"The Glasgow Miracle" Contemporary Art Epicentre, by ricobenfico on Jul 21, 2012 0:21:17 GMT 1, How Glasgow conquered the art world
It was described by art curator Hans Ulrich Obrist as the "Glasgow miracle". How has one city managed to produce a generation of international contemporary artists, scooping an incredible number of nominations for Britain's top visual art award, the Turner prize?.......

BBC iplayer footage of the full programme, a very interesting watch: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01l1brw/hd/imagine..._Summer_2012_Glasgow_The_Grit_and_the_Glamour/
Sorry, can't work out how to embed video here...(click the link above)

it blisters and bruises
and knocks you about with its fists
It Leaves you a wreckage
all postaged and packaged
and sealed with a Glasgow kiss

"The Glasgow Miracle" Contemporary Art Epicentre, by ricobenfico on Jul 21, 2012 23:47:02 GMT 1, Like your work above guys!
I too am from the West now living in Edinburgh. I'm making chip shop owners look up from the counter in disbelief when I refuse salt n sauce and ask for salt n vinegar!
But back to the art....

"The Glasgow Miracle" Contemporary Art Epicentre, by ricobenfico on Jul 24, 2012 20:22:11 GMT 1, ^ Don't know of any Lambie work available but here's a cheeky wee Shrigley hidden away here:
The Human Body, David Shrigley (1999) £175.00 Inc. VAT
The Human Body is a signed, limited edition screenprint taken from an original line drawing commissioned by Book Works. Shrigley describes his own work as having an ‘untutored, rubbishy and scratchy aesthetic’ and delights in the ‘doodly thing as something that can sometimes express the things you can't intellectually’. The Human Body is typical of Shrigley’s output, a drawing that is as disturbing as it is hilarious.
