WELCOME Art, to many people, is a minefield, when it should be a pleasure and an inspiration. That’s why we’ve produced our annual Art Guide: we want to help make sense of it all. If you’re new to the vast and captivating subject that is art or you have a long and keen interest in it, this supplement, free with issue 104 of Homes & Interiors Scotland, is for you. Practical and easy to read, it lists some of Scotland’s leading galleries and venues, all places where you can explore the art scene and find work you’ll treasure forever. There’s also a debate on the merits (or otherwise) of the Turner Prize – just as Glasgow prepares to host the controversial competition. Be inspired – we hope you enjoy it.

the pleasure principle Buying contemporary art is all about working out what you like and then learning to trust your instincts Words: Rhona Warwick Paterson

W

ith all eyes on Scotland for this year’s Turner Prize, 2015 could prove to be an apt moment to buy contemporary art. Whether you are a seasoned buyer who wants to add something a bit more edgy to your collection, or you have simply been inspired by one of the many Turner Prize events this winter but don’t know where to start, try asking yourself this simple question when considering purchasing a work of art: ‘Can we have a relationship?’ I know, it’s a weird question to ask an inanimate object. But whether you are buying for investment or purely for pleasure, choosing to live with art can be a transformative experience. The addition of an original artwork can provide a real focus for your home or your garden – not in the same way that a piece of furniture or wall colour can, but, rather than serving a function, a well-placed artwork can be an experience; it can be an invitation to pause, to train your eye so that as well as satisfying a basic visual pleasure, it should also communicate with your imagination. Surprisingly, many collectors say that the art they would never part with, or the art that now feels like an extension of themselves, are pieces that they didn’t like initially. Margaret Gardiner (whose enviable collection of British Modernism is now housed at the Pier Arts Centre in Stromness, Orkney) was once given a painting by the great abstract painter Roger Hilton to ‘suck it and see’. Normally guided by her strong, intuitive eye, she instantly disliked the small painting in tertiary colours. The artist, however, persuaded her to hang it in her bedroom so that it would be the first thing she saw when she awoke. The very next morning she phoned Hilton to tell him that she had to buy this wonderfully absorbing painting right away, as she now couldn’t live without it. Guides to buying art invariably propose that you buy things that you instantly like, yet this is no guarantee that what you are buying is necessarily good art. I don’t mean to suggest that you should purchase an artwork you dislike, rather that

you should also consider work that engages you, poses a question, or presents something enigmatic that you can spend decades contemplating. Choosing artwork to harmonise with your furniture or decor will ultimately bore you and is therefore simply not worth the investment. So, how do you choose? And where can you go to find work to buy? Start by visiting some exhibitions. Check out the Turner Prize at Tramway and the accompanying Travelling Gallery as it works its way across Scotland. Devils in the Making at the Gallery of Modern Art runs until February 2016 and showcases the wealth of talent to graduate form the Glasgow School of Art over the last two decades. This will give you a feel for the zeitgeist but will also present ideas in different media – why not consider a video piece or sound work for your garden or hallway, or a sculpture or wall painting for your living room? When it comes to buying art for your home, try to think beyond colour schemes or ‘tasteful’ landscapes above the fireplace; art has moved on, so take pleasure in thinking outside the box and challenge yourself in broadening your horizons. Building a relationship with art galleries is a good way to start. In Glasgow, try the Modern Institute (which has represented the lion’s share of Turner Prize winners and nominees), Mary Mary and Koppe Astner. In Edinburgh, meanwhile, the Ingleby Gallery and Arusha are among those that focus on contemporary artists who are making waves on the international scene. Most artists also welcome studio visits; seeing how they work and having a conversation about their practice will help you to make an informed decision. You’ll also find that artists often have smaller, more affordable prints or studies in their studios that you can buy, and this could set you on your way to supporting an emerging artist, whether through patronage, investment or both. Other opportunities to look at work in a range of different styles is at annual open exhibitions, art fairs and Open Studio events. This year’s Edinburgh Art Fair, at the Corn Exchange, is on the weekend of November 13-15, and the Royal Scottish Academy launches its annual open exhibition on November 27 (on until February 14). In both these places you’ll see the full • THE ART GUIDE 2015 05

