Last Weekend of Glasgow Graffiti Exhibition

This coming weekend is your last chance to see the Undesirable Type graffiti exhibition from Glasgow’s swg3 team.

Held in their converted warehouse by the Clyde in the city’s west end, the exhibition features installations and painting by local writers Gazmac, Asone and Wes Kingston, and closes after this Sunday.

Undesirable Type presents the third group show in the +44 141 space, breaking away from sculpture and painting to introduce graffiti and photography to the gallery’s schema. The three artists featured will reveal Graffiti’s efforts to discard its ‘Hip Hop’ lineage and shed the ‘tags’ to establish the art form as an illustrative and graphic practice, at home in the artists studio as much as on the street. Two of Glasgow’s most notorious ‘graffiti writers’, GAZMAC and ASONE will present a series of works on canvas and the gallery’s fabric, which demonstrate the art form?s evolution from the tunnels and railway bridges into the gallery context. Alongside the graffiti works Wes Kingston, will represent a series of photographic works closely entwined with graffiti rooted in our urban situation.

Gallery hours are Weds to Sun 12:00 to 18:00.
