Objects From the Temperate Palm House

28 January 2016

The year starts with a visit to a pop-up artist-run gallery Bargain Spot Project Space to talk about their new group exhibition Objects from the Temperate Palm House.

Bargain Spot curators Lydia Honeybone and Abigail Webster will discuss the work in the exhibition and their plans for the space. Objects from the Temperate Palm House is a group exhibition presenting new, existing and commissioned work by eleven artists from Scotland, the UK and Europe. The exhibition presents their work alongside artefacts from the archive of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Borrowing the aesthetic of the renaissance ‘wunderkammer’ (cabinet of curiosities) the exhibition seeks to call into question how artworks are displayed and the act of looking in the gallery. The exhibition is curated by Chloe Reith and Kirsty White.

Preparatory Ways

15 April 2009 at 6.30pm

Join our SPIN host Alhena Katsof for an exciting visit to Transmission gallery. There we will meet with some of Transmission’s current committee members to discuss the new group exhibition, Preparatory Ways, featuring the work of Karen Cunningham, Yuen Fong Ling, Sophie Mackfall and Ralo Mayer.

The four artists in Preparatory Ways each have distinct lines of enquiry and exploratory approaches to art making. In the gallery context, these disparate practices interplay, revealing exciting overlaps in research and artistic vocabularies. The exhibitions features new video, sculpture, painting and installation works.

Karen Cunningham is a Glasgow-based artist who graduated from the MFA program at Glasgow School of Art in 2003. Karen has just returned from the Scottish Arts Council Residency in Amsterdam. Yuen Fong Ling completed the MFA program at Glasgow School of Art in 2007. He lives and works in Salford and is working on a Fine Art PhD at the University of Lincoln. Sophie Mackfall was born in York and now lives and works in Glasgow. Sophie graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2008. Ralo Mayer lives and works in Vienna. Ralo studied comparative literature and conceptual art in Vienna and Copenhagen and now works as an artist and translator for the Science fiction magazine Multiplex Fiction.

Transmission Gallery
Transmission Gallery was set up in 1983 by graduates from Glasgow School of Art who were dissatisfied with the lack of exhibition spaces and opportunities for young artists in Glasgow. Since 1983, Transmission has become a model for artist led initiatives throughout the UK. It is a vital artist-run organisation that has a seminal role in the Scottish contemporary art scene. Transmission Gallery is managed by a committee of six volunteers who each work for up to two years. Transmission evolves under the influence of each successive committee member and the regular changes in the Gallery’s committee maintain a fluid and varied relationship with developing concerns in the world of the visual arts.
