In a celebratory centenary exhibition at Glasgow’s French Street Studios, George Wyllie’s infamous work Christmas Day Down a Goldmine is being reimagined by Scottish artists, with their unique interpretations appearing alongside original works from Wyllie’s notable 1984 exhibition. The exhibition which opens on Friday 10 December, will also present a collection of recent works by artist Willie Sutherland, including special guest performances.
Willie Sutherland commented: “I took a huge amount of energy from the example of George Wyllie whom I had heard speak in 1990 and who like myself had started his creative practice later in life and believed strongly in the healing power of Art. The exhibition is curated to allow the viewer to walk through the catalogue from the 1984 show and immerse themselves in how vital Wyllie’s messages are for us today.”
