Last night I popped into the opening night of the MFA interim show at the Glasgow School of Art. It is a 2 year course and this is their interim show. It was very busy opening, with mostly students I think. There are about 25 MFA students on the course, almost double the amount of my own cohort. I think the MFA at the GSA has expanded and expanded over the years and wonder if it still has the intimacy and localisation that it used to have. There were a lot of video works on display at the show and this seemed to dominate it. There was no information supplied about the ideas and themes behind any of the work, just the artist’s name and the materials. But no doubt there will be a whole lot of ideas and theory behind the work.
For obvious reasons it was good to go and see this show. I was imagining my own work as part of the show and I couldn’t see it at all being out of place.
I took some photos of the exhibition and the work. They are viewable here:
