Scotland’s biennial festival of contemporary visual art Exhibitions Performances Events

9th Edition

glasgowinternational.org @Gifestival #Gi2020

Glasgow international 24 April –– 10 May 2020

Admission Free

I am delighted to introduce the ninth edition of Glasgow International, Scotland’s biennial festival that celebrates contemporary visual art from artists living and working right here in Glasgow as well as introducing new work by artists from around the world. Glasgow is a city where art is risk-taking and internationally significant, and Glasgow International plays a vital role in supporting artists and audiences, providing a unique platform to showcase the city and its visual art offering at its very best. Glasgow International has a particularly important role to play in nurturing Glasgow’s extraordinary artistic ecology. In 2020, this has been supported for the first time through a grant from the Scottish Government’s Festivals EXPO fund, enabling the festival to champion artistic excellence and provide an international platform for more of Glasgow’s artists. This year, as part of Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters 2020, Glasgow International is navigating the Forth and Clyde Canal, where a new film by Glasgowbased artist Alberta Whittle is a particular highlight. GI 2020 takes place at a moment when Scotland’s place in the world could not feel more significant, when international dialogue and exchange are vital to maintaining the dynamism and inclusiveness of our nation. I look forward to being inspired by artists bringing critical thinking and insight to these complex political times.

Glasgow is a city where the production and dissemination of world-class contemporary art is part of our life-blood. It’s built into the DNA of the city. Audiences are hungry for the ambitious and challenging work that is being made in studios, workshops and galleries in every part of the city. Glasgow International is the critical moment when we invite artists and visitors from around the world to join us in celebrating this extraordinary and inspiring community, when we showcase Scottish contemporary art to the world. As outlined in Glasgow’s Culture Plan currently under consultation, Glasgow International is a key component of the city’s vibrant cultural ecology, directly contributing to the future health, prosperity and sustainability of our city and its people. The exhibitions also allow us to experience Glasgow’s cultural institutions in different ways. Watch out for GI in Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Kelvin Hall, Tramway and GoMA among many others. Glasgow International is also building on work taking place across the city. In 2019, Glasgow has supported an artist in residence in every ward, echoing our ambition to ensure that every member of our community has access to great art and culture.

#Gi2020 @Gifestival

Welcome to the ninth edition of Glasgow International. The theme for 2020 is Attention and the festival is a chance to see what artists both in Glasgow and across the world are turning their – and our – attention to right now. So often today we are glued to our phones and other screens that we become beholden to the feed in one form or another, whether it be social media or news. This festival is a chance to reflect on that – to take a step back and appreciate how artists invite us to look at the world in different ways, to see what we might be missing. To pay something attention is to bestow the value of our concentration and time upon it. To attend to someone or something is to express care. This could be an act of love, but equally an act of futility, as in the case of Sisyphus pushing his rock up a mountain. Attention is both a theme but also a way of looking, thinking and approaching the world and the work of artists – with effort, depth and over a span of time. It offers a framework or methodology for thinking through some of the urgencies of today; today’s urgencies that are likely to remain tomorrow’s. The festival is a special moment, a crescendo in the creative rhythm of the city – it is a burst of energy, but one that also offers opportunities to pause and take stock. It is also the sum of an extraordinary collaborative effort, and would not happen without the practical and moral support of colleagues and friends in Glasgow, Scotland, and further afield. Although there are too many people to mention here, particular acknowledgment must be given to the festival’s Advisory Board chaired by Leonie Bell, and our key funders: Glasgow Life, Creative Scotland, the Scottish Government and EventScotland, whose ongoing investments have allowed GI to become the internationally recognised event that it is. We’d like to extend particular thanks to colleagues at Glasgow Museums and Tramway for their support and partnership in helping to realise commissions and exhibitions. Also, sincere thanks to those funders who have made contributions in 2020 including Art Fund, Canada Council for the Arts, SWG3, British Council, Outset, Henry Moore Foundation and the Bridget Riley Art Foundation, as well as Sigrid and Stephen Kirk, and other individual patrons and sponsors who have given so generously to this festival edition. This is by no means an exhaustive list and I would urge people to explore the pages of this guide and the acknowledgements section at the back to appreciate the extensive community of engagement that enables a festival like GI to happen. We are hugely indebted to Eoin Dara, Hanne Mugaas and Alberta Whittle, the selectors for the Across the City programme, who approached an almost impossible task with insight and consideration. However, above all, our thanks must go to the artists and the artistic community of Glasgow for their unique and extraordinary work that must be the focus of all our attention.

