Locations
CCA and Tramway are two of Glasgow's most renowned venues for
contemporary visual art. Although both organisations present work by
Scottish and international artists, their programmes reflect the very
different scale, character and focus of the venues themselves.
You are between here and there is a unique exhibition involving artists
who have exhibited at, or are currently working with, CCA and Tramway.
Within the context of Glasgow's Art Fair, this exhibition provides an
opportunity to see and buy work by some of the most successful
Glasgow-based and international artists working today.
CCA showcases the best of new digital art. Featured work includes
Hypnogogia: Two Waking Dreams - interactive net art by Crankbunny
and 6amhoover with music by Stuart Braithwaite and John Cummings of
Mogwai; The Bloody Chamber by 6amhoover, an actionscript flash
animation where the viewer veers between reader, (inter) actor, witness
and sometime voyeur; Crankbunny - an evolving internet project about
the future and the evolution of human emotion as the machine is
introduced more and more; Barcelona internet pioneers Jodi with Untitled
Game, a CD to download as seen in CCA's re-opening exhibition Words &
Things; The Icelandic Love Corporation who have been making
exhibitions, installations, videos and performances across Europe since
1996 and Calum Stirling and Rob Kennedy, two Glasgow based artists
who have collaborated for this show to produce digital and sound work.
CCA is Scotland's international centre for contemporary arts. Located in
Sauchiehall Street in the heart of a vibrant Glasgow, CCA embraces all
contemporary art forms including visual art, music, film, performance,
dance and spoken word.
Tramway presents work by Glasgow and internationally based artists
made since June 2000 as a direct result of its unique commissioning
programme. The collaborative group Henry VIII's Wives show work which
links with their new Tramway exhibition Light without shadow (opening on
Thursday 11 April). The six artists, Rachel Dagnall, Bob Grieve, Sirko
Knüpfer, Simon Polli, Per Sander and Lucy Skaer, met while students of
the Environmental Art department at Glasgow School of Art and the group
was formed in 1997. Sally Osborn has included a series of drawings and
cutouts produced as a result of a residency and exhibition at Tramway in
the summer of 2000. Mick Peter presents sculptural and mixed media
work shown during the exhibition Ways of Doing the Night in September
2001 and David Sherry includes a video work produced for the solo show
Comfortably Being Alive in May of the same year.
Tramway is renowned internationally for both its visual and performing
arts programme. Situated on the south side of the city, the venue
houses one of the largest single galleries in Europe, a project room
gallery, studio spaces and two theatres.
CCA, Tramway and the Glasgow Art Fair are part of RAW: Real Art
Weekend - a wider programme of visual arts exhibitions and activity
taking place in Glasgow between 10th - 14th April.
