Art in Glasgow: short film screening

The Art in Glasgow short film programme is made up of both archive films that reference cultural spaces on and around Sauchiehall Street, and contemporary artist films. The archive film material is made up of The Glasgow School of Art (1957) by Eddie McConnell which documents GSA by students of the time. The silent short film will be played alongside a bespoke soundtrack by Andrew Wasylyk and Tommy Perman, featuring new music and reimagined versions of their previous collaborations. Also screening is an archive STV documentary film on the artist John Byrne from 1975. Viewers will get insight into Byrne's work with Gerry Rafferty and Billy Connolly, his beginnings at Glasgow School of Art, forays into public art in Partick, and his solo show that took place at The Third Eye Centre which opened in that year, curated by Tom McGrath.
