Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art 2012













GI, as this otherwise slightly wordy festival is known, opens today and looks like it may be rich pickings for those seeking to add to their Priceless Collections... One option is to temporarily augment your collection by borrowing a work for 3 days through the Art Lending Library, a collaboration between Market Gallery and Walker & Bromwich. Alternatively you could seek out The Glasgow Sunday Schools project by PC favourite Ruth Ewan which will include some of her poster works and a new publication.

Also, though not strictly speaking a thing to take away, a special mention has to be made of the brilliant Jeremy Deller and his new work Sacrilege, an inflatable replica of Stonehenge sited on Glasgow Green - you can't take it away, but I am assuming it's free to bounce, and that to me sounds priceless!
