Film by Callum and Fraser Rice which accompanies the exhibition by Jimmy Cosgrove ‘Looking for Signs: Ideas and Imagined Circumstances', Studio Pavilion (House for an Art Lover) 28 July - 16 September 2018, co-curated by Alison Harley, Fraser Taylor and Louise Briggs.

The exhibition explored the studio collection of Jimmy Cosgrove, and presented work spanning the early 1970s to new work created for the Studio Pavilion in 2018. Sketchbooks, travelogues, working ideas were included to show the span of work across design and the visual arts, pursued by Jimmy Cosgrove throughout his career at GSA.

Filmed in the context of the exhibition Cosgrove expands upon his ideas, working processes and contribution to design education at GSA, alongside his artistic contribution to the Scottish and Glasgow art scene of the early 1970s and into the mid 1990s, when he retired from GSA to continue working as an exhibiting artist.
