You are warmly invited to join us for the preview of Art Deco Scotland: Design And Architecture In The Jazz Age, in the Reid Ground Floor Corridor on Friday 4th April. Art Deco Scotland: Design And Architecture In The Jazz Age comprises images, a film, ephemera and textual interpretation around nine themes through which the Art Deco style appeared in inter-war Scotland. The exhibition accompanies a major new book of the same title, written by Bruce Peter, Professor of Design History at The Glasgow School of Art, and published by Historic Environment Scotland, which will be launched at the exhibition preview. To pre-order a copy click here. The exhibition and book are Scotland’s contributions to an international celebration in 2025 of the centenary of the staging in Paris of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, a great exhibition of modern decorative arts that much later gave the Art Deco style its name. In Scotland in the inter-war era, Art Deco spread widely and was applied to buildings, objects and environments of many kinds. Despite turbulent economic circumstances, the style was associated with progress and with a hoped-for better future. It also had resonances with developments in visual culture across the wider European continent and in the USA, with which Scotland shared strong historic and modern cultural links, as well as with a British Empire by then in decline. At The Glasgow School of Art, the Head of Architecture in the 1900s, Eugène Bourdon, was a Parisian who had worked in New York. Bourdon who had himself been trained in the Beaux Arts manner, went on to train many of the generation of architects who came to prominence in 1920s-30s Scotland and whose work exhibited Art Deco traits. Bruce Peter is Professor of Design history at The Glasgow School of Art, where he has been employed since 2002. His interest in inter-war design stretches back to his teen years and so the book and exhibition represent the accumulation of nearly four decades of engagement with the subject. Previously, Bruce has published extensively on specific relevant aspects – cinemas, ocean liners and hotels. In 2016-2018, he assisted with the preparation of the successful Victoria & Albert Museum exhibition ‘Ocean Liners: Speed and Style’ and thereafter contributed to ‘Art Deco by the Sea’ at the Sainsbury Centre for the Arts in Norwich. Bruce’s love of jazz music – particularly the big band variety – is reflected in the title. Supported by Turcan Connell and Lyon & Turnbull as the lead partners of the Scottish Art Deco Centenary and Art Deco Scotland: Design and Architecture in the Jazz Age. The exhibition is on show in the Reid Ground Floor Corridor until 28 April 2025.

This workshop engages with Southeast Asian sarongs as vessels for ancestral memory and cultural history. Drawing on their recent work, The Fingers Pulling The Thread (2024), artist Alaya Ang will take us through the forms and patterns of sarongs and Peranakan traditions to consider how gender, storytelling and resistance are explored through cloth. Sarongs invite us to explore gender beyond a binary as they carry distinct cultural and symbolic meanings across Southeast Asia, allowing for diverse gender expressions. The Bugis people of Sulawesi, for example, recognise five genders, and sarong styles shift accordingly; in performance traditions such as Wayang Peranakan, a Malay theatre form, the sarong moves between masculinity and femininity depending on how it is worn. Participants will learn about batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique, and get to use canting, a traditional pen-like tool to create their batik tulis (hand-drawn batik), developing individual motifs to inscribe personal and collective narratives onto cloth. You are encouraged to bring a piece of cloth that holds personal or familial significance for this workshop. This events programme is for young people aged 18–24 years old. While these workshops are intended for this age group, we are keen to be inclusive, and if you feel it would be particularly beneficial for you to attend, please contact our Learning Programme Manager, Rachel Prosser at rprosser@paul-mellon-centre.ac.uk. All making supplies are provided free of charge and workshops are in-person only. All workshops are wheelchair accessible. Spaces at the workshops are limited to create intimate discussion and instruction during hands-on sessions. - Convenors: Gabe Beckhurstis an art historian and curator who teaches modern and contemporary art at University College London (UCL), with an emphasis on Feminist, Queer and Trans histories of photography, performance and artists’ moving images.

Their writing has been published by LUX, Modern Art Oxford, Copenhagen Contemporary, Another Gaze and in Sculpture Journal.

Their practice consistently connects artistic research with collaboration and shared knowledge production. Recent exhibitions include The Fingers Pulling the Thread at Edinburgh Art Festival 2024, and Unravelled Gathering (The Rope) at Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh and Mimosa House, London, (2024). As a curator, Alaya's practice engages with environmental concerns, collaborative knowledge production and community-led initiatives.
