Featuring Tessa Lynch, Amy Jones & Sarah Forrest. Curated in collaboration with Katherine Murphy

Thank you for signing up to participate in Making The Unseen Seen, a performative curated response to Tessa Lynch’s current exhibition Wave Machine at David Dale Gallery.  Book-ended by conversations and discussions, this event will begin at Glasgow Sculpture Studios, journey through the city and culminate at Glasgow Women’s Library.

The event will begin with a short discussion between artist Tessa Lynch and invited curator Katherine Murphy. Following on from this artist Amy Jones will provide a series of provocations as we move through the city. At our destination at the Women’s Library, artist Sarah Forrest will present her work ‘Recital’.

As the day moves into dusk, and the exhibition into darkness, participants are invited to join the artists and contributors for warm refreshments and informal conversation at David Dale Gallery.

We look forward to welcoming you tomorrow, but we kindly request that you be at Glasgow Sculpture Studios for a prompt 1pm start and dressed prepared for the unpredictable Glasgow weather!
