Rosa Nussbaum, sketch for performance of Boatolin, 2018
As part of Glasgow International 2018, Scotland's largest festival for contemporary art, Studio Art MFA candidate Rosa Nussbaum will present her work in an event series curated by Love Unlimited in association with Platform. One of Nussbaum's pieces in the festival, Boatolin, will also be featured in the 2018 Studio Art MFA thesis exhibition, Affordable Dream House on April 20, 2018 in Austin, Texas.
"I can’t think of a time when it’s been more urgent to listen to the voices of artists, who amidst all the tectonic changes occurring in society and politics, remind us of what it means to be human," writes Richard Parry, director of Glasgow International. "This edition of Glasgow International will give audiences an unparalleled opportunity to see how artists in Scotland and further afield are encouraging us to unearth deeper truths and see behind the mask of everyday life as it is often presented to us."
Highlights of the 2018 festival include solo exhibitions by international artists such as Mark Leckey, Lubaina Himid, Urs Fischer and Duggie Fields. Prominent concepts for the director's program by Parry include "ideas of the ‘cyborg’, of articial intelligence (AI) and of avatars, at a time when most of us rely on smartphones and have an online persona through social media."
