Sarah Lowndes looks back at the rise of the Glasgow art scene through the decades, from community art to Thatcher, New Wave to Teenage Fanclub. Charting the emergence of performance and conceptual-related art, she looks at the background from which the art of the last 40 years emerged, the social atmosphere which was able to influence artists, musicians and writers who would go on to be known worldwide.

Social Sculpture, The Rise of the Glasgow Art Scene, Luath Press, 2010. Many of the art works covered in this book can be understood as self-conscious experiments with the form and the conventions of exhibition and performance. This work encourages the viewer to think in new ways, as the material form is often ‘secondary, lightweight, ephemeral, cheap, unpretentious and/or dematerialized’. Several of the artists use mundane everyday materials such as rubber erasers, old postcards, coffee grinds or cigarette ends, but through their presentation these are transformed into something unfamiliar and challenging.

Books by Sarah Lowndes. This 2018 book reflects on the motivations of creative practitioners who have moved out of cities from the mid-1960s onwards to establish creative homesteads. The book focuses on desert exile painter Agnes Martin, radical filmmaker and gardener Derek Jarman, and iconoclastic conceptual artist Chris Burden, detailing their connections to the cities they had left behind (New York, London, Los Angeles).
