Nicola Atkinson Artist & Curator Beautiful Materials
Beautiful Materials MODEL GALLERY at City Park G31 3AU
The smallest gallery in the east end of Glasgow
IDEA: It seems that there are not enough formal places for artists to exhibit artworks in Scotland. I wonder if one of the solutions is to have a MODEL GALLERY. Where you can imagine you are a giant within the walls.
SOLUTION: An opportunity came about through Nicola Atkinson solo show in Linlithgow last year where she created a model of the Burgh Halls Gallery. It has been in the Beautiful Materials Gallery in Newton Means and had four exhibitions with in it. City Park, has two shows with in it.
PRODUCTION: The MODEL GALLERY is 1864 mm x 876 mm with walls 364 mm high and made from wood & MDF.
LOCATION: CITY PARK - 368 Alexandra Parade, Glasgow G31 3AU South wing on the third floor.
VIEWING BY INVITATION ONLY : Please contact Nicola Atkinson on @beautiful.material IG for access.
THANK YOU: The artists, Nicola Atkinson Artist & Curator, Outerspaces and the staff at City Park.
