LOWLANDS: Round Table
6 – 8pm 24th January 2025
Reid Principal Seminar Room, Reid Building
Free but ticketed – Book via Eventbrite
Lowlands Artists Collective are a group of eight artists now based in various parts of Scotland and Finland with different artistic practices. They first got to know each other through their affiliation with Glasgow Print Studio. They have also all individually received funding from the Bet Low Trust. Originally set up by Bet Low herself, the Trust awards grants to artists in Scotland to travel, research and develop new work. In 2016 the collective produced the LOWLANDS project – a box set, print exchange and exhibition. The aim of the project was to acknowledge this connection to the Trust and to celebrate the adventurous and inclusive spirit of Bet Low herself. They expanded on this in 2021 with an exhibition at Oxford House, Glasgow, which included Low’s work.
Celebrating the exhibition ‘Bet Low: An Island On Your Doorstep’, Lowlands Artists Collective will hold a roundtable discussion. They will show the box set folio of prints and presenting documentation of our exhibition at Oxford House. People can see the box set first-hand before and during the conversation. They will begin by introducing the work they have done as a group, then explore how each has benefited from Low’s legacy.
Lowlands Artists Collective are Andreas Behn-Eschenburg, Rachel Duckhouse, Claire Forsyth, Alistair Gow, Abigale Neate-Wilson, Bronwen Sleigh, Karen L. Vaughan and Alasdair Wallace. Full bios here.
This event is part of the exhibition programme for Bet Low: An Island On Your Doorstep, Reid Gallery, The Glasgow School of Art (11 January – 8 February 2025).
