For our May Spin event, we will make a return visit to Rhubaba Gallery and Studios to talk about the group exhibition, It’s a Beautiful World.
We will be joined for the discussion by the exhibition’s curator and long-time Rhubaba committee member, Peter Ammore and exhibiting artist Jennie Temple. The exhibition includes work by studio artists and artists Rhubaba has previously worked with including: Rupert Ackroyd, Jiri Kovanda, Oscar Charles Laughridge, Fiona Mathison, John Smith, Emma O’Sullivan and Jennie Temple, all of whom, in these works, have highlighted moments of mystery and wonder found within their immediate surroundings.
The artists share an inquisitive and contemplative sensibility exploring the experience of being fascinated by particular objects and situations. Peter will speak to us about the theme behind the exhibition, the artworks and plans for the future.

Spin: Glasgow visit the artist-run gallery and studios, the duchy. Master Slice is a group show of new work by three Glasgow-based artists whose work examines the linguistic nature of an artworks presentation.
Neil Clements‘ work in this exhibition explores how an artwork could be argued to function as a barrier between artist and audience, occluding meaning as much as communicating it. Glasgow School of Art recent graduate Sam Derounian‘s work is founded upon collaged sculptural forms and compositions using screenprinting, painting, and drawing processes. George Ziffo‘s paintings investigate and challenge the boundaries between portraiture and abstraction.
Founded in June of 2009, the duchy is a new non-profit, artist-run gallery and studio space located in two adjoining shop-fronts on Duke Street, Glasgow. Their intention is to support emerging and early career artists committed to their practice, providing space to create and show work.
