The WIP #23: Gee Aye!
The Week in Photos (1-7 June 2023)
This week saw the launch of Glasgow International (aka GI or, as I think of it, Gee Aye!), the contemporary art biennial. I have a lot to say but will do so in a separate post. Suffice to say, it has been intense.
Other than that, it has been cold and sunny (with occasional showers). Amazing that in June many are still wearing winter coats. As a result of the sun, I noticed shadows for the first time in cloudy Glasgow.
More shadows on the plastic casing of the Mack.
The GSA degree show was good this year. It was lovely to finally meet Panda, who I had a slightly contentious discussion about graffiti with last year.
I also liked this cut-out that accompanied an artist’s music video.
And these tents made of freshly-sheared wool.
On Sunday, we popped around to see Alan Dimmick on his birthday. Here is my attempt at a Dimmickian shot of the man himself.
GI started well on Thursday morning with Cathy Wilkes at The Hunterian. Wilkes apparently once owned Alan’s flat.
I also enjoyed being in the Susan Philipsz radio car.
Lots of Felt fans in the audience for Mozart Estate. I am more of a Denim man but this was the next best thing.
I left earlyish (late for me) but it was great to see Brenda.
Some bonus photos for those not on Instagram.
