  • National Collecting Scheme Scotland National

    National Collecting Scheme Scotland National

    National Collecting Scheme Scotland National Collecting Scheme Scotland is an initiative that supports public collections across Scotland to acquire and present challenging contemporary visual art. The initiative also seeks to enable curators within those organisations to extend their knowledge and understanding of contemporary visual arts, and to develop their engagement with the visual arts sector in Scotland. Scotland is home to some very fine public collections, which are of local, national and international significance. It is the aim of the NCSS that those public collections are able to reflect the range and vibrancy of contemporary art created here and abroad, that they can help build new audiences for the contemporary visual arts, as well as engage and work with artists and visual arts organisations. Some facts : • NCSS is an initiative of the Scottish Arts Council. • Currently NCSS has seven museum partners. These are Aberdeen Art Gallery, McManus Galleries, Dundee, Edinburgh City Art Centre, Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow, Hunterian Art Gallery, Paisley Museum and Art Gallery, and the Pier Arts Centre, Orkney. • In its first phase - 2003-2006 - NCSS enabled a total of 122 acquisitions by six public collections (including craft in its first phase). In 2007-2008 a further 18 works of visual art have been acquired. The Scottish Arts Council will support further acquisitions in 2008-2009. • NCSS member were also involved in an innovative joint commissioning project – the first of its kind in the UK. They collaborated to commission Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan to create a substantial and ambitious new work of art for Scotland • Aberdeen Art Gallery hosted the Scotland & Venice exhibition December 2007- January 2008.

    ONS NATIONAL DIM NATIONAL DIMENNATIONAL DIMENSIONS NAL DIMENSIONS DIMENSIONS NATIO This report was researched and written by AEA Consulting: Magnus von Wistinghausen Keith Morgan Katharine Housden This report sets out the collaborative work undertaken by the UK’s nationally funded museums, libraries and archives with other organisations across the UK, and assesses their impact on cultural provision across the nation. It focuses on the activities in recent years of members of the National Museum Directors’ Conference (NMDC), and is largely based on discussions with these institutions and selected partner organisations, as well as on a series of discussion days hosted by the NMDC in different regional centres in July 2003. It does not make specific reference to collaborative work between NMDC organisations themselves, and focuses on activities and initiatives that have taken place in the last few years. For the sake of simplicity the term ‘national museum’ is used throughout the report to describe all NMDC member organisations, notwithstanding the fact that these also include libraries and archives. In this report the term ‘national’ is used to denote institutions established by Act of Parliament as custodians of public collections that belong to the nation. It is acknowledged that the NMDC does not include all museums and other collecting institutions which carry the term ‘national’ as part of their name. Specific reference to their activities is not contained in this report. Published in the United Kingdom by the National Museum Directors'

    The Scottish Ornithologists’ Club Scotland’s Bird Club Highland Bird News No 119 January 2013 Editorial Contents May I take this opportunity to wish you a happy and healthy New Year, with lots of good birds/birding too! Editorial p1 The unseasonal temperatures seem to be causing confusion amongst Annual Dalry Bird Festival some of our birds. I heard Oystercatchers calling over Inverness around p2 midnight on 6th January and on the 7th, I noticed Blue Tits collecting feathers, presumably for nest building? A Field Trip to the Black Isle p2 Inverness seems to have largely missed out on Waxwings so far this winter, though there are still a few about. From the region, the largest Some Recent and not so flock I have heard of was of 1000 birds, seen at Kyleakin by people on Recent Sightings p3 their way to attend the Skye Conference on 17 November. Indoor Meetings & Field I have had up to 3 males and a female Brambling coming daily to my Trips p3 feeders since before Christmas. They were joined on 3rd January by two Waxwings which demolished an apple put out for the Blackbirds and Useful Contacts p4 also by a male Blackcap, the first I have seen in the garden at this time of year. Websites and Blogs about Birds and Birding in The mini conference held at the Gaelic College on Skye on Saturday 17 Highland p4 November 2012 was a great success. A write up will appear in a future issue of Scottish Birds. Thanks are due in large measure to Bob 2010 Highland Bird Report McMillan for promoting the idea, choosing the venue, inviting speakers p5 and for making the arrangements which together, make a bird conference so enjoyable.

    Graeme Todd the View from Now Here

    GRAEME TODD The View from Now Here 1 GRAEME TODD The View from Now Here EAGLE GALLERY EMH ARTS ‘But what enhanced for Kublai every event or piece of news reported by his inarticulate informer was the space that remained around it, a void not filled by words. The descriptions of cities Marco Polo visited had this virtue: you could wander through them in thought, become lost, stop and enjoy the cool air, or run off.’ 1 I enjoy paintings that you can wander through in thought. At home I have a small panel by Graeme Todd that resembles a Chinese lacquer box. In the distance of the image is the faint tracery of a fallen city, caught within a surface of deep, fiery red. The drawing shows only as an undercurrent, overlaid by thinned- down acrylic and layers of varnish that have been polished to a silky patina. Criss-crossing the topmost surface are a few horizontal streaks: white tinged with purple, and bright, lime green. I imagine they have been applied by pouring the paint from one side to the other – the flow controlled by the way that the panel is tipped – this way and that. I think of the artist in his studio, holding the painting in his hands, taking this act of risk. Graeme Todd’s images have the virtue that, while at one glance they appear concrete, at another, they are perpetually fluid. This is what draws you back to look again at them – what keeps them present. It is a pleasure to be able to host The View from Now Here at the Eagle Gallery, and to work in collaboration with Andrew Mummery, who is a curator and gallerist for whom I have a great deal of respect.
