The Big Art Show, Paisley is an enormous public exhibition, housed at The Art Department, in the middle of Paisley (near Glasgow). The exhibition is a joint project of Outspoken Arts Scotland & Art Paisley Ltd. This ambitious exhibition will display over 1,000 diverse works of art representing artists across Scotland at all stages of their careers.
I have four paintings in this exhibition (including this one that’s on the poster!)
Basement Gallery, SUMMERHALL, EH9 1PL, Edinburgh Summerhall Visual Arts Festival 2023 28 July – 24 September Preview 27 July from 6pm
Edyta Majewska, Gail McLintock, Lar McGregor, Eleanor Buffam, Simona Ciocarlan and Lubna Kerr.
The artworks in this exhibition range from innovative photography on textiles, to carbonised sculpture and installation. The often-biographical themes of power, poverty, gender violence, role intersections, and endurance of the subject matter give a voice to the struggles articulated in the research underpinning this project. A gallery of art by female creatives and a narrated slideshow give a hint of the scale and range of artistic activity in Scotland.
‘We have direct experience of the struggles of women creatives, often multi-skilled women who are dealing with intersectional barriers and little support. A whole layer of contemporary art and women’s history is being suppressed’. -Majewska-McLintock
The artists say the surveys of 100 women have been courageous, affirming and important.
The exhibition will have Pecha Kucha style artist talks on: July 30th, August 14th and September 10th between 3 and 5pm. A research report event will be launched at Summerhall on August 14th between 12 – 1.30pm.
