fri 25 NOV - 7pm
art as solidarity - a visual presentation and talk.
From a disenchantment with the mainstream (and pseudo alternatives to the) 'art world', to enthusiastic involvement with groups such as Workers City during Glasgow's 'reign' as european city of culture in 1990, the Glasgow Anarchists in the early 90's, various collaborations with Variant magazine over the years, active participation with the Industrial Workers of the World union, as well as a long term working relationship with AK Press & Distribution, Euan Sutherland has created hundreds of pieces of art and design works that have acted in support and solidarity for these and many other counter-culture and campaigning organisations.
Extracted from a substantial archive of artwork and related materials from the last twenty five years, this presentation will highlight a number of examples of work, their placement within a social and historical context and promote the idea that visual art can be purposeful and worthwhile without compromising aesthetics or a personal visual identity. Samples of work shown will include designs for badges, stickers, t-shirts, banners, postcards, prints, flyers, posters, magazine and book covers related to various actions, events, screenings, bookfairs, discussions, talks and publications, as well as some of their interlinked counterparts created as standalone artworks for 'gallery' based exhibitions.
6 OCT - 6pm
The Autonomous Centre of Edinburgh and the Scottish Radical Library Collective are happy to invite
you to the opening of Euan Sutherland's exhibition "Small Revolutions" that showcases a specifically created artwork
and samples from his visual archive of political artwork from the last 25 years.