[Left] The permanent collection of the Pier Arts Centre in Orkney contains work by many of the most important British artists of the 20th century.

spectrum of talent and styles. (If you’re thinking of buying for a loved one, rather than guessing what they’d like, try making a day of visiting the gallery or art fair together and making mental notes of what they respond positively to.) Purchasing a print is another accessible and affordable option. The Glasgow Print Studio has an impressive selection of well-priced and highly collectable prints for sale, including woodcuts by Martin Boyce, screenprints by Alasdair Gray and digital prints by Sam Ainsley ranging in price from £300 to £600. Peacock Visual Arts, Aberdeen’s Centre for Contemporary Art, has a wonderful selection of prints. To give a better understanding of an artist’s practice, WASPS Artists Studios host open days up and down the country, at South Block in Glasgow on the weekend of November 28–29 and at Patriothall Studios in Edinburgh on December 5–6. It’s a great opportunity to see what artists get up to in their own studios, but importantly, if a sale or commission is made, it puts money directly into the artist’s pocket. As Christmas approaches there will also be ample opportunities to purchase prints or paintings direct from small gallery shops around the country, which are a great place for seeing a range of styles and mediums. Outside Glasgow and Edinburgh, Frames Gallery in Perth and the Tighnabruaich Gallery in Argyll offer some lovely and inexpensive handcrafted pieces in ceramic and glass as well as a large selection of paintings by local artists. Museum and gallery shops increasingly stock signed editions of artists’ prints or posters – these, when framed, make an impressive and affordable gift. (My mother recently bought a signed limited-edition poster of Jim Lambie’s ‘Beach Boy’ from the Pier Arts Centre – a steal at £30.) Trusting your instincts is paramount, but equally important is making informed decisions when it comes to buying contemporary art. Do your homework, make a point of speaking to gallerists and dealers about which artists are generating a lot of interest, and try where possible to establish a relationship with the artist personally. Once your decision has been made, experiment with where to place your artwork at home. Don’t be tempted to fill gaps on walls but instead consider placing work in the spaces in which you spend most time. There is a tendency to hang framed prints or canvases slightly too high; as a rule of thumb, you should 06 THE ART GUIDE 2015

hang work where its halfway point is at your eye level – and lower still if you’re hanging the work in a room where people will mostly be sitting down. Experiment with activating overlooked or unusual spaces, such as very high up or propped against a wall on the floor. If the work is a sculpture or something more ephemeral, you could always ask the artist for their opinion. Overall, when buying a new artwork for your home, try to imbue the process with conversations, considerations and questions that will engage your imagination for years to come. ᔢ

FIRST PERSON Petal By Tim Pomeroy

A wealth of influences, absorbed by the artist over a lifetime of observing the world, have gone into the creation of this sculpture

M

y sculptures have always been inspired by all manner of things, from the natural world to the designed world, from the ancient to the modern. This piece, which is called Petal, takes inspiration from all of these. There are rhythms all around us in nature. Very often we just take them for granted… and perhaps that is how it should be. And as an artist I am no different from anyone else, except perhaps in a couple of ways; firstly I recognise and am visually sensitive to these rhythms, and secondly I have a great sense of urgency to do something about it. A couple of years ago I made a sculpture called Hydrangea. This was an abstract sculpture. It was trying less to be a an actual hydrangea flower and more to evoke a spirit of hydrangea-ness, if such a spirit can be said to exist. The sculpture was also influenced by the ‘designed world’. It visually referenced such diverse things as wavy pastry cutters and crinkle washers. It was trying to be none of these things, but I felt these influences while I was making it.

