Pecha Kucha 27: Artist in the City Curated by Glasgow International
–
Glasgow International is a festival known for its multitude of venues and diversity of artistic practices within them. Throughout the 2016 festival, you can see a number of ambitious solo and group exhibitions from established and emerging artists as well as performances and events. It is a place to discover art and to view important works from around the world.
For this special event, Glasgow International will curate a unique PechaKucha night at The Whisky Bond, an evening given over to artists from across this year’s programme, to introduce and discuss their work. The venues, organisations and artists in Glasgow International are all fundamentally shaped by the character of the city in which they are based, and this event allows us the opportunity to hear directly from these artists about their practice, their influences, their motivations, and what it’s like to make work in this city.
On the night we’ll be hearing from:
Marco Giordano
Patrick Cole
Erica Eyres
Ric Warren
Sam Venables
Alexander Storey Gordon
Deuce Deuce
Beth Shapeero & Alys Owen
Gordon Douglas

Tickets £6/4 available via Eventbrite
