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. -

Albert Irvin, Beacon II, 1994 Acrylic on Canvas 186 X 160Cm [Detail] Albert Irvin
Albert Irvin, Beacon II, 1994 Acrylic on canvas 186 x 160cm [detail] Albert Irvin Albert Irvin OBE RA was born in 1922 in London, where he continued to live and work throughout his life. In the early 1940’s Irvin attended Northampton School of Art. His studies were interrupted when he was called up, serving as a navigator in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. After the war ended he enrolled at Goldsmiths College in London to resume his studies. In 1962, he returned to Goldsmiths where he taught for twenty years. He also taught as visiting lecturer at art colleges throughout Britain. Irvin’s first solo exhibition was in 1960 at 57 Gallery, Edinburgh followed by New Art Centre in London in 1963 and 1965. He went on to exhibit extensively throughout Europe, the USA and Australia. A major retrospective of his work from 1960 to 1989 was held at the Serpentine Gallery, London in 1990. Irvin was awarded a Travel Award to America by the Arts Council in 1968 and later received an Arts Council Major Award In 1970 he moved into his Studio in Stepney Green and continued travelling to work there from his home at least 3 times a week into his 90s. He formed a working relationship with Advanced Graphics London in 1979, and began producing screenprints with them - the start of a very successful venture. 2 Irvin joined Gimpel Fils in 1982 they had regular, solo exhibitions of his work throughout his life. His works are held in many public collections including Tate, Royal Academy and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; The British Council; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Manchester City Art Gallery; Leeds Art Gallery and The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. -

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. -

National Fund for Acquisitions Grants Paid 2010–2011 National Fund for Acquisitions Grants Paid 2010–2011 Hazel Williamson National Fund for Acquisitions Manager National Museums Scotland Chambers Street Edinburgh EH1 1JF Tel 0131 247 4106 email [email protected] Cover: Colour woodblock print, Kyōbashi Takegashi from Meisho Edo Hyakkei, 1857, by Utagawa Hiroshige. Acquired by The Hunterian with a grant from the National Fund for Acquisitions. National Fund for Acquisitions The National Fund for Acquisitions (NFA), provided by Scottish Government to the Trustees of National Museums Scotland, contributes towards the acquisition of objects for the collections of Scottish museums, galleries, libraries, archives and other similar institutions open to the public. The Fund can help with acquisitions in most collecting areas including objects relating to the arts, literature, history, natural sciences, technology, industry and medicine. Decisions on grant applications are made in consultation with curatorial staff at National Museums Scotland and the Directors and staff of the National Galleries of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland who provide expert advice to the Fund. While recognising that the financial climate is extremely difficult, National Museums Scotland was particularly dismayed to learn of a 25% cut to the NFA’s already limited funding, reducing the grant to only £150,000 in financial year 2011/12. NFA funding had remained at £200,000 per annum since 1996, a figure which in real terms has declined very considerably in value during the subsequent fifteen years. Clearly the extent of the cut means that the NFA cannot support collecting in Scotland as effectively as we would wish. -