Petal is an evolution from that sculpture. It is still related to all the above-mentioned influences but with more besides. I live beside the sea on the isle of Arran. The seashore, which is at the bottom of the front garden, is a constant source of wonder and inspiration. Petal also has a distant kinship to scallop shells, starfish and sea urchins. All these star-like symmetries have informed my shape-making. Petal is none of them per se, but contains ideas derived from them. I like to think that if Petal were able to shout in a canyon (supposing sculptures could shout), its echoes would look a little like (if an echo can look like anything) a scallop shell, a hydrangea petal, a sea urchin and more besides. Furthermore, yew wood, which Petal is made of, is associated in older beliefs and superstitions with protection against evil, bringing dreams, the afterlife, and otherworldliness, among other things. I chose yew deliberately because of its mystical properties. I wanted a material that not only responds well to the tools and finishes to a high level of beauty but also taps into that rich seam of inference and belief that is central to this sculpture. This could be said of many of the pieces in my exhibition at the Fine Art Society. ᔢ

Tim Pomeroy’s inaugural exhibition at the Fine Art Society in Edinburgh’s Dundas Street opens on Friday, November 20, his first major show in Scotland for over a decade. It runs until December 23. www.fasedinburgh.com www.timpomeroy.com THE ART GUIDE 2015 09

TWO OF A KIND Intense observation and painstaking attention to detail pay off in these fine examples of botanical art

OLIVIA ROSE AUSTIN by Dianne Sutherland Dianna Sutherland trained as a floral painter with Royal Doulton and later studied both botanical illustration and plant science. “I enjoy the meeting of art and science in my work,” she says. The combination of the two can clearly be seen in this piece, which was inspired by a visit to the gardens of the famous rose breeder David Austin. The artist has deconstructed a soft pink English Leander hybrid (‘Olivia Rose Austin’) into its various parts, capturing it from bud to spent bloom and adding descriptive notes and colour studies to create a study page. Working in thin layers of watercolour, she has captured the luminosity of the petals in a brilliantly accurate depiction of this beautiful flower. www.diannesutherland.com

ALLIUM URSINUM by Lyn Campbell It was only after retiring from a career as a paediatric physiotherapist that Lyn Campbell got around to picking up her paintbrush. Since then, however, she has gained a diploma in botanical illustration from the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh and now teaches the subject. “I’ve always loved plants and taken great pleasure in studying them on my travels at home and abroad,” she says. “I am fascinated by the natural world, and most of my paintings are of flowers growing in the wild. This one, of wild garlic, Allium ursinum, grows in abundance in the park where I walk my dog every day.” Rendered in watercolour, with all the fine detail and accuracy required for botanical illustration, it’s a typical example of the artist’s award-winning work. www.lyncampbell.com

THE ART GUIDE 2015 15

All eyes on the Turner Prize It has been called everything from banal and alienating to cutting-edge and profound. Just what is the art world’s most controversial competition all about? Words: Rhona Warwick Paterson

T

he early-evening news is on the television, but it’s getting zero attention from our household. While I’m pottering around in the kitchen, one of my sons is scribbling on some paper (and most of the table), while the other has a laserbeam focus on building some intricate Lego mutant. Then we hear the newsreader say the words “Glasgow… Turner Prize… artists” and suddenly the Lego mutant is lost under a barrage of questions: “Mummy, what’s happening to Glasgow?” “What’s the prize?” “Is it a competition for all the artists?” “Mummy, will I win the prize? Is it a big toy?” This last comes from the wee one, holding his scribbled masterpiece aloft. Explaining to two little boys aged six and three (whose father is an artist) what the Turner Prize is turns out to be a surprisingly fraught experience, and answering even the simplest of questions only serves to provoke more: “Well, it’s a big prize of money for artists who sometimes make controversial work, and, er, it’s held in Glasgow this year!” “Oh, good! Can Daddy enter the competition?” “You can’t enter it like other competitions… The artists are selected by a panel of very clever art people from all over the country.” “Does that mean he’s not good enough?” “Of course not! It depends on recent exhibitions and there are certain criteria but no one really knows what those are, er…” [lapses into confused silence] “Mummy, what is constramento?” “It’s con-tro-ver-sial…” “But why is it happening in Glasgow?” The more I attempt to stem the flow, the more confused we all become – especially me. Why does the Turner Prize spark so much debate – not just in our house, but across the full range of media, not to mention in bars, schools and workplaces the length and breadth of the country?

