Launch of HOUSE WORK CASTLE MILK WOMAN HOUSE, Glasgow Women's Library, Landressy Street, 5.30pm-7.30pm

Please join us for the launch of HOUSE WORK CASTLE MILK WOMAN HOUSE, an exhibition by Kate Davis and Glasgow Women's Library which charts the important feminist art project, Castlemilk Womanhouse, which launched in Glasgow in 1990.

Instigated by Rachael Harris, sculptor Julie Roberts and Cathy Wilkes, Castlemilk Womanhouse was the most ambitious art project in the Women in Profile Festival (1990) and involved creative collaborations between women from the Castlemilk community, artists and Women in Profile co-ordinators. It was reviewed by the art critic Clare Henry as the best community project during Glasgow’s year as European City of Culture. Women in Profile proved to be a crucible for both Glasgow Women’s Library and for many women artists.

HOUSE WORK CASTLE MILK WOMAN HOUSE is part of GENERATION: a major, nation-wide exhibition programme showcasing some of the best and most significant artists to have emerged from Scotland over the last 25 years. It shows the generation of ideas, of experiences, and of worldclass art on an unparalleled scale by over 100 artists in more than 60 venues.

GENERATION is delivered as a partnership between the NationalGalleries of Scotland, Glasgow Life and Creative Scotland and is part of Culture 2014, the Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme.
