Celebrating Glasgow’s acclaimed visual arts, The Gi Festival is a showcase of work from a city that has nurtured Turner Prize, Hugo Boss and Becks Futures winners. It includes new commissions and rare chances to see work by world-renowned artists such as Jim Lambie, Simon Starling and Jonathan Monk as well as new, emerging talent. Complementing pieces by Glasgow’s own artists are exhibitions and installations by artists from across the globe. From shows in established spaces such as The Gallery of Modern Art, CCA, Tramway and The Modern Institute to installations in found spaces, public sites and even an artist’s living room The 2008 Gi Festival is a veritable cultural safari for visitors. |
