| Artists who make music Musicians who make art |
An exhibition will open at Queens Park Railway Club on 2 March 2018 exploring the creative links between art and music, and particularly the interrelationship of art, music and The Glasgow School of Art. Artists who make music Musicians who make art
is curated by Dr Ross Sinclair, Reader in Creative Practice at the GSA. The exhibition runs until 25 March.
“I am interested in the idea that many artists and musicians have studied,
or are in some way associated with Glasgow School of Art.”
Ross Sinclair.
An acclaimed artist, Sinclair was also a founding member of popular Glaswegian beat combo The Soup Dragons in the mid 1980. Celebrating the intertwined relationships of his twin passions of art and music, he has invited over 100 members of the art and music communities to submit an artwork, (irrespective of which form they are best known for) and to contribute an example of their music for a digital mix-tape that will be played in the space. Films and videos will be exhibited reflecting an eclectic mix of pop video, performance and film-work.
