Bruce Nauman s ARTIST ROOMS

Fri 17 April – Sun 31 May Tramway 5Tue – Fri 12 – 5pmSat & Sun 12 - 6pmClosed MondaysAdmission free

Tramway is delighted to present the first major solo exhibition in Scotland of work by internationally renowned American artist Bruce Nauman. The exhibition comes to Tramway as part of a nation wide project to launch an important new contemporary art collection, known as ARTIST ROOMS, one of the largest and most imaginative gifts of art ever made to museums in Britain. The collection of 725 works, representing one of the most important holdings of post-war and contemporary international art in private hands, was assembled by Anthony d’Offay, whose London galleries played a key role in the promotion and understanding of twentieth-century art in the UK over a period of more than 30 years. Since the mid 1960s Bruce Nauman has been one of the most highly respected and influential figures in contemporary art. He is noted for his toughness, his refusal to compromise, his exploratory way of working and his search for self-knowledge. Often

concerned with linguistic experiments and paradoxes, his work combines issues of bodily consciousness, physical activity, mental activity, double entendre and a good splash of humour. It also focuses on perception, spatial relationships, human psychology and explicitly involves issues of life and death. Early in his career he abandoned painting in favour of sculpture, performance, installation, film, video, photography and neon (amongst other activities). His restless intellect seems to drive a continual questioning experimentation and re-invention in his artistic practice. The works in ARTIST ROOMS cover nearly 30 years and a wide range of his work in different media. The important early neon La Brea/Art Tips/Rat Spit/Tar Pits (1972) creates an anagrammatic play on the place name La Brea Tar Pits, a prehistoric site excavated in Los Angeles. Another neon work entitled Trust Me Only Big Studio (1984) further demonstrates Nauman’s interest in spatial and linguistic ambiguity. Other works featured include Violent Incident (1986) a seminal video work featuring two lovers who constantly pull away each others chairs; two further videos Raw Materials Washing Hands (1996) and Setting a Good Corner (Allegory and Metaphor) (1999), and several other sculptural works including Untitled (Hand Circle) (1996) and Partial Truth, (1997). s

Welcome to our Spring/Summer 2009 Season.

For more than 20 years Tramway has provided Scotland with some of the most original, inspiring and often provocative events seen in the UK. Our Spring / Summer 09 season will, at first glance, seem no different. However, take a closer look and you’ll find we have an array of stimulating family and participation events on offer. Tramway as always, likes to surprise and we think we have something new and exciting for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience. Our Visual Arts Programme is full to bursting! In the iconic gallery space, Tramway 2 – one of the largest single galleries in the UK – we present for the first time in Europe (in collaboration with the Dallas Museum of Contemporary Art), Phil Collins’ the world won’t listen (17 April – 31 May). For fans of 80’s band, The Smiths, this will be a must-see exhibition. Our first Tramway 5 exhibition of the season will be ARTIST ROOMS – a collaboration between the National Galleries of Scotland, Tate and Anthony D’Offay – to present the first solo show in Scotland from legendary American artist Bruce Nauman. Both exhibitions are free entry. Tramway’s performance season surfs a theatrical shockwave, as controversial artist and theatre-maker Jan Fabre returns to play with our minds. Orgy of Tolerance is a sweeping performance on the excesses of modern life, shot through with an absurdist nod to Monty Python. Victoria / Campo returns with their new production Venizke, presenting a number of assembled dreamers and look-a-likes all hoping to find fame and some form of immortality on a stage. This is a tale all too often shared by all of us, but soon their own vulnerabilities and weaknesses become garishly apparent. Les Ballet C. de la B. brings a change of pace with their new production Ashes. This beautiful and moving dance performance takes as its theme loss and impermanence. It features live musical arrangements of Handel’s love duets sung by alto and soprano singers – as a counterpoint to the

dazzling display of movement, by a company of eight amazing dancers. Finally, in June, as the season draws to a close we end in epic fashion with Wayn Traub’s Maria-Magdalena. In this extraordinary production, Wayn combines film, music, opera, performance and dance, in a stunning and unique union. Unique in it’s presentation, this darkly complex and richly layered tapestry of stories will simply blow you away! Our rapidly growing Participation programme steps up a gear during this spring and summer, with classes, workshops and seminars focussing on a variety of disciplines for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. Allied to this activity, our Family programme highlight is the internationally acclaimed children’s play The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy – perfect for older primary aged children. To update you all on the building works, Scottish Ballet is preparing to move into its new purpose built headquarters and aims to do so during late summer. The new building – adjacent to Tramway – not only brings an inspiring architectural addition to Pollokshields, but has also been the catalyst for some key alterations and additions to Tramway, such as our new gallery space Tramway 5, with its large windows onto Albert Drive. This brings – for the first time – an on-street presence to our programme. We will soon be installing a new reception area and upgrading the Café Bar lighting to further improve facilities for our visitors. As you can see from all this activity, over the next few months we are bringing to Glasgow some of the world’s most exciting artists and presenting an outstandingly innovative programme of work. We invite you to come and share the experiences they have to offer with us in the amazing environment that is Tramway. s

We look forward to welcoming you!

