British art scene David Barnett, Sam Belinfante and the acclaimed artist Bruce McLean, commissioned by the Cooper Gallery, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design. These three artists have been collaborating over the last three years towards larger scale cross disciplinary projects and we are very pleased to be involved in the creation of their most ambitious project to date.

A CUT A SCRATCH A SCORE will also feature the renowned Mezzo-soprano Lore Lixenberg and performance artist Adeline Bourret with 60 musicians from three local choirs and the Dundee Drum Academy.

A CUT A SCRATCH A SCORE: a comic opera in three parts is a distinctive new performance and exhibition in three different public spaces in Dundee. Combining opera, comedy, drawings, sculpture and moving images, this daring work will act as a stage for the city and its people, upon which the comedies of contemporary life will strut, turn and take a bow.

One Night Stand programme - call to tender

2011-10-12T18:56:00.001+01:00

One Night Stand
at The Telfer Gallery

[http://gallery.mailchimp.com/c4474a01a7e4ee0864bc9222f/images/ONS_image_poster.jpg]
One Night Stand aims to question the established modes of arts presentation by exploring the given parameters of the exhibition format, and how as a social and cultural index it comes to condition and shape the form of contemporary artistic and creative practices. By focusing on the processes and terms of production within a critical framework, the aim of the two-week programme is to come to a deeper understanding of how and why we create work under the administration of a deeply embedded 'exhibition complex'. Consequently, questions regarding the (social) exchange value of creative practices would be addressed given the analysis of the exhibition as a situation - specifically one where pre-determined expectations and intentions produce a particular type of interaction.

The programme will be based upon a highly discursive framework, which will include a public discussion.
Following a further week of production, participating artists will have the opportunity to critically respond by working with and against the limitations of the opening night and exhibition's terms of engagement.

To apply as an artist, to register interest in participating in the discussion event, or to find out more, email: danesutherland{{{{at}}}}}hotmail{{{{dot}}}}co{{{{{dot}}}}}uk<mailto:danesutherland@hotmail.co.uk>

'The Obsidian Isle' is a fictional island, on which exist the lost and destroyed buildings and places of one country. It plays with wider ideas of collective history, national identity, landscape, tourism, and the distortion of memories, through the prism of the particularities of Scotland. From structures that fell into dereliction after the Highland Clearances, buildings destroyed during the Second World War, places torn down to make way for new developments, or structures that collapsed due to poor construction, the island is a place where visitors are invited to remember or possibly to collectively 'forget'. 'The Obsidian Isle' questions what is kept, what remains, what falls into ruin or is destroyed, what persists and how these can be altered by memories, myth or competing histories.

'The Obsidian Isle' is an installation of ten large-format photographic c-type prints of views which connect up to form a panoramic vista of the island; a series of small photographic prints which play with ideas of sensory abstraction and altered memories, developed by the artist through a series of workshops and events, and a series of small sculptural objects. The ten large-format photographs are constructed from found images, three-dimensional elements and medium-format photographs taken by the artist, which are re-made as mise-en-scenes of the island which are then photographed in the studio.

Developed in partnership with Ricefield and includes research carried out at the Glasgow Project Room (Trongate 103) in April 2010. The exhibition has been printed at Street Level and produced in partnership with Peacock Visual Arts, Aberdeen.

Collective Gallery Press Release - New Work Scotland Programme 2011

2011-10-07T19:17:00.000+01:00

New Work Scotland Programme 2011
Gordon Schmidt | Rhianna Turnbull | Amelia Bywater & Christian Newby
8 October - 6 November

Collective's New Work Scotland Programme sets out to identify and support a new group of creative practitioners every year, reflecting current movements in visual art in Scotland. As NWSP enters its twelfth year, and in this current climate, Collective feels it is even more important that this programme continues to support and challenge emerging artists, writers and curators at a pivotal stage in their career.
Each consecutive New Work Scotland Programme is informed by feedback from the previous years to develop and refine the programme year on year. This year Collective broadened the application criteria, and now encourage artists who can be up to six years out of art school to apply. In addition we are working with Tramway, Glasgow, to support one NWSP artist to have a solo exhibition. This seedbed approach to change offers a chance to test each new development and to continue to work towards the goal of offering the best opportunity for creative and professional development at an emergent level in Scotland, whilst continuing to work with many other partners and networks adapt and enlarge the programme.

