Would people be interested in a AN Art show?

[Jen-Y]

This sounds like a great idea. Depending on how diverse the show would be i'd be interested in perhaps doing something for it. Just a case of whether, jewellery/garments/general body adornment had a place at this or whether it was gonna be canvas/photography based.

Either way i'd deffo come along for a swatch.

Aye, Big Zombie Lewis knows what he’s on about there.

For smaller places you have the likes of The Arches upstairs bar area, 13th Note, etc. Generally cafés and bars are all that’s open to you.

Are the CCA still the ones running the space along Trongate in front of the theatre?

How about Sloans ballroom, where the Craft Mafia hang out? Ask Toast about that one.

big zombie lewis?


that's my new name now.

official.

There's a "gallery" (read: converted garage run by Art School students) on Renfrew Street, behind the Garage...I attended a "Draw or Die" contest in there with Burrows once. I can imagine it being cheap enough.

Oh, and count me in for showing off art-farty stuff *gets out the spray-paint, overhead-projector and masking tape*

[edit: forgot to mention the name of the gallery, it's called "Lowsalt"]

[Potatojunkie]

That's what that is. I've always wondered.

[Posh]

This thread was funnier than I expected, what with Jaemi/Murray/Al going at it and TSR suggesting we rent out a gallery for £200 a day.

[Connor O'Bain]

Did anything ever happen with this?

I think Forbes was distracted by buying into a nightclub. Give him a nudge next time you talk to him.

I doubt that the Classic Grand would make a good venue for an art show, before anyone suggests that … bit dark for viewing artworks.

Pretty much.

They'd probably get knocked over by over-enthusiastic dancers when some Industrial gets played anyway.

[Young Blood]

it'd be great for video art...

[poprock]

You’re always an exception, and you know it.

[Young Blood]

that's my niche!

additionally i asked forbes AEONS ago to change my name to big zombie lewis...

what's the goss on that eh?

EH?

[poprock]

If I remember right, there’s a charge for changing your username these days. Couple of quid. The reasons for that are lost in the mists of time, but mostly it stops folk pissing around and changing name quite so flippantly. Results in less pisstakes etc.

[Mwezzi]

Results in less pisstakes etc.

It's an awright theory, but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny these days.

I think I've got a better idea. Rather than an art show, what about a single day event? A bit crafts as well as art. Most good things sell on opening night anyway, so why not just have the party and nothing else? Plus the people who do the art are there to sell it to the gullible public. It also means other types of work can be sold, such as Jackie's jewellery and so on. I'm sure other people on here craft. I'll run the WI cake stall.