Taking place across spaces at SWG3, the programme includes Paul Maheke, who is showing a new performance commissioned by The Renaissance Society in Chicago, . Lina Lapelyte, fresh from winning the 2019 Venice Biennale . . Golden Lion (with collaborators Rugile Barzdžiukaite and . Vaiva Grainyte), and Nina Beier who is presenting an extract of a major new performance commission taking place at MO.CO. in Montpellier in April. Each artist is engaging with different registers of attention throughout the evening, whether through the flickering presence of dancers, plays on folk, pop and opera, or the vulnerability of a changing world. The presentation at GI marks the beginning of a new phase in DRAF’s work, collaborating across the UK with institutional partners to share their work more broadly and to wider audiences. . .

Centre and North

For his first solo exhibition in Europe, Canadian artist Nep Sidhu presents a body of work embedded in Sikh metaphysics and histories to explore relationships between memory, memorial and the divine. At once personal yet also forged within a strong sense of community, the work is inspired by ancestral bonds and present-day resonances, bringing forward a sense of ritual, kinship and seva (selfless service). Sidhuâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finely honed works incorporate a wide variety of media including tapestry, metal, earth and video. Sidhu merges his artistic practice with his musical interests and inspirations, including jazz musician

Centre and North

and composer Alice Coltrane who in later years became a swamini, or Hindu ascetic. Running throughout is the idea of deep rhythms and a sense of both the spiritual and the earthly. While the works invite multiple perspectives and readings, at their core is a desire for healing and awakening; call and response.

Kalunga is a presentation of artworks produced by non-hegemonic identities, located methodologically between anthropology and art criticism. The proposal is to activate global and local memories through cognitive schema contra to the hegemonic logic of Western imperialism.

Seher Shah Argument from Silence Glasgow Print Studio presents Argument from Silence, Seher Shah’s first solo exhibition in Scotland. Shah’s practice combines her experiences in the fields of art and architecture to explore the poetics and fractures of space.

Working across photography and other media, Zimbabwe-born, Dundee-based Machache engages with the psychological sensation that one’s identity is divided into multiple parts. Nairobi-based Onyango takes an experimental approach that often results in mixed media pieces and installations based upon film and photography.

Being about work, the exhibition is also necessarily about time – the absence or abundance of it – and about the spaces between violence and reverie.

Luke Fowler Two 16mm films by Luke Fowler are on show at The Modern Institute’s gallery on Osborne Street. Fowler’s film portraits often hinge on neglected public figures or movements which have been marginalised, erased or misrepresented by contemporary culture. These two new works mark a turn away from this previous focus: both take as their subject matter the domestic archives of letters and notes created by the artist’s parents.

Denise Ferreira da Silva, Arjuna Neuman Soot Breath/Corpus Infinitum Arjuna Neuman and Denise Ferreira da Silva’s latest film, Soot Breath / Corpus Infinitum, continues their interest in reimagining histories of knowledge away from Eurocentric and colonial origins. The film gathers a variety of examples where subjectivity is unbound from the body alone, and rebound to the world. It scales between the cultural, organic, quantum and cosmic – all the while tracking the element of earth through its many forms and facets.

Featuring talks, discussion, a performance lecture and participatory workshop, the symposium delves into multiple conceptions of attention. The programme has been influenced both by pioneering Scottish physiologist, Norman H. Mackworth, who created the first apparatus for measuring vigilance in the 1940s, and also by the spiritual and memorial power of the vigil, which has traditionally linked attention to waiting and time.

Andrew Sim Heal the Sick, Raise the Dead Often small in scale but rich in narrative power, the works of Glasgow-based artist Andrew Sim traverse the lines between personal and collective queerness. Working predominantly in pastel on paper, Sim brings together mythical creatures, ancient archetypes, and pop culture references to create worlds that are at once familiar and unsettling. The resulting works address issues around mental health while situating queer histories within a variety of occult traditions. Supported by Glasgow International

Canal Programme Developed in partnership with Glasgow Sculpture Studios, Glasgow International’s Canal Programme includes a major new commission by Glasgow-based artist Alberta Whittle, exhibited as installations in both The Engine Works and a studio space at National Theatre of Scotland. Whittle is showing both her new commission, alongside the existing video works sorry, not sorry (2018) and what sound does the black atlantic make (2019) and sculptural works. Further related activities are taking place on and around the canal including workshops with local community groups, talks, guided tours, performances, and film screenings. The programme offers visitors the opportunity to discover important overlooked stories relating to the industrial legacy of Glasgow’s canals. Information about the project is available to collect from Navvies’ Barge, a canal boat moored at the Applecross Wharf, with canal boat tours available on selected dates in the festival.

