Happy birthday Hannah Frank (born August 23, 1908) .
I met Hannah around five or six years ago when I visited her with my friend and neighbour Fiona (her neice - pictured here). She was then preparing to move with her now late husband ,Lionel Levy, into a care home, and her drawings, prints and sculptures had to be organised/distributed/catalogued etc. They were still in their long time very scottish 1920s villa - it was a great privilige to be shown round the fantastic house, stuffed with art works, by this tiny but energetic 94 year old. We hatched a plan to try to get her work all together and shown again before it was spread across the country/globe. That was my only input - helping generate the idea, getting Hannah on board (didn't need much!) and then leaving all the work to the tireless and dedicated Fiona.
The thing that captured Hannah's enthusiasm most was the prospect of a show in her Glasgow home city, but the "waiting list" once the galleries were interested, was five years. We weren't confident that that would be soon enough for Hannah, but with stubborn optimism, plans went ahead, and as a back up and preparation, Fiona generated interest in Boston (US), a Jewish Heritage gallery in London, and some smaller galleries in our home town (Lancaster) and elsewhere in the UK. Since then, there've been books and radio shows and now, finally, Hannah's managed to hold out (looked a bit shaky about a year ago) and make her centenary, and is here at her Glasgow show on the eve of her hundredth birthday.
These photos are no more than snatched snaps during private view of the exhibition now running in Glasgow University's Chapel, but I hope they capture the excitement of the occasion and the importance of this woman's contribution to Glasgow's artistic heritage. Hannah was on great form and clearly enjoyed the event, though she was not always convinced that all this fuss was in her honour.

Inspired by Explosions in the Sky, The Earth is not a cold dead place is the second exhibition that I have created. In response to the end of the final Mayan calender and the common misconceptions that the end of the world coincide with this, The Earth is not a cold dead place is a positive response to a negative collective attitude. Ali Reed, Barbara Witkowska, Kornelia Herms and Ben Macdonald-Evans were selected because of our shared interest in utopian and dystopian themes. Minimalism, psychology, romanticism and the reinvention of space Each intrigue me as both an artist and a curator, and I find that the selection of artists each embody my own attitudes on these subjects, though each execute these themes in their own unique styles that are both aesthetically impressive and conceptually mature.
There is also an underlying theme, a little more subtle, that unifies this selection of artists. Architecture plays a major role in Human life; it has helped us to inhabbit some of the most inhospitable places on Earth.
Somewhere between functionality and novelty, there is an intriguing duality between necessity and commodity; as our needs change, so do our requirements. In the Western world our understanding of safety and comfort are increasingly becoming dependant upon novelties and abstract concepts, like currency, which is currently in a state of turmoil. Architecture will survive long after such ideas and buildings will continue to stand as historical monuments to the ingenuity of Mankind; epitaphs of our achievements and knowledge.
This catalogue serves as a showcase for each of the four practitioners. It explores their interests, research and development methods and technical processes of creation the have culminated in the work exhibited in The Earth is not a cold dead place.

I was incredibly proud to exhibit some of my work at SG5Art's current exhibition, "Mayhem" see more images from the private view party. Fantastic to meet my flickrfriend NaughtonLucy who came to the party.
I love my art. I did a degree in Fine Art many years ago. and i;m a very visual person.
we've been collecting bits of art for a few years now, and one of our local galleries held an exhibition of the great Peter Blake. The private view was last week so we went along and the man himself was there!!!
This was a great thrill for me, as he is one of the pioneers of Pop Art and is the British Icon of modern art. I studied him at art collage and we are very fortunate to have a bit of his work. So to meet him in the flesh was a great honor.
This is him signing a book that we got there. If you can't read it, it says 'For Adam & Alison - Peter Blake'. Its so weird knowing his writing because you've seen it so many times. Then he goes and does it in front of you and it's exactally the same!!
Was a good night all in all, and i got to meet someone that i've admired for a very long time.

Happy birthday Hannah Frank (born August 23, 1908) .
Andy Scott, Glasgow artist and sculptor, expresses his admiration for Hannah's lifetime of work and proposes a public sculpture for Glasgow scaled up from one of Hannah's pieces

Now with fabric swatch!
This one is from my big A3 sketchbook, and is the proper i-know-what-i-want-to-do-now sketchy plan.
With a fabric swatch. Did I mention that?
I thought the fabric swatch was quite efficient.
Exsertus Private View:
Andrew Burton
Tuesday 29th May 6-8pm
Andrew Burton's new work in the Exsertus space plays with your
sense of scale. The work is a wall constructed from thousands of fired
bricks dividing the space into two. The bricks however are finger sized, a
kind of lego-like miniature construction block from which Burton has built a
wall that would be well over head height if normal sized construction bricks
were used.
The wall structure gives the sense of creating a boundary, or in a space
that lies along the route of Hadrian's wall, a frontier. In stepping over
the barrier and viewing the work from the far side of the space, we can see
that the wall has been filled with street tags, but due to tiny size of the
bricks and the scale of the wall, the graffiti writing is of a miniature
scale.

Exsertus is a project space curated by Novellus Castellum which provides selected artists with a large work and exhibition space as well as the time to develop new ideas and ways of working.

The third exhibition that I've curated.
Carbon, the most basic element; the primary building block of all known life and the black cloud of fate that hangs so ominously above us all. It has many various forms, each boasting a variety of abilities; from the strength of diamonds, to the creative mark making abilities of graphite. It is essential for our day to day lives, it is the fuel that allows plants to breath, which in turn allows us to breath. It is the basis for, and the by product of the majority of our energy production. We rely on carbon, carbon is our single unifying factor.
Carbon has four connective points, allowing for a very minimal - and in many ways neutral - substance the potential to become something significantly more complicated. For this reason four artists have been selected to attach to and come together to be apart of Carbon. All structures that stand, do so on strong and minimal foundations – from the literal and tangible interpretations like architecture, to more abstract concepts like equality. Minimalism has a strength, a clarity, of purpose and function which I feel directly reflects both carbon, and the white cube; both are blank canvasses just waiting to be utilised. Like the white cube, carbon alone is very little without interaction with other constituents.
Carbon explores the concept of necessity, and the connotations of form and function within. There is an intriguing connection between necessity and commodity, a mid ground where the two concepts find a common understanding work simultaneously. A no man's land where a minimal concept can seem so intricate and convey so much intent and, equally, a more complicated idea can seem provocatively simple.
