The Mundane Shell
Sharon Thomas & Laurence Figgis
|
11 April - 10 May 2008
|
| Glasgow Print Studio, Main Gallery |
|
The Mundane Shell is a vast Concave Earth…enlarg’d into Dimension…deform’d into indefinite Space..It is a cavernous Earth of labyrinthine intricacy and finishes where the lark mounts.
William Blake, Milton, 1804
Blake’s poem is the starting point for this exhibition; which, by way of handmade and machine-produced art objects seeks to explore both private subjective languages and external political structures.
Sharon Thomas and Laurence Figgis’ visual story-telling unpicks a metaphorical world tenaciously inter-woven with the fabulous yarns of art history, popular culture and literary tradition.

GPS is collaborating with Ricefield to bring to Glasgow, an exhibition of the remarkable woodblock prints of Chen Qi.

The prints we will exhibit will not be at that scale but at two metres square they are still substantial woodblock prints. Each of the works in this exhibition is made with unique delicacy and outstanding ingenuity employing traditional printmaking techniques to create works monumental in size.
During this exhibition the artist will hold a master class in Chinese woodblock printmaking

Masako’s work investigates the relationship between advertising and consumer culture. By employing various printmaking techniques, she has developed work that is both conceptual and visual while exploring, through print, how art translates into mass production and how transforming art into something immediate to be experienced in the everyday rather than just to be viewed affects our expectations of it and reactions to it.

Harvest - Muhammed Atif Khan
|
25 - 28 June 2008
|
| Glasgow Print Studio, Gallery III |
|
"My works are narrative in nature. One can find recognizable objects and symbols in them, which denote obvious meanings. These can lead the viewer to find hidden messages.
Images of diverse and contrasting environments are juxtaposed in one space, subverting their original contextual meaning and suggesting new messages."

Blessure Graphique - Sebastien Marciak
|
4 -12 July 2008
|
| Glasgow Print Studio, 48 King Street |
|
To open the body is to question its sanctity. From the earliest pursuits in the study of anatomy, there was opened a wound in the body as an ideal.
In the same way, questioning the traditional process of engraving opens a wound in the Beau métier.
Working with the body is a way to question the engraving process and to establish a contemporary printmaking practice between the incisions made in the body and those made in the plate.
French artist Sebastien Marciak has been working at GPS for the past six months to produce this series of large scale works that feature a combination of digital, woodblock and engraving techniques.
