  • 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.

  • Craft Generation Booklet CLAIRE BARCLAY
    CLAIRE BARCLAY Untitled Element from ‘Shadow Spans’ by Claire Barclay 2010 Shellac, calico, fur felt 22cm x 18cm x height 24cm From the installation work ‘Shadow Spans’ at The Whitechapel Gallery, London. The installation reflected on the nature of liminal spaces on the boundaries of indoors and outdoors, for example, the porch, the entrance, windows and doors, the pavement etc. The sculptural components were in some way exploring aspects of the transitions we experience between private and public space. This hat-like form suggestive of a shift from formal to informal when removed at the point of entering a building. It is also abstracted from its familiar form and so made odd and dysfunctional. 3 CLAIRE BARCLAY Where are you based? Based in Glasgow - work in the Glasgow Sculpture Studios, Glasgow Print Studio, studio at home, work with other fabricators, engineering company, saddlers, fabric printing facilities. What is your definition / the definition you prefer of craft? Craft is present in all disciplines where hand skills evolve over time through the exploration of and fascination with particular tasks, whether practical or absurd, traditional or improvised. How does craft relate to your practice as an artist? I don’t consciously think of myself as craft- ing while I am making, as I do not have a specific goal in mind. The materials and processes I use are determined more often by the context in which I am working. I try to use each project as an opportunity to learn more skills but if the skills needed are beyond my ability, I need to work in collaboration with experts in order to realize the work.

  • Press Release for Immediate Use
    Press Release For immediate use Impulses Towards Life Drawing and painting from the Edinburgh College of Art Collection 31 October – 19 December 2015 Bounding 100 years, Impulses Towards Life emphasises the reimagining of the human form in the last century, including early drawings by William McTaggart, John Bellany, Kirkland Main, Elizabeth Blackadder, Henry Moore and many others; and centred upon a work by Barbara Hepworth that has not been exhibited publicly for 65 years. Based on the Edinburgh College of Art Collection the exhibition accentuates the underlying practice of life drawing studies – a central pillar of art education – and is inclined towards the 1950s and 1960s when the majority of the collection was produced or collected. Also including paintings by Augustus Edwin John, Samuel John Peploe, David McClure, Anne Redpath and David Michie the exhibition outlines an evolving and ongoing negotiation between artists, education and the body. Establishing a backdrop for the exhibition are three prize-winning drawings completed in the 1850s at the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh. These works reflect the classical foundation for artists’ depictions of the body, featuring casts that would become an iconic part of the College’s physical environment. Art students in the second half of the 19th Century – including John Houston, John Mooney, Edward Gage and Kenneth Dingwall – were still required to take part in Life Drawing classes as part of their formal training and assessment, whilst also responding to the imperatives of modernism. By the 1950s debates on the relationship between art and the body centred upon the importance of tactility in understanding art.

    DAVID MICHIE DAVID DAVID MICHIE Memorial Exhibition The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh DAVID MICHIE (1928-2015) Memorial Exhibition 1 March – 1 April 2017 16 Dundas Street · Edinburgh EH3 6HZ +44 (0) 131 558 1200 [email protected] www.scottish-gallery.co.uk Front cover: Summer Garden, 1990, oil on canvas, 132 x 152.5 cms (detail) (cat. 26) Left: Self Portrait II, c.1958, chalk drawing, 36.5 x 26.5 cms (detail) (cat. 6) FOREWORD A memorial exhibition should not be a sombre affair and with the subject being the life and work of David Michie our exhibition for March 2017 could not be anything but a joyous celebration, as the succeeding pages should attest. David was a devoted son to his mother Anne Redpath, the happiest of married men with his wife Eileen, the best of fathers to his girls (who have all our thanks for helping prepare this tribute) and a friend to so many, including succeeding staff at The Scottish Gallery. One of whom, Robin McClure, writes a warm introduction over the page. This generosity of heart sprang from David’s intense interest in people: he had much to say but always as part of a conversation. But whatever he was saying he was also looking, a sketchbook seldom far from hand and what he saw and remembered or recorded helped him develop his own visual language to describe many aspects of natural phenomena but also his own feelings. A natural modesty could make him a reluctant exhibitor but the exuberance and colour in his work seeks out the light and attests to a life well lived, full of optimism and creative fulfilment.
