\n \u201cWe represent quite a new direction for Transmission,\u201d said Donaldson.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cSome of the exciting new work that we\u2019re doing involves transgressing the disciplinary boundaries that often exist,\u201d said Donaldson.\n<\/p>\n

\n One example is a funding call for artists to take part in the Lovelace Hodgkin Symposium at the University of Glasgow. Working in teams comprising a scientist, a philosopher and an artist, participants will develop work exploring how AI influences our lives in ways that are not immediately visible.\n<\/p>\n
\n Committee member and artist Negin Saeed Jordan said: \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to be like a normal gallery, so everything can be very experimental, and we support artists that want to do something different and try it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe came in with some new energy and some new ideas, and we wanted to mark the important anniversary but at the same time communicate that Transmission is back,\u201d said Donaldson.\n<\/p>\n
\n Curated by musician Jer Reid, the programme brought together emerging artists from Glasgow\u2019s creative scene for live performances and visual art.\n<\/p>\n
\n The line-up included Comfort, a queer alternative band; multi-instrumentalist and songwriter R. Aggs; musician and sound designer Joe Howe; Chizu Nnamdi, whose practice experiments at the intersection of music, video and site-responsive performance; and Rachel N\u00ed Chuinn, whose work with sound, movement, text and electronics explores ideas of touch and physicality.\n<\/p>\n
\n Alongside the performances, attendees could see installations by local artists Paige Silverman, Toby Messenger, Raymond MacDonald, Saul Auty and Fritz Welch.\n<\/p>\n
\n The programme offered a lively mix of sound, performance and visual art, with attendees enjoying an evening of thought-provoking work.\n<\/p>\n
\n It was a reminder of what has kept Transmission going for four decades: giving artists the freedom to experiment, collaborate and take risks.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWhen we started Transmission, we wanted to have as wide a variety of artwork as possible,\u201d said Rogan.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThere\u2019s artwork that went up that was exhibited that I helped to invigilate and look after that I hated, but that didn\u2019t matter.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe fact is other people had a vision and we gave them space to show that stuff.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Reflecting on the work that had been put into keeping Transmission alive and its continued support for local artists, Rogan said:\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt\u2019s lovely to see that it still exists and that some people were able to use it as a starting point for a career in the art world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Established in Glasgow in 1983, Transmission is Scotland\u2019s longest-standing artist-run space.
