An online drawing class on the incredible world and work of illustrator Feliks Topolski in collaboration with his extensive archive

Senior curator Charlotte Topsfield will speak about the current display of works on paper by artists William McCance and Agnes Miller Parker. Dubbed ‘that clever couple from Glasgow who believe in cubist methods’, the two artists combined a radical artistic vision with outstanding skill in drawing, printmaking and book design. This talk will focus on their work in the 1920s and 30s, including illustrations for the celebrated Gregynog Press. To meet demand we are also offering an online live stream of the event. Space is very limited, please do not come to the event without a pre-booked ticket.

This exhibition brings together work by internationally renowned textile artist collective, the 62 Group, taking as its starting point the theme and process of tailoring. Cutting, tacking and construction techniques all feature strongly in the exhibition, whether based on imagery of tailoring, or branching into new directions. Stitches themselves become a new language of mark or construction. Highly personal, compelling and thought provoking themes lie behind many of the works. The life cloth and clothing, as well as its connection through time and place, demonstrates the unique role of textiles in our lives. Clothing as a second skin becomes a symbol for the body and also provides a means to explore identity and self-image. Tailored is a touring exhibition from Sunny Bank Mills in West Yorkshire

The Observer The Scotsman London-based Do Ho Suh (born 1962, Seoul) is one of the world’s leading contemporary artists. This expansive exhibition explores the foundational role that drawing and paper play in Suh’s artistic practice, focusing on his collaborative methods, experimental techniques, and innovative use of materials. Suh creates engaging and imaginative artworks that ask questions about home and identity. ‘Home’ is so much more than the place you live. Your own version of home is a fundamental part of who you are, influenced by your day-to-day life and your deepest memories. Do Ho Suh explores some of these fascinating ideas in his first solo exhibition in Scotland, taking over an entire level of Modern One. The exhibition presents the artist’s complex and compelling thread drawings – in which cotton thread is embedded in handmade paper – alongside architectural rubbings, paper sculptures, cyanotypes, printmaking and watercolours. There is also an immersive installation of Suh’s famed ‘hubs’, life-size sculptures that recreate physical spaces in colourful, translucent fabric. Visitors to the exhibition can enter and move through this innovative reimagining of places meaningful to the artist and his life.This installation is designed to be viewed from the outside or the inside. It is accessible to standard sized wheelchairs (the passage is 79 cm wide at its narrowest point. At busy times we may have to close or restrict access to the inside.
