An exhibition of new work by Rachel inspired by the GSA’s WWI Archives
will open the 2016 exhibition programme
|
For the opening
in exhibition in 2016 – Nothing compares to the first time getting shot at – Rachel Lowther has created new work in
response to the GSA’s Archives & Collections’ World War I holdings. The
holdings include records of GSA staff and students who went into military
service, references to individuals who were anti-war, information on
fundraising activities, and events at GSA initiated by those left behind. In
particular Lowther was drawn to correspondence records which, when read, trace
the impact of WWI on the GSA. The exhibition, which opens on 16 January 2016
will showcase a new body of work including sculpture, film and
embroideries. Lowther will also curate an exhibition of archive material
including letters from the front lines and military hospitals, and
postcards depicting caricatures of soldiers.

April sees two
exhibitions as part of the 2016 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art. For Hold Fast, Stand Sure, I scream a revolution, Serena
Korda will create a sculptural installation with sound. The work has
been specially commissioned by the GSA for GI 2016’s “Supported Programme”. It
will combine the artist’s interest in primitive impulses, invented
tradition and the concept of a “Thin Place”. Thin Places are anomalies in the
landscape which in pre-Roman times were seen as portals into the afterlife. The
artist will work with the communities of Garnethill (where the GSA is located)
and The Isle of Mull, and her work will draw upon the prevalence of radicalism
in Garnethill since the late 19th Century as well as
considering the geological and geographical significance of Mull as a portal to
other worlds. Mull and Glasgow act as mirrors to one another, creating a
“polyverse” that draws on invented and existing mythologies of the underworld.
The work will be shown in the Reid Gallery.

Elsewhere in
the Reid Building for GI2016 Christina McBride will show Light
Becomes Silence, a solo exhibition of colour and black & white photographic
works. The photographs, and accompanying new bookwork, chart a journey
through Patagonia made by the artist and Mexican writer Roberto
Bravo. The photographs are part of a larger body of research
which uses the analogue medium in response to landscape. Landscape has a long
history within the photographic medium, but it is an area which has been so
dominated and defined by the male perspective. Why do so few women make work in
and of the land, and why do we know so little of those that do? Some of these
on-going questions feed into McBride’s broader area of interest.
