l Futurist feministas Chicks on Speed continue their art/music crossover with art world darlings Cindy Sherman and Jeff Koons getting overdue slaps on the art. Their Fluxus-influenced Situationist aesthetic was put on stage on Monday 22 February at Glasgow’s Barfly to the great delight of the gathered horde of art school drop outs and pattern-cutting course casualties. Melissa: ‘We hear that there’s a growing performance art scene in Scotland and we hope to get involved in the future.’ They don’t play guitars.
I The Travelling Gallery has recently launched its new programme. with work by Belinda Guidi. Mandy McIntosh and Jim Ewen on show. The work is the result ol a three- year collaboration. during which each artist worked separately with non-artists trom PierCurious (an arts project based in Saltcoats). McIntosh created a website with Yvonne Weaver. on which images of Saltcoats Itself are archived. Ewen worked With Stuart Clement and Emma Gibson. creating soulptural objects and a film. Guidi collaborated with Claire Tallow and Katie Akande. and the film ponraits and canvases they produced will be on show. For more details see travellinggallerycom.
