Glasgow International Festival brings the art of local and international artists to Glasgow for a stimulating two-week burst of exhibitions across the city, starting on the 16th of April until May 3rd 2010.
Visual art happens all year round in Glasgow but for two weeks every two years, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art puts it firmly in the spotlight. From artists’ studios through to major museums and a vast range of venues new and old, the festival is the perfect moment to get to know more about contemporary art and how and where it takes place in Glasgow.
The festival gives special attention to Susan Philipsz this year, who is interested in the way sound revives memory. Susan Philipsz has been commissioned by GI to create a new, site-specific outdoor sound work on the banks of the River Clyde. This work will be on display for the duration of the festival. The opening of the festival will be by filmmaker Douglas Gordon with a new video-installation: 24 Hours Psycho. During these two weeks there will be much more work to see from other artists like David Shirgley, Kevin Atherton, Kate DavisLila de Magalhaes.
