Viewing single post of blog Four for Mutuality

JULIET- GSA Mutual crawled in to a hole over Christmas to eat and sleep, underground its great, fluffy body swelled and got stronger and as the old year expired The Mutual, Glasgow emerged into the light a bigger, better beast for 2010!

Formed in fear to thwart a promised pessimistic future GSA Mutual had a good run in 2009, a summer of exhibitions an autumn of events sustaining a community of young artists. But after speaking at the Artist’s DIY soapbox at the Collective Gallery Edinburgh, the Mutuals took themselves back to their houses and started to work on Mr. Mutual’s internals.

As we have gone along our interest in our idealistic idea only continues to grow. But becoming more confident and ambitious we thought we would ditch the GSA bit. The time has come, we thought to throw of the apron strings of the august institution that drew us all together and spat us out in to the world. So will lay GSA Mutual down to rest and leap up again as The Mutual, no longer framing ourselves as an organisation of recent graduates but as a collective of early career artists, with a portfolio of exciting projects planned for the New Year.

As time has gone on our organisation had grown bigger to encompass musicians and DJs, writers and filmmakers, all of whom have played a great part in past Mutual event and continue to make our exhibitions and events multi disciplinary affairs.

The Mutual is now open to new members, so if you’re an early career artist, or a DJ, musician, writer or filmmaker based in Glasgow for that matter, email [email protected] for more information. We would love to have you.

The next blog post will be about the breathtakingly exciting plans we have for 2010, grrrr!
