Alastair MacLennan is one of the UK's most significant and prolific performance artists. Alastair's performances, which he terms 'actuations' reflect on political, social and cultural issues and malfunctions. He developed his own distinctive form of performance art in the early 1970s and continues to create new work using sculpture, installation and drawing.

Many of Alastair's works and actuations respond to the period of the Troubles, with the artist having lived in Belfast since 1975. In three weeks' time, Alastair will join us in the Hunterian Art Gallery for a one off performance and talk over the course of two days, responding to the work of Irish artist Cathy Wilkes.

Congratulations to Football Museum & Hampden Stadium Tour at Hampden Park who recently introduced virtual reality technology that helps football fans living with dementia rekindle big match memories. VR headsets that transport supporters back to Scotland’s national stadium in the 1960s was launched by Mark Hateley – both ex-professional footballer and Alzheimer Scotland ambassador. They were shown how the 3-D immersive experience can help recreate the sights, sounds and atmosphere of past historic encounters.

The technology brings to life three key elements of bygone match days – travelling to the game, clicking through the turnstiles and cheering from Hampden’s vast terraces.

The VR project – the first of its kind in the UK – aims to offer therapeutic taster experiences and builds on a partnership begun by the charity Alzheimer Scotland and the Hampden-based Scottish Football Museum in 2009.

New exhibition ‘Artist: Unknown’ is now open at the Art Gallery!

Curated by students from the University of Glasgow's Exhibition Development course, the show presents a small selection of objects from our World Cultures collection that have information missing from their records.

Because the name of the artist or maker hasn’t been recorded, the students have turned to the places the objects were created, and the communities they belonged to, in an attempt to fill these gaps.

Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10.00am until 5.00pm. Free entry.

Congratulations to Celtic Park Events who are celebrating the announcement that their stadium tour has been named the best family-friendly day out in the world according to travel ratings experts, Tripadvisor.

This fantastic achievement comes after the Celtic Park tour was given a gold award by Tripadvisor as one of the top attractions in the UK last year, and this latest piece of success for the Celts sees the Paradise tour named as one of the best visitor experiences in the world.

Sam and Max from Maine in the United States, along with Graham from Massachusetts, were only too happy to wax lyrical about their experience at Paradise.

“I’m a big soccer fan and I loved the tour, it was amazing,” said Max. “I loved the trophy room, and my favourite trophy was the European Cup.

'I would recommend it to my friends. I’ve loved being here, it was a great experience.'

Graham added: “The facilities are great and the tour guide was really funny and witty, but he was also very knowledgeable.

“You can tell how much it means to the people here.”
