Showcasing work by more than 150 of the best local and international artists, the 2014 Festival will further highlight Glasgow as one of the world’s most important creative hubs for contemporary visual art. FURTHER DETAILS OF DIRECTOR’S PROGRAMME Glasgow International is delighted to announce further details about the exhibitions of the Director’s programme all curated for the first time by the Festival’s Director, Sarah McCrory. Within Tramway Galleries 1 and 5, the renowned and influential artist MICHAEL SMITH will present his first solo exhibition in a UK institution entitled ‘Videos and Miscellaneous Stuff From Storage (Pt. 2)’, curated in association with Mark Beasley. The exhibition will showcase a series of his most important works from the last three decades exploring the medium of television. As Smith has been using various identities in his work for over thirty years, this show will focus on the persona of ‘Mike’, an everyman whose actions reflect our own inadequacies. Exhibiting in Tramway’s T2 space, BEDWYR WILLIAMS , will present ‘Echt’, a film installation which takes the form of a full size diorama, depicting an encounter in a dark forest clearing. As part of this work viewers can see a new film, which explores a dystopian future and alternative systems of exchange. These exhibitions will be accompanied by an ‘In Conversation’ between Michael Smith and Bedwyr Williams, moderated by Mark Beasley, which will focus on humour in an evening event that will also include a performance by each artist. At GALLERY OF MODERN ART (GoMA), ALEKSANDRA DOMANOVI Ć will present her first institutional solo exhibition in the UK, which will explore a marginalised representation of women within popular science fiction and time travel. Domanovi ć will install a series of large scale sculptural banners printed with images depicting motifs and characters stemming from her research. Her presentation on the ground floor of GoMA will use the building’s position and architectural features to re- contextualise the gallery space as a ‘time-less survival’ pod. On the first floor of Glasgow International GoMA, SUE TOMPKINS will present a new performance and a new suite of fabric Part of Culture & Sport Glasgow Scottish Charity No SC037844 pieces, paintings and works on newsprint as part of her exhibition ‘Come to Ozark’. Company limited by guarantee in Scotland SC313851 Glasgow International 2014 is also delighted to announce that, in partnership with the Year of HOMECOMING SCOTLAND 2014 , the renowned MCLELLAN GALLERIES will be reopened to present work by JORDAN WOLFSON , AVERY SINGER , CHARLOTTE PRODGER and HUDINILSON JR. On the lower level of the McLellan Galleries, will be a mini-survey of Jordan Wolfson’s work which will reflect on the artist’s practice. Wolfson is known for creating sculptural videos that use high-quality production methods, such as animation to reflect the place of the artist in our constructed world. Within McLellan, the Festival will also present a show of new work by AVERY SINGER created by the modern and recently available 3D modelling software tool ‘Google Sketch Up’. CHARLOTTE PRODGER will produce a new sculptural installation that explores the contingency and intimacy of physical and textual materials. An exhibition of work by the late Brazilian artist HUDINILSON JR will also be displayed, looking back across 35 years of his practice that includes autobiographical and diaristic collage, performative collaboration, small sculptures and Xerox works, tracing an as yet under-represented but expansive and rich life. As part of the Director’s programme, there will also be an exhibition at KELVINGROVE ART GALLERY AND MUSEUM by SIMON MARTIN which will include new film work taking the form of a remote drift through objects and reproductions gleaned from multiple sources within the collection of the museum. The show will be presented on the ground floor of the building, with reference to Kelvingrove’s unique hang. Within Glasgow’s GOVANHILL BATHS , a dis-used public swimming pool, now re- purposed as a community centre and creative venue will be used as part of the Homecoming Scotland 2014 programme, hosting a presentation by ANTHEA HAMILTON AND NICHOLAS BYRNE entitled ‘Love’. This exhibition will include large, brightly-coloured, suspended and free-standing inflatable sculptures which incorporate influences from advertising, popular culture, psychedelia and have an underlying sensuality. NEW EXHIBITIONS ACROSS THE CITY Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art is delighted to announce several new solo and group exhibitions by leading local and international artists for the 2014 programme. New solo exhibitions include Scotland’s first presentation by internationally acclaimed Mexican artist GABRIEL KURI at THE COMMON GUILD which will explore the relationship between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ elements in the nature of sculpture. The Modern Institute will present the first ever exhibition in the UK by collective LIFE & THE INVITATION& VAPOUR IN DEBRI& featuring music and extra-musical performance. This show will run alongside THE MODERN INSTITUTE ’s presentation of the first solo exhibition in Scotland by New York based artist, ANNE COLLIER featuring new photographic work.