Alberta Whittle business as usual: hostile environment Alberta Whittle’s new work is informed by collective thinking, making and discussion with women from Maryhill Integration Network’s Joyous Choir and groups from Carnival Arts. Whittle’s new film, business as usual: hostile environment, explores the ways that political and ecological climates shape one another. Dispersed across three interconnected sites along Glasgow’s Forth and Clyde Canal, the work utilises the physical canal infrastructure as both a literal and poetic route through which to reflect on the role of waterways in the voluntary and involuntary movement of people. Through creating a movable and mutating encounter, the project highlights the dual nature of environment as a set of conditions capable of both hostility and nurture.

Carol Rhodes See the World Carol Rhodes (1959 – 2018) was a Glasgow-based artist known for her paintings of partly fictive, human-made landscapes – combinations of the natural and the artificial, suspended between intimacy and estrangement. This first posthumous solo exhibition focuses on Rhodes’ rarely exhibited drawings alongside key paintings and invites close examination of her artistic processes and preoccupations. Her works focus on topographic blind spots and peripheries, ‘non-places’ such as service stations, airports, railway depots, development centres, trade parks and brown-field industrial belts. These are environments often associated with the flow of material and labour, storage and distribution, the mining of natural resources, or the deposit of industrial waste and byproduct. Human activity is everywhere, yet human beings themselves do not feature, and the place and state of the psyche is highly ambiguous. Rhodes drew upon various sources, from geography textbooks and environmental surveys to urban planning manuals and her own photographs taken from helicopters and planes. The distance and detachment of the aerial viewpoint is critical: absence and displacement are themes throughout.

France-Lise McGurn Aloud France-Lise McGurn’s newly commissioned installation draws on her personal experiences of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum; the hours she spent there as a child and then later as an adult, inhabiting but also observing. In particular, Albert Moore’s well-loved painting, Reading Aloud (1884), has provided a point of departure for McGurn: especially the positioning and postures of the models, its textures and ambiguous lack of urgency or context. McGurn’s figurative practice delivers a wholly immersive experience, launching the viewer into a three-dimensional world of archetypal women and men, often portrayed in a state of undress, reclining in both ecstasy and agony. Sometimes they appear tense and attentive, sometimes languid, bathed in an air of euphoria. In McGurn’s new work, her fluid application of paint breaks from the canvas, emerging unrestrained across sculptural forms on the museum balcony. The compositional layering of paint onto transparent Perspex panels directly reflects the exposure of private lives and intimacy so frequently at play in McGurn’s work.

Duncan Campbell For his new commission, Turner Prize-winning artist Duncan Campbell presents us with a giant electromagnetic mechanical display. Akin to a message board at a railway station, airport, or stock exchange, the screen creates highly pixelated moving images, somewhere between animation, film and drawing, but on a cinematic scale. In conjunction with this is a recorded voice that tries to order information and present it to us. In attempting to corral all this visual data, the work interrogates the relationship between memory and what appears on the screen. Campbell’s new commission draws upon his own earlier works such as Falls Burns Malone Fiddles (2004) and It for Others (2013). Both these earlier works and Campbell’s new installation express an interest in values and a repressed instinct of biographical curiosity. Key touchstones are the novels of Samuel Beckett, which seem suspended in mid-air between oppressive container and a yearning for containment.

Ana Mazzei Drama O’Rama: Other Scenes Ana Mazzei’s first commission for a public institution in Scotland is a large-scale site-specific installation. The Brazilian artist presents an unfurling series of rooms, filled with abstracted sculptural forms each pertaining to states of mind, which taken together suggest an open-ended narrative. At once vivid in colour and offering shifts in perspective and viewpoint, each room could be a twist in a plot or a figment from a dream or memory. There is a deliberate sense of somehow being caught in a choreographed game, with sculptures that take on their own vocabulary of forms, conjuring half-remembered episodes or fragmented mythologies.

