The End of Glory
14/02/24 – 01/03/24
The exhibition, The End of Glory, has been assembled by graduates and current Foundation and BA students at BHSAD. Students are working remotely with artists in a similar way that a medium works with a spirit. They have had to concern themselves with the translation of a message [the artwork] from a being [the artist] and manifesting it [the display] to an audience.
From a distance they have fabricated, realised and curated artworks for artists of The Ghost Art School (none of whom are present). This has begun to develop important skills in exhibition production. From sourcing materials to communicating and collaborating with artists internationally; installing and hanging artwork to formulating curatorial decisions; having strict instructions to total freedom; fabricating new pieces to titling the exhibition.
The Ghost Art School is a growing undefined entity which was initiated by conversations with BA, MA, PhD students and graduates across Fine Art faculties at Glasgow School of Art, Slade School of Fine Art and Liverpool John Moores University. The organisation and community exists to haunt art schools.
The caretaker of The Ghost Art School is Rory Macbeth.
