Burntisland-based mixed media artist Jo Morton will be having her second event at Glisk with an Autumn Pop-Up, featuring original art works, cards and prints.

DISCLOSURE brings together zines Ade by communities impacted by norms about mind-bodies and the medicalisation of difference, divergence or deviance, including Mad, Neurodivergent, Queer, Kink and Crip zines. The exhibition includes displays from the Edinburgh Zine Library and the Take it Back zine project. The exhibition is curated by Lea Cooper and co-produced by Lea and Jane Francis of Glisk Studio and Gallery.

We’ll open with a relaxed evening of zine reading and drop-in zine making on Wednesday 23rd October, 6-8pm. There’ll be zine makers in residence Thursday 24th, Friday 25th and Saturday 26th, and then on Sunday 27th we’re hosing a series of workshops in the exhibition space.

Assemble at Glisk over two weekends to view Karen Trotter’s work: assemblages of found objects and paintings inspired by her life and working life spent under the famous bridges of North Queensferry, Fife.

Central Fife Open Studios celebrates its tenth birthday with its biggest ever event this year.

A total of 42 artists and makers will throw open their doors over the first two weekends in September, more than doubling the 18 who took part in 2014. Ten of the original lineup are still taking part.

As usual, visitors can expect to meet the makers and artists, see their workspaces, work in progress and sometimes actually see work being made.

Disciplines include painting, jewellery, printmaking, ceramics, textiles, glass and more. Participating artists, craftspeople, designers, and makers are spread throughout central Fife, from North Queensferry to Glenrothes and Lundin Links and everywhere between.  

At Glisk, Jane Francis and Marion Barron will be taking part for the third time together in the space. Come along to see their latest work and have a chat.

You can pick up a brochure at Glisk on Friday 6th September.

"The death of my father almost two years ago, brought a period of pause and reassessing in my studio practice and lead, ultimately, to a more pared down, expressive way of working. The exhibition is a record of that journey, from realistic work to my most recent series of paintings. These are an exploration of my connection to old family photos, in this case, the photos from my grandparent’s wedding day. The wedding party - the best man, flower girl etc are unknown to me, their identities lost to time. The work explores the desire to connect with the people from our past and the impossibility of doing that.”

Glisk studio artist Jane Francis will be taking over the exhibition space with her ink and watercolour ‘entities’ - works on paper on themes of neurodiversity and entanglement with the more-than-human world.
