Featured Artist: Nadia Lucchesi
Preview: Thursday 02 March, 6pm - 8pm
Exhibition Runs: 03 March - 01 April 2023
At Glasgow Print Studio
Nadia Lucchesi’s exhibition of new lino prints sees her turn her distinctive illustrative style to the central subject of birds, many deeply symbolic across different cultures past and present. Cockerels, heron, peacocks and more are depicted in deceptively simple, bold and brightly coloured prints. Nadia is influenced by mid-20th century illustration and decorative design, and a love of visual storytelling, and these prints have been produced in a spirit of experimentation, joy, and playfulness.
Join Glasgow Print Studio next Thursday for the opening of Nadia's exhibition, part of at Trongate 103

The New Photographers Guild exhibition 'Flux' is on until the 27th November in Gallery 103 (Trongate 103) and features new work by Miriam Alis , Csian Jemecel Canave , Dave Lane , Keziah MacNeill , Niamh McInally and Laura Prieto
The New Photographers Guild is a mentored photography programme preparing recent graduates for professional life beyond education. It has been a process of shared learning across several sessions held at Trongate 103 with the photography mentors Claire Stewart and James Pfaff, in association with Street Level Photoworks. Each of the them explored the word ‘flux’ and its visual associations, which has led to the works on show using a variety of mediums and approaches.
Stay tuned for news on an upcoming event with the artists!

Toby Messenger & James Brown - ‘Good Show’
Preview - Thursday 26th May, 6 - 8pm
This new exhibition presents mixed media work exploring imagery and text by two Glasgow based artists, Toby Messenger and James Brown, based in Glasgow Independent Studio, in Trongate 103.
If you’re lucky to catch James Brown's work before it’s torn apart, re-configured, or hits the receptacle you’ll see a remarkable level of subtlety and organisation of the picture plane drawn out from careful deliberation.
He works primarily with collage - incorporating printed, drawn and manipulated imagery originating from mass media and personal mythology. An acerbic wit, James’s work is sardonic and acutely perceptive.
'James Brown’s refreshing collage works are signals of significant cultural markers for him - Rauschenberg but with its own particular vernacular. Very pop urban and modern ‘ - Malcolm Dickson
Toby Messenger has been incorporating text in recent drawings, from which a sign piece has been produced in collaboration with Norrie Swift. Displayed alongside mixed media constructions - ideas based in the absurd, anti-art and art protest are utilised to explore humour and pathos in the artist’s studio
‘Messenger is looking from the corner of his eye, turning his attention to the forms and spaces others might miss… spaces that enter memory, but are never remembered, the spaces that reveal more about a place than we realise’ - Jack Mottram
Show runs until 26th June

Sense Scotland was approached last year by Project Ability to create art works for a COP26 exhibition in Trongate 103.
Project Ability was working with Stop Climate Chaos Scotland to deliver a national banner making project to support people with learning disabilities to have their concerns on climate change seen and heard.
The Touch Base Lanarkshire group created the Eat Green banner. The idea for this was inspired by WWF wrestling and World Wildlife Fund. Working with James from the arts team, the people we support developed characters for a wrestling match with the veggies versus meat.
The group created the tagline “smackdown on meat” to highlight the global impact of eating meat, the greenhouse gases this produces and how we should try and eat more healthy fruit and veg. You can see John and Nathan's brilliant banner for the exhibition below.
The “Ocean Plastic Not Fantastic” exhibition runs until the 26th February 2022 at Trongate 103 foyer space, so please do come along if you can.

Peter Kennard's CODE RED at The Out of the Blue Drill Hall ends tomorrow Friday 26th at 2pm in Edinburgh. The exhibition at Trongate 103 continues until the 19th December. Get to see it and buy one of the postcard packs which accompanies it from Street Level's in-house shop.
CODE RED - a print installation of 28 hard hitting monochrome artworks by Peter Kennard presented by Street Level Photoworks at Gallery 103 @ Trongate 103 in Glasgow and at The Out of the Blue Drill Hall in Edinburgh in partnership with Peace & Justice (promoting nonviolence and a culture of peace across Scotland).
"Impassioned, ambitious and furious, this extensive series of montages is bookended by images featuring black military style watch dials. ‘Past Midnight’ opens the show, economically apprising viewers as to the parlous state the planet and humankind finds itself in. Its watch hands mounted on a WW2 gas mask are nuclear missiles. The time reads 5 past midnight.
In the final image of the CODE RED series the watch dial this time is an image taken by Apollo astronauts in 1972. It shows planet earth as a whole, swathed in its diaphanous, swirling, life giving atmosphere. A hand reaches into the image frame, it’s holding onto a cord attached to the minute hand. The concluding work’s title ‘Pull Back’ reads both as a command and a desperate plea."
Adrian Burnham - www.buildhollywood.co.uk/features/code-red-one-last-chance
The exhibitions opened to coincide with the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference but both remain viewable until the 26th November in Edinburgh and 19th December in Glasgow. Keeps an eye out for a livestream of Peter discussing the work.

AM BEAIRT - THE LOOM (made in 2016)
Currently featured in all of our shows at Trongate 103 in Glasgow, Am Beairt was commissioned by An Lanntair, - an arts centre in Stornoway (Lewis & Harris). Am Beairt is made from an old Hattersley Pedal Loom, acquired from the village of Balallan on the Isle of Lewis. For weavers of Harris Tweed it was the workhorse of the Industry throughout the 20th Century.
The original loom was disassembled, re-imagined and rebuilt by Sharmanka team to tell its own compelling story through a metaphor of regeneration. There is only one human figure - a weaver, a crofter, a wise old fellow whose relentless work supports the life of all his animals who populate the rest of the The Loom.
