Join curator Katie Bruce for a tour of the exhibition
Domestic Bliss. This show presents works from Glasgow Museums’ collection
reflecting on the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) building’s history as a former
house, Royal Exchange and civic space in the centre of a city (Glasgow) that
prided itself on historical connections to the rest of the world.
Observing how artists work with fine art, design and craft practices alongside social and political changes, this show explores domestic labour and feminism, public and private space, intimate relationships and historical narratives. We live in a consumerist world where home interior, lifestyle magazines and social media present flawless examples for us to emulate in our own lives. What happens if we question what is seen as ‘domestic bliss’, and whose stories are hidden or revealed?
Free, no booking required, meet in Gallery 4.
This event is part of Art History Festival 2024 organised by the
Association for Art History, @forarthistory.
