About
An analogue slide show presentation and talk by Adele Patrick, co-founder of both Women in Profile (WiP) and Glasgow Women’s Library (GWL).
In the mid 1980’s a group of women studying at Glasgow School of Art began to meet in each other’s flats with slides of their work and a projector for ‘Slide Criticism’ sessions. Responding to the prevailing art institutional pedagogy that erased women’s lives and contributions to art and history formation, these informal, packed, self-organised and facilitated meetings were a counter cultural locus informed by consciousness raising to discuss women’s art, women artists and feminism. They were a precursor to the founding of Women in Profile (WiP) and subsequently Glasgow Women’s Library (GWL).
Adele Patrick, who was a 'Slide Criticism' meeting host, will show slides from the original meetings (now held in the GWL collection), discuss their rationale, their legacy and the pre-digital technologies involved.
This workshop forms part of the free curriculum of events for The Ignorant Art School Sit-in #4 Outside the Circle.
