Gsa Exhibitions, The Glasgow School Of Art

Future Experiences / Brand X 8-10 Jan, 15-17 Jan 2019
Reid Gallery
... Two group outcomes from current student projects at Glasgow School of Art (GSA) BDes/MEDes Product Design, Innovation School.
Future Experiences: Work In Progress 8-10 January 2019 Year 4 Product Design students from the GSA Innovation School, were asked in this 8-week project to respond to the theme 'Personalised Health in a Consumer Age'. The project brief has had an emphasis on precision medicine and the future of cancer. The exhibits are a combination of artefact, text, interaction, and installation. During the process, students worked with an expert panel of 20 medical academics and healthcare professionals with expertise ranging from Consultant Pathologists at the NHS, to Clinical Scientists, a Head of Laboratory Genetics, to the Executive Director of the International Genome Consortium and patient representatives.
The project partner is the Institute of Cancer Research at the University of Glasgow. The institute is part of the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences.
Brand X 15-17 January 2019 Working in small teams of three or four, Year 3 Product Design students from the GSA Innovation School, have been asked to develop propositions for a new lifestyle brand aimed at the home of the future, 2028.
Given a specific 'room' within the home, each team is asked to identify and respond to emerging social, cultural, technological, economic and political phenomena, and anticipate how these might manifest themselves in new concerns, desires and behavious within the domestic context.
Using the mechanism of the Pop-Up, the outcome of each speculation is manifest as a promotional 'stall' for an imagined new brand, where the core value proposition must be articulated through a combination of visual communication, artefacts and environment into a coherent, branded experience.
The purpose of the project is not necessarily to suggest that these various ideas should exist (some may indeed adopt a dystopian perspective), but rather, through the act of making their ideas tangible and placing them within the familiar context of the home, to ask the audience to consider their implication: if we accept that an appetite for such speculative products and services might exist 10 years from now, how do these various future visions of domestic life make us feel... is this a future we want?

The GSA Public Lecture Presents: Making Waves A lecture by Prof. Dugald Cameron

... Maurice Bloch Lecture Theatre Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Glasgow 242 St. Vincent Street Glasgow G2 5RJ

Arguably the most important technological development to affect the lives of women in the last 50 or so years has been diagnostic obstetrics ultrasound. For a few short years in the late 50's and early 60's, Glasgow led the world in its development. A unique collaboration between experts in clinical obstetrics, engineering, electronics and industrial design created the first prototypes and production models of ultrasound scanners for routine obstetrics scanning in Glasgow hospitals.
To celebrate the 60th anniverary of the publication of the first and seminal Lancet paper alerting the medical profession to the possibilities of the use of ultrasound, just 10 years after the birth of the NHS, Professor Dugald Cameron, Director of The Glasgow School of Art (GSA) from 1991 to 1999, will give a keynote lecture of his pivotal role, as a final year industrial design student and for his first paid commission, in the design and realisation of the prototype Sunden machine, and then the first commercially produced ultrasonic scanner in the world, the Diasonograph, manufactured by Kelvin and Hughes, Glasgow.
The lecture will be followed by a reception in the adjacent Lower Library Room.
The lecture will be introduced by Professor Alastair Macdonald, who studied under Cameron in the 1970's and who is now Senior Researcher in the School of Design at GSA, who will also provide details of the forthcoming Ultrasonic Glasgow exhibition at GSA featuring Cameron's drawings from the GSA Archive, as well as more recent GSA ultrasonics-related design and research.
This event is part of The GSA Public Lecture Series.

This on-going Public Seminar Series started in October 2015 with the topic 'Women, Picture, Place', in which guest speakers from Scotland and Finland presented research findings on women photographers and film makers addressing 'the North' in the 1930s. The October 2017 event addressed the theme of 'Place Image, Heritage and Archaelogy'. This October 2018 seminar will be on the theme: 'An Auto-ethnographic Turn'.
Auto-ethnography is an approach to observation and field work that has been adopted in various ways in art and design research and practice. Auto-ethnography developed in order to disrupt the unequal power relations that had obtained between apparently objective external specialist observers of people, places and activities and the observed 'others' of observation. In practice, expressions range from a species of situated autobiographical artworks, writings and reflections, through to the considered evaluation of the 'observer's part' in the research process and their negotiations with participants. In relation to the concerns of the Northern Lens series, our contributors to this seminar will discuss how their work engages with the auto-ethnographic shaped in very specific ways by notions of 'North'.
Co-organisers: Dr Frances Robertson, Dr Nicky Bird and Jenny Brownrigg