As part of Glasgow International 2014, new exhibitions will also be showcased in off-site locations to present the unknown and forgotten architectural gems of the city in a new light. Developed in collaboration with Dalmarnock Community Centre and local children, and announced as part of the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme in July 2013, the State of Play project will explore the process of bringing the playground to life over a nine month period to explore the role of the child in the city. Working alongside this project, artist NILS NORMAN , Assemble and Create will also produce a ‘ PLAY SUMMIT’ taking the form of a series of associated workshops and events to be hosted on the playground during the festival. Additional new solo exhibitions will include a show of work by pioneering conceptual artist STEPHEN KALTENBACH at OHIO , an expansive installation by HENRIK PÄTZKE presented by Project Ability and an exhibition by London based artist JESSE WINE at MARY MARY .

Carlton Place will also display the work of CHRISTINA RAMBERG , a central figure in the Chicago Imagist movement. New group exhibitions will include a curated show by Glasgow-based, Turner Prize nominee JIM LAMBIE which will bring together his work with that of ANDY WARHOL and BALDVIN RINGSTED at VOIDOID ARCHIVE.

  • Histoire Des Collections Numismatiques Et Des Institutions Vouées À La Numismatique
    HISTOIRE DES COLLECTIONS NUMISMATIQUES ET DES INSTITUTIONS VOUÉES À LA NUMISMATIQUE Numismatic Collections in Scotland Scotland is fortunate in possessing two major cabinets of international signifi- cance. In addition over 120 other institutions, from large civic museums to smaller provincial ones, hold collections of coins and medals of varying size and impor- tance. 1 The two main collections, the Hunterian held at the University of Glasgow, and the national collection, housed at the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh, nicely complement each other. The former, based on the renowned late 18th centu- ry cabinet of Dr. William Hunter, contains an outstanding collection of Greek and Roman coins as well as important groups of Anglo-Saxon, medieval and later English, and Scottish issues along with a superb holding of medals. The National Museums of Scotland house the largest and most comprehensive group of Scottish coins and medals extant. Each collection now numbers approximately 70,000 speci- mens. The public numismatic collections from the rest of Scotland, though perhaps not so well known, are now recorded to some extent due to a National Audit of the coun- try’s cultural heritage held by museums and galleries carried out by the Scottish Museums Council in 2001 on behalf of the Scottish Government. 2 Coins and Medals was one of 20 collections types included in the questionnaire, asking for location, size and breakdown into badges, banknotes, coins, medals, tokens, and other. Over 12 million objects made up what was termed the Distributed National Collection, of which 3.3% consisted of approximately 68,000 coins and medals in the National Museums concentrated in Edinburgh and 345,000 in the non-nationals throughout the rest of the country.

