“We are delighted to have been able to commission two
new bodies of work by leading artists Torsten Lauschmann and Susanne Nørregård Nielsen for next year’s GI,” says GSA
Exhibitions Director, Jenny Brownrigg.
“Torsten’s new solo commission will feature audio-visual and sculptural works which
interrogate a time when populist and nationalist vocabularies have re-surfaced,
whilst Susanne will be creating a series of new works on paper responding to Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s Remarks on Teaching Decorative Design’ (1922).”

“Our 2018 exhibition programme
will also give the public a chance to engage with some of the wide range of
research being undertaken here are the GSA. We will begin with the glamorous
designs of the Clyde-built QE2 and end with the story of medical ultrasound starting
with the ground-breaking work by former GSA Director, Dugald Cameron, in the
1960s and following developments right up to work being done now by the GSA’s
School of Simulation and Visualisation.”

“Collaboration is at the heart of the GSA,” continues Brownrigg. “Our programme this year features a number of international
collaborations starting with projects with the
National Institute of Fashion and Textiles (Gandhinagar) through Katy West’s
ongoing project ‘India Street’; and School of
Art and Design Marseille-Méditerranée in a curatorial group residency devised
by Kirsteen Macdonald. Later in the year we are pleased to be working with the
CCA on a project featuring specially commissioned work by Prabhakar Pachpute which responds to the literary
work of the GSA’s Professor of Urban Literature, Johnny Rodger.”

The 2018 exhibition programme opens with the Reid Gallery becoming a curatorial studio. The first part of the project brings together the GSA and School of Art and Design Marseille-Méditerranée and this is followed by a collaboration with SCAN.
As the world of work drives us to want to do
more, to live according to deadlines, to be late, to be exhausted, what does it
mean for creative practice? How can we collaborate if each individual is
already exhausted? What affects and shapes the conditions for curatorial
research? What does love have to do with it?

At a time when populist and nationalist
vocabularies have again re-surfaced, Lauschmann offers a series of ambitious
new works that interact with and reframe references and resources from
high and low culture, drawing together abstraction, humour, politics and art.

Type Writers’ Workshop, , set out
to explore parallels and distinctions between design and production in Scotland
and India through the use of familiar letter forms and print methods. In Ahmedabad
the workshop was led by Emlyn Firth, Soyab Kathri, and Hitesh Malaviya from
Indian Type Foundry. They worked with modular printing blocks to explore the
formal qualities of Devanagari type. Meanwhile, in Glasgow, Neil McGuire, Edwin
Pickstone & Ruth Kirkby designed a modular system of Latin font to develop
with letterpress. Curated by Katy West, the workshops are part of her ongoing
project ‘India Street’.

the legacy of Turkey red from the West of Scotland and how this boom-to-bust
industry developed graphic motifs that emulated the local craft traditions of
its many global export markets.This exhibition
will showcase the outcomes of the two parallel Type Writers’ Workshops which were made possible with support from
The British Council UK/IN Year of Culture 2017 and Creative Scotland.

Fifty years ago, the last
great Clyde-built passenger liner, Queen
Elizabeth 2, left the River Clyde at the beginning of what turned out to
be a highly successful and lengthy career as a trans-Atlantic liner and cruise
ship. This exhibition focuses on the design of the ship and its interiors –
which represented a high point for British post-war design and involved a
number of very significant British architects, industrial, interior and graphic
designers. Through imagery, text and ephemera, a notable ‘Clyde-built’ design
achievement is celebrated. This exhibition is curated by Bruce Peter, Professor
in Design History at The Glasgow School of Art.

Bruce Peter’s research relates mainly to architecture and design for
transport and leisure and entertainment. His PhD investigated relationships
between architecture of pleasure and the modern movement in the inter-war era.
Subsequent research has examined the design and material culture of cruise
ships, ro-ro ferries and container shipping and logistics.

Since 2006 Illustration students in the Communication Design department
have been meeting up to watch and discuss a diverse and esoteric range of
films. They’ve been stretching their narrative muscles by dissecting the work
of film makers with all kinds of stories to tell and all manner of ways to tell
them. For that same period the 4th Year Illustrators have been trumpeting the
screenings with graphic aplomb through a series of screen-printed, etched and
lithographed posters. This exhibition curated by Marc Baines in associated with
GSA Archives and Collections features around fifty of these posters from the
last twelve years displaying them alongside posters from earlier GSA film clubs
stretching back to the 1970s. Films represented span the years 1924 to 2011 and
include work by directors hailing from Greece (Athina Tsangari); Japan
(Yasujiro Ozu); the Czech Republic (Jan Svankmajer); Turkey (Nuri Bilge
Ceylan); Armenia (Sergei Parajanov) and all points inbetween. US and UK
directors as varied and wide ranging as Chris Petit, Shirley Clarke, Buster

Organised
and curated by Professor Alastair S Macdonald,
(former head of PDE and currently Senior

documents the early pioneers of ultrasound, the imaging of the foetus and the
pivotal role of the then young designer, Dugald Cameron in transforming an
industrial technology into a design which was usable, acceptable and
manufacturable. After a period in Industry, Cameron went on to become the head
of Product Design, Head of Design and then Director of the GSA.