Mining the Horizon is the title given to New Work Scotland Programme 2011. The title was designed to give a more coherent context for the work within the programme and to offer applicants and selectors, a frame by which to explore the various possibilities offered by the programme. This title reflected our proposition to this year's applicants - to think of themselves as active agents within a framework and to consider themselves as a cohort, a team acting within that structure. Their proposition: to probe our collective horizons, through research, practice and presentation.

The New Work Scotland Programme 2011 selection panel changes each year, and this year it included Steven Cairns, Ian White and Torsten Lauschmann, to whom Collective are extremely grateful for all their insights and commitment. Collective made this year a transitional year marking a new, more integrated approach. Collective believe that in order to give practitioners the best chance of a developed outcome we need to invest more in their research and development.

Alongside the introduction of the title we have offered more space for group dialogue, demanding more from the participants, but offering them more in return. For the first time, all of the artists were invited on a 'retreat' weekend at Hospitalfield House, Arbroath.

Additionally, to reflect this shift, the residency Collective run with Studio Voltaire in London, moved from a solo opportunity to involving all practitioners in a series of collaborative residencies, resulting in greater opportunities as well as enabling stronger connections between peers within the programme, providing
time for the development of shared concerns.

The New Work Scotland Programme publication has also evolved and this new, more substantial annual gives a space and context for artists' pages, which allow for an alternative encounter with (or sideways glance at) the work of those involved in NWSP 2011. A critical/interpretive text will be commissioned to accompany each exhibition (involving the work of at least three of the practitioners) acting as important documents to the projects.

Artists' Biographies (full biographies are available upon request)

Gordon Schmidt
Gordon Schmidt studied Sculpture at the Emily Carr Institute, Vancouver and was an exchange student in the Environmental Art Department at Glasgow School of Art.

Rhianna Turnbull
Rhianna Turnbull graduated in 2006 from Painting and Printmaking at Glasgow School of Art. Working across collage, video, drawing and painting her work is concerned with lifestyle and identity.

Amelia Bywater and Christian Newby
Amelia Bywater and Christian Newby both graduated from the MFA programme at Glasgow School of Art in 2009. Their collaborative project integrates collage, photography, sculptural installation and publications. Informing their joint practice is a consideration to how objects and images can be re-appropriated and reinterpreted as a means of investigating the interference, translation and stability of the image and its relationship to history, nostalgia, narrative and resolution.

Florrie James
Florrie James graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2010. Her work comments on cultural history and art history: existence, failure and continuation, explored through the medium of appropriated design, writing, painting and film-making.

Oliver Braid
Oliver Braid graduated from Glasgow School of Art MFA in 2010. Oliver describes his practice as: "exploring strategies with which work can be made and received. I often work with other individuals, and use collaboration as a way to challenge the conventional understandings of the procedures governing the making and reception of art, and search for an alternative." Taking inspiration from contemporary cultural sources from Big Brother to Harry Potter, Oliver offers a new lens with which to read contemporary art practice and its theories.

Joey Villemont
Joey Villemont graduated from Glasgow School of Art MFA this year. Working in sculpture, installation and film he explores elemental links between counter-culture and the prehistoric or primal. Through interweaving the past with popular culture Joey's work is concerned with the remaking of histories, proposing historical narratives which have never existed.

Ash Reid
Ash Reid graduated from MA Fine Art from Edinburgh College of Art in 2007. Working in collage, film, drawing and sound her practice explores memory, the nature of how it is formed and ways in which it can be revisited to survey effects of current cultural conditions. Particularly interested in the hypnagogic state as an entry point for this enquiry, her work forms fleeting situations that discombobulate past happenings into a series of punctuated actions.

Jack McConville
Jack McConville graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2008 and works primarily in painting, creating images in open dialogue with art history and informed by contemporary cultural imagery. Within his works, the surface shifts between abstraction and figuration; objects and figures are rendered as graphic signs stripped of either expressive or descriptive intentions. Representational systems employed by Modernism are juxtaposed with those of 80's video games, in the examination of the continual shifting between the sign, the signified and the gap that separates them.

________________________________

"Metaphor is one of thought's most essential tools. It illuminates what would otherwise be totally obscure. But the illumination is sometimes so bright that it dazzles instead of revealing"
-Alasdair Gray, Lanark

In the canon of art history, artists are seen to epitomise their own era; led by decree, circumstance or their desire to understand and illustrate the age that they live in.
The Profane Myth presents artwork by Adam Chodzko, Steven Claydon, Alasdair Gray, Bradley Pitts and Damien Roach which re-examines the validity and success of Western tenet.
These works expose innadequicies within the systems of logic that we use to perceive the world around us while proposing alternative relationships between established value and belief systems.