  • Helen Flockhart CV
    HELEN FLOCKHART Arusha Gallery | [email protected] | 0131 557 1412 BIOGRAPHY Following her attainment of a first-class undergraduate degree in painting at the Glasgow School of Art in 1984, Helen Flockhart took up postgraduate study with the British Council at the State Higher School of Fine Art in Poznan, Poland. Boasting an impressive resume of solo exhibitions, spanning both Scotland and England, as well as group shows in New York, Ontario, Rotterdam, London and Truro, Flockhart was recently awarded the Concept Fine Art Award (2016), the Royal Scottish Academy’s Maude Gemmel Hutchinson Prize (2012), and the Lyon and Turnbull Award presented by the Royal Glasgow Institute (2012). A fellow of the Glasgow Art Club (as of 1997), Flockhart’s works belong to such prestigious collections as the Fleming Collection, the Scottish Arts Council, Strathclyde University and the Lillie. Bill Hare, teaching fellow of Modern and Contemporary Scottish Art at the University of Edinburgh, praises her work. ‘Nobody paints like Helen Flockhart’, he writes: ‘here the mundane and the mythical are at one with each other’. Hers are works which break with established convention -- a blend of portrait and landscape, Flockhart’s paintings are verdant, fantastical paeans to that particularist genre of British myth making centered on pastures, mountains and divinity. Indeed, there is something Blakean about her work -- a warmth of vision borne of what appears simultaneous ancient and modern. EDUCATION 1985-1986 Studied painting at the State Higher School of

  • 8Pm Tramway, Glasgow Think of a Relationship As a Rhythm
    , 1975–76. COURTESY, 1975–76. OF THE ARTISTS ABYRINTHE L DOUBLE DOUBLE I, K ADA M HO T MARIA KLONARIS & KATERINA KATERINA & KLONARIS MARIA A M I F 2017 SAT 11 NOV SUN 12 Nov 10.30AM – 6PM 11A M – 8PM TRAMWAY, GLASGOW Think of a relationship as a rhythm. You list the generic activities that could comprise ours. We might eat, read, walk, watch, rest, even sleep together. More than these bare, shared facts, however, our association is a system of negotiation. It is shaped as much from stubbornness as generosity, comprised more of willfulness than compromise. As we begin to speak about programming this festival together, I tell you about a film from 1982, in which three women reflect on the breakdown of their romantic relationship, riffing off the genre of a melodrama. You respond with a text that describes two young girls rehearsing a sex scene from a Hollywood film in the bathroom of a suburban home. We exchange messages about the patterns of our days, about illness, tiredness, annoyances, heartache. I write to tell you that I am fed up with work, fed up with the pressure to produce, fed up with discussions about care taking place in institutions that do anything but that. Like other forms of minor speech, complaints carve out a kind of intimacy between us. But meeting together by a large expanse of water one day, we find ourselves talking about desire instead. Think of a relationship as a thing that need not – for anyway it never really does – begin or end with two.

  • Gagosian Gallery
    The Irish Times August 19, 2014 GAGOSIAN GALLERY The Artistic Vision of Scotland’s Golden Generation The quality and scale of Generation: 25 Years of Art in Scotland, which shows over 100 artists in over 60 venues, is impressive Declan Long ‘Pretty Much’ by Douglas Gordon This summer, in advance of Scotland’s independence vote, an outstanding example of independent Scottish thinking has been on show at Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art. Illuminating the ground floor of this grand neoclassical museum is Pretty Much Every Film and Video Work from 1992 to Now, an encyclopaedic survey of the art of Douglas Gordon, clustered and condensed as a single, elaborate installation. Blinking and blaring together in the darkened gallery are more than 100 television monitors. Each one offers an intense cinematic insight into the maverick imagination of this extravagantly inventive Glaswegian. Each one sits on a plinth made from a humble beer crate: global art market meets Glasgow flea market. It’s an apt combination – a pairing of the refined and the rough-edged – both in relation to the distinctive qualities of Gordon’s work and contemporary art from Scotland more generally. Gordon’s anthology contains a potent mixture of highbrow conceptualism and pop-cultural plundering (his most famous work, 24 Hour Psycho, stretches out Hitchcock’s classic chiller to an uncanny and agonising day-long duration). He synthesises references to cinema, music and literature with forceful, unsettling natural imagery, moving between disturbing psychological extremes of dark and light. His Goma megamix is an astonishing display of extraordinary creative diversity and edgy, out-of-the-ordinary artistic effort.