The answer, of course, lies in that much maligned and overused word ‘controversial’. Every year the prize receives extensive coverage in both the broadsheets and the tabloids, where the nominees are either praised for their brilliance or ridiculed for the banality and absurdity of their work. The prize was named after the 19th-century painter [Above] J.M.W. Turner may be one of Britain’s favourite J.M.W. Turner, now artists now, but he was much derided during his lifetime regarded as one of Britain’s greatest ever landscape artists but who, during his own lifetime, was regarded as a contentious and eccentric character who challenged the norms with both his subject matter and technique. Fast-forward to 2001, when the Turner Prize was won by Martin Creed, the Scottish conceptual artist whose Work 227: The lights going ON and OFF was, well, just that: a stripped-out room with a light programmed to be on for five seconds and off for five seconds. Its simplicity triggered huge anxiety and an international debate about what art was (or wasn’t, for that matter). Creed was ridiculed as a charlatan and the tabloids reported that people walked out of the Tate in disgust. There was no doubt that this was controversial. Whether it was your thing or not, though, Creed’s work challenged expectations, fuelled debate and focused public attention on the role of the artist. Maybe Turner’s depiction of atmosphere and light was not so far from Creed’s lights going on and off after all. The Turner Prize isn’t just controversial to the public and to the art critics, however. It also provokes a fair amount of soul-searching among the shortlisted artists as well. Many of those who have been contenders over the years have felt conflicted about the culture of competition it generates between peers, the immense pressure of the inevitable media scrutiny and the ‘poisoned chalice’ that is •

Turner Prize

What else is going on? To accompany the exhibition, Tramway has devised an extensive engagement and education programme entitled Try Something New. It includes workshops and events for all ages, as well as associated contemporary art exhibitions in other galleries in Glasgow. The Gallery of Modern Art presents Devils in the Making: Glasgow School of Art & the Collection, featuring works by the likes of Simon Starling, Karla Black and Jim Lambie (until February 28). Cass Art, Tramway’s public programme partner, presents an interactive exhibition and Turner Prize-related workshops in its Glasgow Art Space (until January 17). The much-loved Travelling Gallery is taking a special show out on the road across Scotland, featuring a rollcall of past Scottish Turner Prize winners and nominees such as Martin Boyce, Douglas Gordon, Jim Lambie and David Shrigley. The custom-built mobile contemporary art space is travelling across Scotland as far as the Highlands and Orkney, visiting schools, galleries and community centres, and returning to Glasgow to coincide with the announcement of the Turner Prize winner on December 7.

the actual prize itself. The majority of artists don’t have a regular income, never mind a pension plan or even, sometimes, enough spare change for the bus home, so being plucked from relative obscurity and/or poverty and offered £25,000 in recognition of their talent can be a real game-changer. It is true that winning the Turner Prize pretty much guarantees commercial success for an artist, and new-found financial security allows them to potentially explore ideas in other materials (or at least to pay off some debts). But once the dust settles, does success in the competition really have any impact on an artist’s work or does it simply reinforce the established media opinion that contemporary art is alienating and wilfully esoteric? Duncan Campbell, who won last year’s prize, says there are two sides to it: “I’m not going to argue with the way the Turner Prize brings attention to the winners and nominated artists or to turn down the opportunity to have this sort of spotlight. But there is an arbitrariness about it. Four people get nominated and only one wins. I know people who’ve been through that process, and people who deserve to be nominated but haven’t been.” Martin Boyce, winner in 2011, agrees that there is a lot of ambivalence about the competition: “The thing about the Turner Prize is a lot of good artists have been nominated and a lot haven’t,” he says. “If it comes your way, you have to decide whether you’re on board or not, as it can be a double-edged sword for a lot of people.” He had fewer doubts for himself, though: “For me, I felt like it was an honour to become part of a lineage that includes so many significant artists.” Boyce points out other benefits: “The nicest thing about it is being able to tell your mum and the people you talk to when you drop the kids off at school. They know what the Turner is. But I think the reality is that you go back to what you were doing before. You maybe get more invitations to go on panels or whatever, or get asked to say what your top ten movies are, but for me personally, I’m really not sure what difference it makes.” Douglas Gordon, the Glasgow artist who won the 1996 Turner Prize, has said that the purpose of art is to ignite conversation and that it is through that exchange that people can really engage with ideas. This concept is possibly one of the main reasons why so many nominees and winners of the prize have come out of Glasgow, and particularly the Glasgow School of Art, where influential tutor David Harding nurtured a generation of significant artists through the innovative Environmental Art course. Both Gordon and Boyce in their acceptance speeches

