Spin Events
Raydale Dower
Trongate 103, Glasgow
15 September 2010, 6.30-7.30pm
Spin: Glasgow will be visiting the Trongate 103 Visiting Artist Studio to see the work of emerging artist, Raydale Dower, who will be talking about his practice.
During his residency, Raydale has been investigating new sound and sculptural composition. Interested in exploring chance and logic within electronic and concrete composition, the outcome will be located somewhere between the two art forms.
This artist residency is an opportunity for the artist to develop new work for a solo exhibition at the Changing Room, Stirling and engage in conversations within Trongate 103. A self-published musician, Raydale was a founding member of the band Uncle John & Whitelock and now plays in the instrumental Tut Vu Vu.
Often collaborating to realise projects, for Gi (Glasgow International Festival for Visual Art) in 2008, he directed and performed an adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s novel, The Secret Agent, with Judd Brucke and produced by Lowsalt. More recently at this year’s Gi, he created Le Drapeau Noir, a temporary artist café installation and programme of events. The programme referenced Dada performance, underground culture, avant-garde and experimental music.
Dower is working on the first issue of Vexillology, a publication documenting the installation and performance programme at Le Drapeau Noir.