Phil Collins s the world won’t listen

Fri 17 April – Sun 31 May Tramway 2Tue – Fri 12 – 5pmSat & Sun 12 - 6pmClosed MondaysAdmission free

Tramway is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Scotland by internationally renowned British artist Phil Collins. In his works in video and photography, Collins negotiates the problems of representation by underlining the complex and unpredictable transferences that occur between the producer, the subject and the viewer. He often works in socially and politically contested regions, employing elements of popular culture, low-budget television and reportage-style documentary to articulate a form of critical proximity to contemporary media – both a fascination with and wariness of the ways in which they structure the lived experience itself. Collins’ recent projects include, amongst others, a disco-dance marathon organised in Ramallah, Palestine; a talk-show confessional and press conference with former participants of reality TV in Turkey and the UK; and a telenovela produced in Mexico City as an oblique comment on the questions of race, class and immigration in Bush-era America.

In all its manifold manifestations, Collins’ practice puts equal value on an initial situation of production and the subsequent gallery re-presentation, without exclusively adhering to either one in particular. For the exhibition at Tramway, Collins will present the European premiere of his acclaimed three-part video installation the world won’t listen. Filmed in Colombia, Turkey and Indonesia, the trilogy features fans of the influential indie-rock band The Smiths performing karaoke versions of tracks from their 1987 compilation album of the same name. Collins first began work on the world won’t listen in 2004 in Bogotá, re-recording the album note for note with local musicians, producing a fully functioning karaoke machine and inviting participants to come and perform their favourite songs. The second part took place in Istanbul in 2005 and was included in the 9th International Istanbul Biennial. The third part was filmed in 2007 in Jakarta and Bandung, the hotbeds of a flowering Indonesian rock-scene. Out of hundreds of takes from each country, Collins re-assembled the world won’t listen in its original running order, thus creating a collection of ‘video-albums.’ A tender, humorous, and occasionally heartbreaking portrait of humanity, the work is a study on the mediation and strength of popular culture’s global reach. In many ways representative of both the rigour and sensitivity that characterise Collins’ artistic method, it offers a poignant look at one’s desires and struggle for

individual expression or, as the artist has said, at ‘the sweet agony of self-fulfillment and self-limitation.’ The work has been generously loaned to Tramway by the Dallas Museum of Art, where it premiered in November 2007. The exhibition also includes two groups of wall-based works. An earlier photographic series britney (2001) comprises large-scale prints of defaced Britney Spears posters which Collins photographed in the New York subway. Infusing these discarded and abject images, caught in an extreme close-up, with a pseudo-monumental pathos it is as if Collins implies that the camera, the original agent of her spectacular degradation, might now be able to re-humanise the fallen star. A suite of screenprints produced in 2006 is based on letters that a young Morrissey, himself an obsessive fan and at the time an aspiring music writer, wrote to the London music weeklies in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Collins brings back to light a selection of these passionate and sharp-tongued contributions which only rarely made it into the reviews proper, as well as some of Morrissey’s messages from the Classified Advertisements. Both works expand on one of the central aspects of the world won’t listen, namely the issue of fandom and cultural fascination, and throw a personal light on mechanisms of carefully constructed self-image and the idea of self-mythologisation. Born in 1970 in Runcorn, England, and currently based in Glasgow and Berlin, Phil Collins earned his

B.A. at the University of Manchester and received his M.F.A. from the University of Ulster, School of Art & Design, Belfast. His work has been the subject of recent exhibitions at Aspen Art Museum (2008), Dallas Museum of Art (2007), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (2006), Tate Britain, London (2006) and Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Gent (2006). Recent group exhibitions include Life on Mars, 55th Carnegie International, Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh (2008), Double Agent, Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2008), and Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality and the Moving Image, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington (2008). Collins received a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Visual Arts in 2001. In 2006 he was shortlisted for the Turner Prize, a contemporary art award widely recognized as one of the most important and prestigious awards for the visual arts in Europe. The exhibition will be accompanied by a programme of events. Please see the Tramway website for further details. An exclusive limited edition print by the artist will also be available from the Tramway Box Office along with a comprehensive catalogue on the world won’t listen published by Dallas Museum of Art and Yale University Press, edited by Suzanne Weaver and Sinisa Mitrovic, with contributions by Bruce Hainley, Liz Kotz and Simon Reynolds, and an in-depth interview with the artist. s