Adam Chodzko distills the potential of collective imagination. By working with peripheral communities while alluding to traditional legend he distills the convention, hierarchy and lineage of mythology.

Steven Claydon challenges the agendas behind history's interpretation - the subjective and linear principles that are used to govern our understanding of it through it's documentation and our reading of it through education. In his work Claydon represents history in this way and looks to the power held by fictional narritive to embue an object with meaning and value.

Alasdair Gray carries a tradition from artists who have inspired him - including William Blake and Aubrey Beardsley - using art and writing combined to create an analogy wherein it is possible to visualise complex aspects of human nature and modern society. Throughout Alasdair Gray's remarkable career as a writer and artist he has shaped an uncompromising view on the very nature of these occupations. His work takes its form and inspiration from those things which shape his own understanding of the world: the city he lives in, the people around him and his education through literature; which aids the understanding of both these things.

Bradley Pitts pursues the transient experience and demonstrates a first-hand knowledge of emptiness itself. Describing his work as a form of ontological research in which the "empty", and therefore the "real", are at stake. Subverting the positivist values of his working methods, he restores science and technology to a place where they can be used to investigate philosophical questions and subjective realities.

Damien Roach challenges the systems of interpretation and value which we use to understand the world around us; transparently presenting artifice in order to show the fallibility of expression and interpretation through visual, written and audible record. Illustrating the close proximity between fact and myth Roach illuminates the frequent trade-off between these two principles and acknowledges the foundations of understanding; a guided vision interpreted through simulation.

The team decamped to Edinburgh for a week of Research and Development on Arthur's Seat in August. Over 100 runners from the Central Belt volunteered their time and leg-power to test the choreographed routes as well as 15 prototype light suits. The results were stunning!

We're looking for 5,000 runners to illuminate the hillside over three weeks next August – full details, including how to register, will be available from the end of October. There will be many other opportunities to take part in rehearsals and kits tests in the coming months so please sign up at www.speedoflight2012.org.uk<http://nva.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=65437851dded736b04c964429&id=1ac3158905&e=93699841ee>.

The full-colour publication follows NVA's 2010 contribution to Venice Architecture Biennale, charting the story of Kilmahew/St Peter's and our intentions for its future development, with lively contributions from academics, artists, writers, architects and landscape architects. It raises questions about how we deal with history and heritage, conservation and preservation, ownership and decision making about such sites.

KEITH INGHAM

PHYSICAL GRAFFITI:
Glasgow Landscapes 70s & 10s

6th - 29th October 2011
Trongate 103 Foyer
Glasgow G1 5HD

Tuesday- Saturday 10am - 5pm
Sunday 12 - 5pm
Admission: Free

These photographs by Keith Ingham span the time from his first few years in Glasgow to the present. They form two groups of landscapes: one of images made in the 1970s and the other made in the last two years. In the time between much has changed. The 1970s were a difficult decade of inflation and industrial strife across the UK, during which Glasgow strove to hang on the last remnants of its once proud industrial heritage. The city had to wait until the 1980s to realise that it was indeed "miles better". It is ironic that after an intervening period of prosperity and growth we are perhaps moving into another turbulent decade.

The axioms and mores of the visual arts have shifted too. While the early images were made simply to document places in Glasgow, the later group are more reflective and intuitive, even to some degree conceptual in their choice of subject. Inevitably, the photographer has also changed. At a new stage of life, perspectives and horizons have adjusted and the approach becomes more contemplative. These are personal landscapes.

Born and raised in England, Keith Ingham moved to Glasgow, Scotland in the early 1970s after a period in Canada. He also worked in Sweden for a year. Shortly after arriving in Glasgow he joined a group active in social documentary photography and spent several years recording changes in the physical and social structure of the city. In the last decade he has embraced digital photography and wrestled with the associated challenge of colour in his images.

His work has been exhibited widely in Scotland and in several European cities, and is in the Scottish National Photography Archive and the City of Glasgow collection. He continues to exhibit, most recently in Lithuania in September 2011.

