All Probability Resolves Into Form (GI)
When the Glasgow International comes around, I always think of The Common Guild. I like it because it is a bit like going round to someone's house, only they have got a load of art scattered about the place. It feels very Glaswegian: the casual familiarity with high concept visual art, and using spaces that are a bit of a change from the clean white space of the traditional gallery.
Their GI entry is from Gabriel Kuri: it is called All probability resolves into form. Press release begins...
4 April - 7 June 2014
21 Woodlands Terrace, Glasgow, G3 6DF
An exhibition of new work by the internationally acclaimed Mexican artist Gabriel Kuri and the first presentation of his work in Scotland. Kuri is known for works that use ordinary objects and materials to address the very nature of sculpture and explore the relationship between use and value.
Kuri regularly combines commonplace objects with his own sculptural components to create installations that, as Kate Bush writes, “refuse any hierarchy between the stuff of every day and the stuff of art”. His exhibition at The Common Guild will involve the juxtaposition of a series of sculptural forms with found and donated materials. Items of basic necessity - such as blankets, sleeping bags and toiletries - will be arranged within a group of formal elements made by the artist, highlighting the use, value and ownership of objects as they wait to be put to use.
Please Donate!
As part of Gabriel Kuri's exhibition, The Common Guild is seeking donations of materials of basic necessity. All donations will be passed on to the GLAD Action Network and the Unity Centre, Glasgow, and other organisations dealing with homelessness and disaster.
We are looking for:
• sleeping bags
• clean blankets and linen (sheets, pillow-cases, towels)
• toiletries: soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes (unused)
Unfortunately we cannot accept any items other than those listed above.
Please bring donations to:
The Common Guild
21 Woodlands Terrace
Glasgow, G3 6DF
From: 17 - 28 March
Between: 10am - 6pm Monday – Friday
or call 0141 428 3022 to arrange collection.
