IT WRITHES: This weekend @ The Glue Factory!

Join us at the Glue Factory for a Hallowe’en party that damns your soul and burns your sorry remains in the bowels of our infernal warehouse! We have summoned the dead nags of Glue Factory past to help us brew a boiling cabaret hoof vat with live performance, installation and other inhumane activity taking place throughout the building. From the firey voodoo swamp of gut churning blues and hell leather rockabilly to the slashfest techno prison and (just a)live music throughout the night we’ll have something depraved in every sordid corner! Produced in association with our friends at 85A.

Bill Bollinger @ the Fruitmarket Gallery

The Fruitmarket Gallery is proud to present this major exhibition of the work of American artist Bill Bollinger (1939–1988), one of the most important artists of the 1960s. A work of art historical rediscovery as well as an exhibition of great power and beauty, it brings an artist once mentioned in the same breath as Bruce Nauman, Robert Smithson, Eva Hesse and Fred Sandback back for serious reconsideration. more.........

THE GSA LIVE: SEA ART PROJECT AT PLATFORM

Gillian Alexander, Amy Dolan, Beth Dynowski, Ashanti Harris & Emily Ilett, Derek Mitchell and Hazel Moore

REVIEW - MAR THU 2 / 6PM – 8PM
EXHIBITION - MAR FRI 4 – MAR SAT 19

Platform is delighted to announce the opening of a unique exhibition created in collaboration with The Glasgow School of Art.

As part of their academic year in fourth year, students work independently to make site specific work or deliver an exhibition. This project has involved the students to consider Platform and the Bridge as a site for a new piece of work to be developed and experienced.

A selection of students have used the past few months to develop new work in reaction to architectural sites around the building as well as considering the functions in areas such as the café, library and pool as well as leading to numerous collaborations between the students and Glasgow Life, John Wheatley College and local writers.

This has developed into an exhibition that features sculpture, photography, film and sound pieces.

Work by the following people will also be featured in the exhibition:
Lesley Anne Allen, Louise Boyce, Aimee Cameron, Noel Connolly, Alana Hillis, Jax McCauley, Kirsten McLachlan, Kirsty Miller and Kevin Wood.

Sculpture shock

DURING KENNY Hunter's three month residency at New York art centre Location One in 2005, he explored the city, taking in the 'weird quality of light' caused by the lack of direct sun penetrating the concrete jungle. He observed the vast deposits of waste that would emerge on a daily basis from the base of towering skyscrapers. He also read a book on modernism by Marshall Berman called All That Is Solid Melts Into Air. The title, a line from the Communist Manifesto, could easily be a slogan for almost all this Musselburgh-born artist's work.

Kenny Hunter Interview: Graft and craft:

EVERY MORNING, KENNY HUNTER gets on his bike and cycles to his studio in Anniesland along the tow path of the Forth & Clyde Canal. It's an in-between place, part post-industrial wasteland, part bucolic riverside, home to swans and kingfishers, abandoned shopping trolleys and underage drinkers.
