This exhibition was due to take place during Glasgow International 2020, 23 April – 10 May, which has been postponed due to the Covid-19 crisis. The festival will be re-staged in 2021 with dates to be announced.

An exhibition of exhibitionists: Don’t Let The Bastards Grind You Down, starring Liv Fontaine, Paul Kindersley, and Huhtamaki Wab. Known for creating larger-than-life personae, these artists explore the surreal, the political, and the outrageous within their own lives and wider society. Their diverse practices also span painting, performance, film, and social media.

Fontaine, Kindersley, and Wab may be better known for their work in film or performance, but by bringing the three together, the exhibition aims to draw attention to the paintings and drawings that underpin each artist’s practice. Expect whimsical scenes of joy, depravity and all the in-between messiness of lives lived in public and in private.
