A new programme has opened at the Gallery of Modern Art containing works from multiple artists inspired by the moving image. Moving Image Season will show works from Katy Dove, Stephen Hurrel and Ruth Brennan, and Phil Collins. The programme runs until August 2015 and will see each artist have works on display in Gallery 1 one after the other.
Moving Image Season is free to access and was launched with four selected animation works from the late Glasgow based artist and musician Katy Dove. Dove’s four works are part of the upcoming exhibition at Gallery of Modern Art called Ripples on the Pond which is a collection of Glasgow Museums owned works by female artists set to open at the end of April. In May Moving Image Season will change to present a new audio-video installation, Clyde Reflections, by artist Stephen Hurrel and social ecologist Ruth Brennan. The project comprises of several interviews with different people about their relationship with the marine environment around the Firth of Clyde. The final instalment of Moving Images Season comes from Phil Collins with Tomorrow is Always Too Long. Incorporating animation and a star studded soundtrack this project provides a distinctive vision of Glasgow from the people who make up the heart and soul of the city.
Councillor Archie Graham, Chair of Glasgow Life, said: “The Gallery of Modern Art continues to be one of Glasgow’s most popular cultural venues and the exciting summer ahead of exhibitions and events shows yet again how the city offers the very best art from a range of platforms to residents and visitors alike. Fittingly this exciting new programme at GoMA will get to the heart of the rich heritage, culture, and landscape of Glasgow and Scotland’s places and people.”
Isla Lever Yap, from LUX Scotland, a dedicated support agency for artists working with moving image, said: “That Katy Dove's work opens the Moving Image Season as part of the upcoming exhibition 'Ripples on the Pond' -- an ambitious and emotionally expressive GoMA project -- is testament to the vibrant lyricism of Dove's work and its capacity to build associative and symphonic links to diverse creative activities: animation, music, collage and a key aspect of both her practice and 'Ripples on the Pond': collaboration.”
Stephen Hurrel and Ruth Brennan, the creative duo behind Clyde Reflections, said: "We are delighted that Clyde Reflections has found a temporary home at GoMA as part of the upcoming Moving Image Season. Our approach to producing this film was to interview a diverse range of people connected to the Firth of Clyde as a way of gathering different perceptions of this important marine environment. It seems fitting that the film will be seen in a central gallery that attracts such a broad range of people, and in a city that is connected to the subject of the film by the River Clyde that flows through it."
Moving Images Season is free to access and is on from 16 April – 17 August at the Gallery of Modern Art. Please visit www.glasgowlife.org.uk for full details.
