Craig Richardson book launch

19 May 2011

Craig Richardson & Dr Dominic Paterson in conversation

7pm Gallery 2. At Glasgow Sculpture Studios

Richardson will be discussing the monograph in conversation with Dr Dominic Paterson. Together they will address key areas of cultural politics and identity in a Scottish-national visual art context.

Scottish Art since 1960: Historical Reflections and Contemporary Overviews provides us with an analysis of the art of this period through a new chronology. The book includes interviews with artists, curators and critics, and provides access to Richardson’s non-catalogued personal archives.

Richardson examines and proposes a sequence of 'exemplary' works that outline a self-conscious definition of the interrogative term 'Scottish art.' Among the artists whose work is discussed are John Latham, Simon Starling, Alan Johnston, Roderick Buchanan, Christine Borland, Joan Eardley, Alexander Moffat, Douglas Gordon, Graham Fagen, and many others.

In collaboration with Creative Scotland, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is delighted to announce the first appointments to the Artists’ Fellowship Programme.

This year’s fellowships have been awarded to Glasgow-based sculptor Nick Evans and the collaborative partnership of Kim Coleman and Jenny Hogarth.