West and South West

As part of the Pictures Generation (a group of 1970s New York media artists), pioneering US artist Gretchen Bender (1951-2004) questioned the politics of entertainment and mass media products. Early on, in the 1980s, her works offered an outlook upon the coming revolution of the digital and its multiple impacts upon contemporary culture: accelerated globalisation, increasing levels of surveillance, the corporate production of desire, and the 24/7 newsfeed culture we experience today.

Total Recall (1987) is a monumental multichannel video installation. It assembles twenty-four stacked TV monitors and three projection screens to present a compelling eighteen-minute performance of moving images. Sourced from US TV commercials as well as Hollywood films, the footage is edited to a rapid beat in order to create a pulsing stream of visual over-stimulation. Benderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, presented in Scotland for the first time, is a truly immersive experience that critically reflects on the power of media. Supported by The Block and Robert Longo

Moment Memory Monument (2017) is a large-scale sculptural performance installation situated within the setting of the Time and Memory Research laboratory, transplanted into the Galvanizers, a former warehouse space at SWG3. At the centre of the work is ‘The Sphere’, a giant brain-like sculptural form with a soft and embracing interior. Moment Memory Monument revisits a scenario from Alain Resnais’ darkly surrealist sci-fi film Je t’aime, Je t’aime (1968), in which

scientists test a time machine on a man who has recently attempted suicide, thereby forcing him to relive his real or imagined memories. In the exhibition, it is visitors who are invited to enter ‘The Sphere’, where they listen to a tale which takes them on an otherworldly journey.

Christian Noelle Charles, Liv Fontaine, William Joys, Wassili Widmer Hubris Civic Room presents Hubris, a programme of performances taking place at arts, music and events space SWG3. In ancient Greece, hubris signified an overreaching arrogance that angered the gods and led to the offender’s downfall. Here, in new works by Christian Noelle Charles, Liv Fontaine, William Joys, and Wassili Widmer, hubris can be an act of transgression, one that challenges social norms in a way that may be inhumane or all too human.

Yuko Mohri Such is the delicacy of Japanese artist Yuko Mohri’s work that it is often activated by only the tiniest vibrations or movements around the installations, which involve elements of sound, sculpture and kinetics. Set within the magnificent Pyramid congregation hall – now a deconsecrated space – this new installation incorporates microphones and a piano. The work involves a feedback loop, whereby the piano will ‘interpret’ and play back the sounds it ‘hears’ within the room, whether they be footsteps or the hubbub of chatter. The work shifts our focus away from sight and towards what comes through our ears. Mohri’s work is location- and event-specific. It incorporates elements of chance involving whoever might be visiting on a given day. In this way there is an echo of the pioneering work of John Cage: the inclusion of the piano reminds us of Cage’s most infamous work, 4´33”, in which the pianist plays nothing and the sound of the audience comprises the music.

Sarah Forrest Are we seeing what we’re supposed to see? What clues are being hinted at and how are we, the viewer or reader, caught up in the narrative? This new work by Glasgow-based artist Sarah Forrest takes on the detective novel as its starting point in order to unravel how our attention is shifted when we are on the trail of a sleuthing mystery. In detecting, the act of inquiry means that our senses become heightened as every object encountered could be laced with apparent or hidden meanings. The detective novel supposes that logic will ultimately triumph over dark forces. We are led from A to B to C in a sequence that foregrounds rationality and precision. It is the triumph of close looking. And yet in many instances the detective is male and presented as a kind of rational saviour. This patriarchal trait is subverted and problematised in Forrest’s tightly wrought new work. Supported by Glasgow School of Art (GSA)

Bodys Isek Kingelez

Tramway T5 25 Albert Drive G41 2PE

Based in then-Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo), Bodys Isek Kingelez (1948 – 2015) created sculptures of imagined buildings and cityscapes that propose fantastical, utopian models for a more harmonious future society. Working in a period of socio-political shifts, Kingelez responded to an urgent need to transform urban reality.

Fri 24 April – Sun 10 May Mon – Fri, 12pm – 5pm Sat – Sun, 12pm – 6pm

From the late 1970s until 1985 Kingelez worked as a selftaught art restorer at the Institut des Musées Nationaux du Zaïre, which gave him access to supplies and materials, and

a base to refine his practice. He created works from a variety of everyday and found materials such as coloured paper, cardboard, plastic and tape, meticulously repurposed in order to radically rethink the world around him. Shown for the first time in a UK solo exhibition, Kingelez’s ‘extreme maquettes’ are vibrant, ambitious and highly detailed sculptures. These inventive works raise questions around difficult issues of urban planning, economic inequity, nationhood

and national identity – resonating profoundly within today’s contemporary societies – while remaining innately infused with potential. Kingelez’s work was included in the groundbreaking 1989 exhibition Magiciens de la terre at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and has most recently been exhibited in the first largescale solo presentation of his work, City Dreams (2018-2019) at MoMA, New York.

