Tramway

As long as you follow certain lines, everything is fine. As soon as they change, everything will be different. Am I lost?

Düsseldorf-based artist Christel Blömeke will be questioning the lines of Glasgow; those that are visible and those that are invisible. Her interdisciplinary project is a collaboration with teachers and students of the Art, Music, German and Drama Departments of Bishopbriggs Academy.

Situated on a static grid, Glasgow offers millions of encounters. But what is the one that strikes and takes hold of you?

On top of a sightseeing bus, the students take notes of everything that catches their interest. Their sketches, recordings, photographs and thoughts will be then transformed into new audio, visual and performance art works. The works will initiate an experimental dialogue at Tramway, an old venue with the history of carriages pulled by horses, stables and later trams. The tramlines which once set off from here will set off in a new direction.
