CONSTRUCTS

Sat 5th Sept - 11th Sept

CS features a selection of emerging artists working in a variety of disciplines and aims to bring together work that references or finds its inspiration from the structures, materials and forms of our man-made surroundings. Featuring both the work of artists whose practice naturally fits this theme, as well as those who have created new works specifically for the show. The exhibition is a celebration of architecture, engineering, geometry and construction. The 13 artists have responded the show title using sculpture, installation, drawing, painting, performance, photography and video.

The exhibition has been organised and selected by artist Ric Warren and features the work of 13 emerging artists. With the exception of Joel Dever (University of the Arts London), all artists have at some point spent time studying at The Glasgow School of Art and many now hold studios at Clydebrae Studios in Govan. The show is an attempt to bring together different generations of GSA's recent output, giving graduates with various levels of experience the opportunity to exhibit together and share skills / knowledge. CONSTRUCTS has been put together with a very limited budget with no outside / public funding. The exhibition relies on the hard work and commitment of all involved and particular thanks goes to The White House for hosting the show.

NATALIE LAMBERT

Administration

22nd Aug - 29th Aug 2009

We are delighted to be opening our latest creation by artist Natalie Lambert.

Natalie has been in residence for the last 3 weeks and we are delighted to be opening the WhiteHouse to let the public see what marvelous, thought provoking, work natalie has created specifically in the space.

Here Natalie has has constructed a space of diminishing, in height, strings horizontaly fastened across the space only broken by the voided space left by the vertical columns in the centre of the White House. This leaves the viewer a little perturbed by the shifting volume of the space and the rising lines of string above them and infront.

We would like to thank Natalie for a wonderful installation and although the work was down all too soon we hope she got as much from the project as we got from her.
