Brain Mail: Glasgow, California Curated by George Clarke
Featuring work by Dave Allen, Ross Sinclair, Stephen Sutcliffe, Rosalind Nashashibi and Sophie Macpherson.
Mapping the intersection between the cities of Glasgow and Los Angeles, this programme is devised by George Clarke, Assistant Curator of Film at Tate Modern, London. It explores how artists engage with international networks and the changing ways that images and ideas have circulated over the last twenty-five years. Taking its name from a mid-1990s group show by students of the Glasgow School of Art that took place at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), Brain Mail recalls the influential student exchange programme between these two colleges and marks the shift from the analogue traditions of mail art into the rapid digital exchange that defines our data-saturated present.
