On Tuesday 8th September, we were given a tour of Glasgow Print Studio by the Production Manager. He talked us through all the different kinds of printing. We were even lucky enough to see 21 Revolutions artist, Ciara Phillips at work, she also gave us a quick chat about her processes.

The full audio of the tour is here.

Katie Bruce: curators talk

Katie bruce

Katie Bruce, curator at GOMA was kind enough to give us a guided tour of the Ripples on the Pond exhibition at GOMA. She offered many insights into the thinking behind the exhibition. We saw how certain works related to each other in terms of concept and process, affecting their position within the exhibition. It was also made clear how the newly acquired 21 Revolutions pieces opened up a conversation with existing works in the GOMA collection.

Here’s the audio recording of the tour:

Links to artists interviews on film

Helen showed us some clips of artists being interviewed about their works. We had a discussion about the types of films people have made about artists – showing them at work making prints with a voice over or interviewed in their private studio whilst the camera looked at their work at objects. Here are the links to the films:

Lou’s interview techniques workshop

Lou's interview techniqesHere is the list of documentaries that Lou used to illustrate different styles of interview techniques.

Anything Can Happen. Dir: Marcel Lozinski (Forget “interviewing”, just talk to them)
House of the Angels. Dir: Margreth Olin (Talking as catalyst)
A Painter’s Eye. Dir: Thomas Riedelsheimer (Interviewing to find what’s outside the frame)
Sisters in Law. Dir: Kim Longinotto (Voices we don’t usually hear)
3 Rooms of Melancholy. Dir: Pirjo Honkasalo (I just love this film and will use any excuse to show it)
Diary of a Serial Killer. Dir: Nick Broomfield (Using interview as shameless manipulation)

Guerilla Girls

Here’s some links about the Guerilla Girls. They are a collective of artists who make protest art to highlight the under-representation of women and ethnic minorities in art, as well as highlighting economic injustices in the art industry. Worth checking out.
