Serena Korda’s exhibition – Hold Fast, Stand Sure, I scream a revolution

Serena Korda’s exhibition Hold Fast, Stand Sure, I scream a revolution, recently opened in the Reid Building Gallery as part of the Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art. Collaborating with sound designer/composer Martin Low, Korda is creating a ‘sound sculpture’ for the Reid gallery using audio visual equipment and a set of elongated ceramic bells. Taking inspiration from the politically radical history of Garnethill and drawing inspiration from the collections of the Glasgow Women’s Library and GSA Archives and Collections, this exhibition will work with children, adults and students from both the GSA and the Royal Conservatoire to play and ‘agitate’ these bells as performers. For the full details about this exhibition please see the GSA Exhibitions page here.
