"Right then. Now, what I want you to do is; every time I press down on the keyboard, on one of the letters on the keyboard, I want you to put that letter up on the screen in front of me. Ok? 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'

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

17 - 21 OCTOBER/// A CUT A SCRATCH A SCORE: a comic opera in three parts

[http://gallery.mailchimp.com/bec5c83c5721068bccd072abe/images/CooperGallerygreybackgroundMailchimpBanner.jpg]

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.

[http://gallery.mailchimp.com/bec5c83c5721068bccd072abe/images/acut_screengrab.jpg]

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

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>

Exhibition Reception

The Obsidian Isle

Saturday 15th October 6pm
4.30pm - Book Launch

Free - All welcome

Street Level Photoworks
Trongate 103 - Glasgow - G1 5HD

Exhibition runs: 15th Oct - 11th Dec

'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

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.

Glasgow Landscapes 70s & 10s

Glasgow G1 5HD

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.

The competition is open now, and the closing date for entries is 16th December 2011. Full details about the competition and how to enter are available on the Education Scotland website here.<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=zna7f9dab&et=1107949754255&s=125&e=001e1u026v9wpkAppaQ1yIi2r3aF-0BdyxzHnl4RGNS7-0oyIBa6g49kiB7-h-bFtYx0yMrLu9KVODZ68fUIEcY_Q-QqOvVSeVvFiczT1OEkLy1J3FfBBMuduxg3VfJxTLZJZSxS9l1GxYWmLcz_L_BdrpC_AMPLTfi9UZPF1aE98OuiIulkPr0hnlXBTlEUfNEo4zdy6nLZu8=>

We will be creating a shortlist of 30 entries in January, with judging of the final winners in late January.

Winners will have their designs made into actual football strips, and will be invited with their families, to attend the Forest Pitch games on 21st July 2012, and see their strips being worn!
