Long Gallery Exhibitions
The Tron's Long Gallery is programmed by Glasgow Print Studio:
11 October - 11 December
KEN CURRIE
Currie’s images have moved from a philosophical outlook which had strong positive dimensions to one characterized by his own term “rational despair”. He has a fatalistic view about human nature and Currie’s art reflects “The Dark Times” the present world is living through - his titles alone give warning of this. Currie is undoubtedly one of the most powerful and evocative artists of our time.
13 December - 12 February
PETER HOWSON
Peter Howson studied at Glasgow School of Art between 1975 and 1981 alongside Ken Currie, Adrian Wisniewski and Steven Campbell, before returning to complete his Masters in 1979. In 1993 he was appointed the official war artist for Bosnia, where he produced some of his most shocking and controversial work detailing the atrocities which were taking place at the time. Much of his work cast stereotypes on the lower social groups and was shown in major exhibitions at the Imperial War Museum, London and Bosnian Harvest at the Glasgow Print Studio.
13 February - 15 April
ROBERT McSPADYEN
Godard said all you need to make a film is a girl and a gun. This credo plays out obsessively through Robert McSpadyen's vivid seductive screenprints which re-imagine Warhol's Factory run by a co-op of Cahiers du Cinema, Kenneth Anger and Creem Magazine. Robert is building a shrine to the deeply personal pantheon of the late 20th century's sharpest icons, all abstracted into impossibly vivid Technicolour. The titles of the prints set up a pop culture feedback loop that tells you everything you need to know about the images: dazzling reflections from a hall of mirrors where a superheated dialogue between rock'n'roll and cinema echoes into infinity.
