  • 'The Neo-Avant-Garde in Modern Scottish Art, And
    ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ CRAIG RICHARDSON DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (BY PUBLISHED WORK) THE SCHOOL OF FINE ART, THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART 2017 1 ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ Abstract. The submitted publications are concerned with the historicisation of late-modern Scottish visual art. The underpinning research draws upon archives and site visits, the development of Scottish art chronologies in extant publications and exhibitions, and builds on research which bridges academic and professional fields, including Oliver 1979, Hartley 1989, Patrizio 1999, and Lowndes 2003. However, the methodology recognises the limits of available knowledge of this period in this national field. Some of the submitted publications are centred on major works and exhibitions excised from earlier work in Gage 1977, and Macmillan 1994. This new research is discussed in a new iteration, Scottish art since 1960, and in eight other publications. The primary objective is the critical recovery of little-known artworks which were formed in Scotland or by Scottish artists and which formed a significant period in Scottish art’s development, with legacies and implications for contemporary Scottish art and artists. This further serves as an analysis of critical practices and discourses in late-modern Scottish art and culture. The central contention is that a Scottish neo-avant-garde, particularly from the 1970s, is missing from the literature of post-war Scottish art. This was due to a lack of advocacy, which continues, and a dispersal of knowledge. Therefore, while the publications share with extant publications a consideration of important themes such as landscape, it reprioritises these through a problematisation of the art object.

  • 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.

  • Download Craft Scotland Celebrates... Wood PDF 6 Feb 2019
    MEDIA RELEASE: Craft Scotland and VAS showcase material mastery in wood by Scotland based makers Three of Scotland's most exciting artists present their work in the third Craft Scotland celebrates... exhibition as part of ALIGHT at Royal Scottish Academy In the third of a planned series celebrating craft mediums Craft Scotland is delighted once again to be partnering with Visual Arts Scotland (VAS) to celebrate contemporary woodworking through a presentation of multidisciplinary works from gifted Scotland based makers. This year Craft Scotland has chosen to explore wood through the diverse work of three makers: Charlotte Barker, Beth Legg and Naomi Mcintosh. Their work is presented alongside hirta, a modular structure that acts as a focus for discussion around materiality, design and making. Challenging the common perceptions of wood, this year the Craft Scotland celebrates... wood showcase highlights the versatility of wood as a craft material, and the diversity of applications it can be adapted to. Selected by the VAS committee and representatives of Craft Scotland, the three invited artists will form the starting point for a wider celebration of the diverse discipline of contemporary woodworking throughout the ALIGHT exhibition. A sense of movement is offered by Charlotte Barker, the wood’s natural texture contrasting with the controlled markings of her ceramic vessels. Beth Legg’s objects and jewellery are rooted in the poetic nature of metal, wood and stone and her fascination with hinterlands while Naomi Mcintosh’s designs explore volume, pattern and movement. Speaking ahead of the exhibition opening Craft Scotland Director Irene Kernan said: “Our media-specific showcases were born out of Craft Scotland and Visual Arts Scotland's mutual ambition to exhibit high-quality craft, alongside works of fine art, in a venue fitting of its stature.

  • An Talla Solais
    engage Scotland – Go & See funding report An Talla Solais An Talla Solais, Ullapool An Talla Solais is a community-led art centre in Ullapool on the northwest coast of Scotland. It hosts a wide range of exhibitions of contemporary art; runs classes, courses and events to enable people to connect with art; and offers studio space to artists and groups. Summary Sara Garnett (Events and Audience Development Coordinator), Sian Curley (Marketing Coordinator), Rachel Grant (Exhibitions Coordinator) and Joanna Wright (Manager) from An Talla Solais, (ATS), used the Go & See Grant to visit four arts organisations in the North East of Scotland: Northlands Glass (Lybster), Timespan (Helmsdale), Scottish Sculpture Workshop and Deveron Arts (Huntly). As An Talla Solais approached its tenth year, the organisation felt that it was important to review its practice relating to issues of access, equality and diversity, and that it would be useful to see how other practitioners in the North of Scotland address these issues. The four places visited have very different remits. Northlands Glass is a centre of excellence for glass making with regular artist residencies, masterclasses and symposia. Timespan is a heritage and arts centre with regular contemporary art exhibitions. The Scottish Sculpture Workshop has a range of sculpture facilities including a bronze foundry, iron foundry, ceramics studio and wood studio. Deveron Arts is a gallery without walls which uses Huntly as a site for a range of socially-engaged art practice. The group visited with the intention of finding out more about how this wide range of organisations deal with practical access issues of language and disabilities, and how interpretational methods engage visitors with exhibitions and events.
