Carol Rhodes: Scene and Unseen Symposium
Glasgow School of Art
20 April 2024
The School of Fine Art and Exhibitions at the Glasgow School of Art are pleased to present a one-day symposium on the work of Carol Rhodes, coordinated in conjunction with the Carol Rhodes estate.
The symposium speaks to Rhodes’ significant artist legacy, and to encourage the development of new contextual frameworks through which her practice might be engaged with. While the event seeks to locate itself within a timely discussion around the historicisation of British women painters of the 20th century, it also seeks to address how an artist’s political ideals and their contribution to a variety of communities may be articulated in relation to their practice. Proceedings from the symposium will be published in a special edition of the Journal of Contemporary Painting (Intellect).
An accompanying presentation, Carol Rhodes: Seen and Unseen, is on show in the Reid Ground Floor Corridor from 6 – 23 April 2024.
