Design: A Practice for Everyday Life.
EVENT CANCELLED
We are sorry to advise that next week’s talk with artists Basel Abbas & Ruanne Abou-Rahme is cancelled.
This is due to unforeseen changes in the visa application process, which has made the timing impossible. We will be bringing Basel & Ruanne to Glasgow at a later date in 2020, so please look out for details in our newsletter.
'A Place for the Work and the Human Being' runs throughout 2019 and takes place in a range of venues, new and old, around Glasgow. The series explores the needs, expectations and possibilities of the space for art today and speakers include artists, architects, curators and others.
Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme work together across a range of sound, image, text, installation and performance practices. Their practice is engaged in the intersections between performativity, political imaginaries, the body and virtuality. Across their works they probe a contemporary landscape marked by seemingly perpetual crisis and an endless ‘present’, one that is shaped by a politics of desire and disaster. Recent solo exhibitions include ‘And Yet My Mask is Powerful’, Kunstverein in Hamburg (2018). They were awarded the Sharjah Biennial Prize 2015.
