Felix Bucklow: Playtime_
Illusion and mimicry are devices which painting has always found too comfortable. When Felix began painting at the Royal Opera House it was still the medium of choice to trick and wow the audience. Yet at the same time it manages to fall so short within the gallery space and often isolates rather than allures.
Alfonso Ramundo: Derelict Decadence
Alfonso Ramundo is an Italian photographer who has lived in Glasgow for almost two decades. Throughout his career, he has focused on different areas of photography but there has always been a constant theme in his work - decadent structures of any kind. As a child, he had a fascination for abandoned houses in the countryside near his hometown. Since then, Alfonso has spent his life photographing old buildings, showing them in their present form - often neglected and forgotten but with a story to tell.
Hiding in the light
This exhibition guides the viewer on a journey through human civilization, and examines the traces we leave behind either as a group or as an individual when a change in patterns, movements or power occurs.
SEDA Green Drinks - Spaces Matter with Veronica Low
A look through the prism of Georg Simmel’s essay "The Metropolis & Mental Life" at how the creation of urban green space and empowered communities influence human experience in 21st century Glasgow.
Glasgow 2065 - A Speculative Project by Lateral North
Through a sequence of speculative images, this exhibition depicts future scenarios for Glasgow and its relationship with water. These imaginative future scenarios are designed to provoke discussion and ask questions about how we live now, and how Glasgow might be shaped in the future through prevailing global climatic changes.
Baham(ia)
This exhibition is comprised of four artists working within four different thematical approaches to the contemporary field of sculpture. Contextualizing ‘Ba Ham’- a Persian (Farsi) word meaning ‘with each other’, we have created a portmanteau; ‘Baham(ia)’ meaning togetherness.
Topophilia
Topophilia is a strong sense of place, which often becomes mixed with the sense of cultural identity among certain people and a love of certain aspects of such a place. Six artists come together to explore this theme questioning Glasgow, and the contrasting elements in our surroundings and out environments. Our work is centred around place, time, mapping and movement.
