Another exhibition yesterday, at GOMA, Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art. I went to have a look at new exhibition called ‘Country Grammar’. It is billed as being “focused on the different approaches to drawing within the working processes of seven artists based in Glasgow“. It wasn’t what I had expected, but then I guess my expectations were a little out of whack because really what it was – was exactly as billed, a look at the different forms 2 and 3 dimensional drawings can take as well as highlighting the similarities.

A couple of American ladies were there talking to the man who sits on the stool making sure you don’t touch anything. They were talking in a whole lot of artsy fartsy flowering, supposedly ‘knowledgeable about art’ kind of language, while he was answering their questions in mono syllables.

If you listened closely he was in fact praising the exhibition quietly. I’d consider that very worthy praise myself – much higher than that of the loudish women…
