The summer exhibition sees a second collaboration between the GSA and
Grizedale Arts following Politics of
Craft (2015). ‘Against Landscape’
(1 July – 28 August 2017) is curated by artist Daniel Sturgis in partnership with Grizedale Arts. The exhibition uses the artworks to consider
how the ideas, genius or place of landscape painting have been manifested, but
not overtly displayed, in a variety of practices. The exhibition takes its
initial inspiration from the English Lake District, the history of the Coniston
Institute and some of the contested traditions which are at its heart, such as
the opposing but connected positions of Wordsworth and Ruskin

Simone Ten Hompel, a life with metal’
A survey of a thirty five year career of German born, UK based
silversmith Simone ten Hompel, curated by Amanda Game. Jerwood
award winning ten Hompel has worked with independent curator Amanda Game to bring
together domestic objects, sculpture, images, models and photographs to trace
her exceptional work as designer, maker, teacher and curator in the field of
contemporary metal design. Produced by Ruthin Craft Centre, Wales this touring
show includes a newly commissioned film collaboration directed by Jarman Award
shortlisted artist filmmaker Matt Hulse. Ten Hompel had her first solo show in
Scotland in 1995 at the Scottish Gallery and has taught at both Glasgow School
of Art and Edinburgh College of Art. She is peer-reviewed as the most
inventive silversmith of her generation, overcoming severe undiagnosed dyslexia
as a child to develop her own ‘language of metal’. She has designed
for Indian company Ravissant and has work in over twenty public collections
internationally including V & A and National Museums Scotland.

Against Landscape’
Curated by artist Daniel Sturgis in collaboration
with Grizedale Arts, ‘Against Landscape’
uses the artworks to consider how the ideas, genius or place of landscape
painting have been manifested, but not overtly displayed, in a variety of
practices. As such the exhibition will therefore not include any “straight-
forward” landscape paintings, but will rather present a diverse collection of
contemporary and historic works that revolve around the idea(s) of “landscape
representation” in “painting”. The exhibition takes its initial inspiration
from the English Lake District, the history of the Coniston Institute and some
of the contested traditions which are at its heart, such as the opposing but
connected positions of Wordsworth and Ruskin (and the romantic against the
useful). The exhibition also highlights the way much modernist painting, while
trying to escape the influence of landscape painting, had a heightened
awareness of the rural embedded within it.

This group exhibition is curated by GSA Silversmith & Jewellery
staff members Jonathan Boyd & Andrew Lamb. “The
whole concept of CONNECTED is to make work about the very notion of being
connected. Not to mention, our passion for making. We have laid out tasks and
guidelines and each member of the group will produce pieces that represent
their interpretation of connectivity. We are all very different and work in
diverse ways and are interested in a whole range of techniques and work with an
even greater array of materials.”

Professor Sketchbooks
Professor Andrew MacMillan and Professor Charles
MacCallum, two professors at the GSA Mackintosh School of Architecture, kept
personal sketchbooks. It has been decided to publish some of these sketches, as
they give an intriguing insight into how an architect thinks and what he
observes, including how an architectural idea or detail may be developed. Some
of the sketches are of every day scenes, some of buildings and details that the
architect wished to record, and some are developments of building plans and
sections where different possibilities were being considered. The book is being
published by Freight Books, along with the Glasgow City Heritage Trust and the
Mackintosh School of Architecture. The associated exhibition, which will be
curated by Robin Webster and the Mackintosh School of Architecture, will
feature some of the sketches and a selection of the 158 sketchbooks that are
being donated to the GSA Archive by the architects’ families.