“The purpose of

art is to ignite conversation. It is only through that exchange that people can really engage with ideas” thanked and made specific reference to their peer group and teachers at GSA. Much has been talked recently about the so-called ‘Glasgow Miracle’ – the astonishingly high number of artists based in the city – but the expression does little to describe the complex fusion of cultural networks the city has built over the years. Rather than some ‘miracle’ out of the blue, this is the result of decades of consistent hard work for little financial recompense, of international relationships forged by artist-run galleries, of the city’s distance from an established art market, and of the indefatigable chutzpah of emerging artists with nothing to lose. Jeremy Deller, who won the 2004 Turner Prize and who is represented by the city’s Modern Institute, puts it this way: “Glasgow is a good place to live and make work. People are up for it. It’s cheaper and there is more space. That said, I live in London now, but I have a gallery in Glasgow as it’s good to have a distance from the art market – it means you don’t get influenced by it and you just do your thing.” • THE ART GUIDE 2015 19

Turner Prize

Judith Nesbitt, Director of National and international Programmes at the Tate It’s wonderful to see the Turner Prize 2015 here at Tramway. Glasgow is an important centre for the arts in Britain so it is very fitting for the exhibition to be hosted in the city this year. Working in partnership with colleagues in Scotland means the prize reaches an even wider audience and enables a richer debate about contemporary art. We hope all who visit the exhibition at Tramway will find it exciting and thought-provoking, and that they will see how British art today connects with wider contemporary culture.

“

“

“

“Working with the shortlisted artists and seeing the Turner Prize 2015 exhibition take shape at Tramway has been fantastic. It is brilliant that we’re now at the moment where everyone can see and share this work. It’s here to challenge, to inspire and to provoke. It’s here to start conversations, to be passionate about. Most of all it is here to be experienced: I would encourage everyone to come along and join us to see the Turner Prize exhibition.”

That distance is about to become shorter this winter when the Turner Prize machine rolls into Glasgow. Ben Luke recently wrote in the London Evening Standard that the sheer volume of Turner Prize nominees coming out of the city over last 20 years “confirms the supremacy of Glasgow as the UK centre for new art”. Ironically, for the first time in over a decade, none of 2015’s shortlist – three women and one collective – studied or live in Glasgow. This, though, is no bad thing, as playing to a home crowd is often beset with impossible pressures and high expectations. That reminds me of my own ‘home crowd’, their faces scrunched in confusion at my woeful explanation of what the Turner Prize is. “It boils down to this,” I say. “It’s just a competition with winners and losers, but it’s not about being the best artist. It’s more about getting people to think about what art is and to talk and have opinions about it – which is what we’re doing now!” Pleased with this simple yet thought-provoking explanation, I look to my boys to check that they have indeed got the benefit of this concise insight – only to discover that one has felt-tipped a drawing of Frankenstein’s monster on the carpet and the other has managed to insert a small Lego brick up one nostril. Turns out this particular conversation had been a monologue all along. ᔢ 20 THE ART GUIDE 2015