Martine Syms S1:E4 S1:E4 is a new episode in Martine Syms’ project SHE MAD (2015-ongoing), in which the artist incorporates elements of the sitcom format and past TV series to explore ‘the sign of blackness in the public imagination’. Presented in the form of a giant widescreen projection encompassing one wall of Tramway’s largest gallery, the work follows the character of Martine, described as an ‘overachieving, stoner graphic designer who lives in Hollywood and wishes she were an important artist’. In this iteration the focus is on a ‘micro-aggression’ at a client’s party, triggering a flashback to the summer of 2000, when Martine was a camper at T-Zone, a week-long empowerment programme for teenage girls founded by a supermodel and business mogul.

Jenkin van Zyl In Vitro We arrive into a chamber of cake ‘heads’ – grotesque masklike baked goods in fridges – and thus begins a journey into the witty and bacchanalian world of Jenkin van Zyl. Taking on the dungeon-like qualities of Tramway’s T4 Theatre, the artist creates an immersive installation comprising both sculpture and video, inviting viewers into a scenario involving amongst other things airplane fuselage to impress a sense of claustrophobia, sexual ecstasy, hysteria and ‘folk horror’. At the heart of the installation is a new film which introduces us to characters enacting looped rituals of reproduction and self-pollination in an effort to achieve community, individuation and re-enchantment. The work seeks to indulge in but also problematise the spectacle of transgression. Pulling together at once pleasure, pain and hope, van Zyl uses camp and humour to subvert societal expectations, and imagine what abundance and joy could mean outside the cycles of physical reproduction and consumption. For the artist ‘the hope of pretending is that, with enough time and practise, the performance becomes you’. Supported by Henry Moore Foundation

Georgina Starr Quarantaine Quarantaine is an ambitious new film by Georgina Starr. Its title refers to the French word for ‘forty’, and also alludes to the period of enforced isolation known in English as ‘quarantine’ (so-called because of its original forty-day timeframe). Over the course of multiple chapters, it follows the story of two new recruits to a clandestine sisterhood whose pursuit of esoteric knowledge takes place in a secret place of instruction, similarly cut off from the world outside. Contrasting what seems like a cult-like focus on strict supervision and mind-control with other more unruly rituals of mind expansion and extrasensory perception, Quarantaine continues Starr’s preoccupation with the otherworldly and the occult, and her longstanding interests in the visionary aspects of experimental cinema, to further her exploration of the hidden recesses of the creative imagination. Co-commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella, The Hunterian, University of Glasgow, Leeds Art Gallery and Glasgow International with Art Fund support through the Moving Image Fund for Museums. This programme is made possible thanks to Thomas Dane Gallery and a group of private galleries and individuals.

A leading figure in Britain’s BLK Art Group of the 1980s, Rodney was renowned for appropriating images from popular culture in order to explore issues of racial identity and racism.

The resulting group exhibition has been woven together by an exploration of fabric and textile, invoking the personal stories of the individual artists involved, whilst reflecting on our broader social fabric. Drawing on fabric’s associations with constructions of womanhood and identity, Fabric of Society creates and interrogates narratives which are – variously – personal, collective and universal.

Graham Fagen Ping Pong Club Graham Fagen represented Scotland at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015. His latest project started with an archive: letters, notes, name tags and invitations, collected over 20 years, all bearing Fagen’s name, spelt incorrectly. They come from airlines, football clubs, the BBC, and even the Prime Minister of the UK. For Fagen, this archive raises questions beyond bureaucratic ineptitude; it touches upon the formation of identity, and the relationships between archives and subjectivity, fiction and the law.

Unveiled in 1983 and widely celebrated, it nonetheless fell into disrepair and was decommissioned in 2004. Art duo Zoe Walker and Neil Bromwich are working with residents to bring physical fragments of the mosaic back to life through performative walks and an exhibition, in order to uncover the radical working-class history of this lost community artwork.