This exhibition compliments "The Glesga That I Used to Know. 70s Glasgow: Through the Lens" to which Keith Ingham also contributes. Scotland Street School Museum, 225 Scotland Street, Glasgow G4 0RH.
Tel: 0141 287 0500. Until January 8th, 2012.

> Andro Semeiko extends a series of comic paintings & painterly blobs as a theatrical Mise-en-scène. The largest of the work findings its form as a triptych that nods to the 18th century work of Giovanni Battista Piranesi and winks to the architectural nuances of SWG3 while pointing a jocular finger at pan historical, chauvinistic attitudes toward technology and culture.

> After using the gallery as a film studio environment, Calum Stirling offers a semblance of plywood flats which allude to French interior design from the 1920's. Working with Barry Burns & Ewan Hunter, Stirling has directed a new artist video for two characters, set and props filmed during install. This features alongside various new and incidental works that stem from the artists research pursuits in Pochoir illustration technique, Technicolor stage design and the absurd super yachts of the art collecting elite to name but a few.

AHM
STATE OF PLAY: ART AND CULTURE IN SCOTLAND TODAY

AHM's third and final State of Play: Art and Culture in Scotland Today symposium will bring together the main themes of previous symposia in a debate about the role of art and culture in shaping Scotland's future. A key element of the day will be the spoken delivery of one-minute artist manifestos where artists have the opportunity to give voice to their concerns and ambitions about where they feel visual art stands today and what the future might hold.

Speakers are Gerry Hassan, a leading writer and critic on culture and politics, Jenny Brownrigg Exhibition Director The Glasgow School of Art, artist Ross Sinclair and Jean Urquhart MSP. Gerry Hassan, the main speaker, has consistently argued the case for cultural change and transformation "It is time to start living dangerously and take risks. To think and act beyond tribes and labels. Instead, we need to develop new forms of engagement, discussion and debate, developing spaces, forums and places which aid this. This is time for humility, courage and listening, for trying a different kind of politics. It is time to start living, breathing and taking part in the new Scotland."

The Symposium will take place this Saturday, 1 October, at Dundee Contemporary Arts.

Time: 11:00 - 16:00

Price: £10.00/£5.00

For more information and to book please see this link: <http://dundee.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bec5c83c5721068bccd072abe&id=ec22e37051&e=32a6ecbb2f> http://www.dca.org.uk/whats-on/talks-and-events/state-of-play-art-and-culture-in-scotland-today.html

At the time they were the tallest blocks in Europe and the first to be built in Glasgow using steel frame construction.

Summer Issue Launch /// Friday 24 June /// Edinburgh, Superclub!

2011-06-22T08:59:00.001+01:00

Come join us for our Summer Issue Launch /// Friday 24 June /// Edinburgh, Superclub!

Friday 24th June 7pm. Got that? Good. Because that's when Yuck 'n Yum will be heading out of town. See, we've met these nice people at top Edinburgh art venue Superclub and they'll be hosting our summer 2011 launch. We're presenting our hot-off-the-press-ink-barely-dry brand new issue, and there'll be the usual fantastic entertainments all courtesy of your favourite art zine.

Allow us to bring you a unique melange of art, poetry and performance art... jetting in is DJ Ben 'Jack Your Body' Robinson ready to rock the box, alongside the visionary Alex Tobin and Superclub resident Callum Monteith. See you then, and last one there's a square.

Also, the AGK is approaching. The euphoric Annual General Karaoke will be returning in September ... so you'd better have your video submitted by August 15. You know that you'll never forgive yourself if you don't submit a video.

Lots of love,

Yuck 'n Yum

TALKS

In association with Tentracks, a programme of talks curated by Rupert Thomson completes the week, encouraging discussions about this fascinating theme and bringing French and Scottish artists together.

An Introduction to cinéconcerts
Tue 21 June 5:00 pm
Cinéconcerts have become a cultural phenomenon in France, and particularly in the renowned city of Rennes. This simple premise - for which musicians re-edit films and write their own scores to be played live in-front of the film - has yielded an enormous diversity of results, from the thrilling to the humorous. As part of this week of cinéconcerts presentations, master musicians from Rennes discuss the origins and opportunities of this new form of practice.
Admission: £5 / £3

Beyond cinéconcerts
Thu 23 June 5:00 pm
This second talk is an open and informative discussion with some of the expert practitioners from Rennes about the question where next? for cinema and music re-interpretation. Scottish artists working in this field, or interested in this field, are particularly welcomed to join the discussion.
Admission: £5 / £3