One of two major solo exhibitions in Scotland during 2009, featuring the work of internationally acclaimed artist Cerith Wyn Evans. A=P=P=A=R=I=T=I=O=N at Tramway will follow on from Cerith Wyn Evans solo exhibition at Inverleith House in the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, between Sat 9 May — Sun 5 July 2009. Tramway is delighted to present the European première of the sound installation entitled A=P=P=A=R=I=T=I=O=N (2008), a collaboration between Welsh artist Cerith Wyn Evans and the experimental music collective Throbbing Gristle, in which disc-shaped speakers doubling as mirrors emit a seductive, high-frequency soundtrack. A=P=P=A=R=I=T=I=O=N consists of a large mobile sculpture, incorporating 16 suspended and highly polished circular ‘audio spotlight’ panels. The panels emit directional sound almost in the form of a spotlight or column, using innovative new technology which has been developed by holosonic research labs. The seminal music group Throbbing Gristle evolved from the performance art collective COUM Transmissions in 1975 and are renowned for their avant-garde performances and radical approach to music production. The group have composed a haunting, multi-channel soundtrack that plays back through the sculpture to create an immersive, sensory audio experience emphasizing the sculptural qualities of sound. A=P=P=A=R=I=T=I=O=N formed the central part of the 2008 Yokohama Triennale in Japan from 13 Sept to 30 Nov. The work will be exhibited at Tramway courtesy of the artists and Jay Jopling/ White Cube (London). s

Jan Fabre (UK Première) s Orgy of Tolerance

Fri 10 & 11 April 7.30pm £14 / £9Tramway 1www.troubleyn.be

Tramway presents the UK première performances of controversial Belgian artist and theatre maker Jan Fabre’s latest production Orgy of Tolerance. With music, dancers and actors Fabre paints a graphic image of today’s society, questioning it’s indulgence and lust for excess. Using often absurd and surreal performance, he explores the tensions within our credit card fuelled culture, in which anything and everything is available for purchase, but any deviation from the norm is considered unacceptable. In this hugely uncompromising show Fabre suggests that perhaps nothing has the power to shock any more. Jan Fabre is well known for pushing the boundaries of any art form he works with and is considered by many to be one of the most extraordinary artists of our time. s

This production contains scenes of an explicit and adult nature, and therefore is not recommended for those under the age of 16.

Co-produced by Festival Internacional de Teatro ‘Santiago a Mil’ (CL), Montclair State University (US), Tanzhaus NRW (Düsseldorf), DeSingel (Anvers), Théâtre de la Ville (Paris) and Romaeuropa Festival (Rome).

For Venizke, Ben Benaouisse and Lies Pauwels, who brought us White Star in 2005, assemble an international cast combining six exceptional actors and dancers. In the shadow of a miniature Eiffel Tower, the obsessive desire to be famous is deconstructed to a soundtrack encompassing the castrato Moreschi, and Amy Winehouse. Venizke is like a little Russian doll – a theatre within a theatre, turning the spotlight on itself and the actors on themselves. They bring fragile, personal testimonies that seem autobiographical in meaning. Our attention is drawn to the human behind the performers mask. The characters are struggling to strike a balance between who they really are and what the public seeks from them. Venizke will ask you to look past the performance to the people beyond. s

Vanessa (Scottish Première) s Look mummy, I’m dancing

Fri 17 & Sat 18 April 7.45pm £10 / £6Tramway 4www.fransbrood.com

A transsexual woman slowly but resolutely peels off her sixty-year-old skin until we find ourselves face to face with the reverse side of a soul. The encounter is confrontational. The arrows hit their mark. This monologue is a moving lament on one person’s struggle for simple happiness, and it leaves a lasting impression. Vanessa Van Durme, born a boy in 1948, became ‘the first Belgian transsexual’ at a time when this was a very rare occurrence and the process was in its infancy. It was also a time when people did not hide their distaste. Vanessa wrote her book, Look mummy, I’m dancing, and from it distilled the monologue of the same name, which she performs in four languages all over Europe and America. In her monologue, in which Vanessa speaks openly about her sex change, she hopes to remove public prejudice and show that people who are ‘slightly different’ are also … people.

Tolerance and accepting someone who is ‘different’ are important items on Vanessa’s agenda. She recounts her moving story without shame, often making the audience burst out laughing. Quite simply Look mummy, I’m dancing is a lesson in living. s

s CREATIVE EXCHANGE LAB:IN THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIMEJanice Parker and DancersMonday 20 – Friday 25 April

This season we welcome Janice Parker to Tramway with the beginnings of a new project being developed for Tramway’s future programme. At this time, the research being carried out is not open to the public, but you may see Janice around the building from time to time, interacting with dancers in the building. This is the preliminary research phase for Janice’s new work Private Dancer where choreographic material will be devised by particular dancers with a learning disability, focussing on each dancer’s distinct and personal movement vocabularies. Working in collaboration with an installation artist to create personal spaces, Private Dancer will, when completed, play with audience preconceptions. The lab time will be used to explore these ideas and the overall concept, acting as the initial spark for each of the performers to begin creating their choreography. In this first phase, the lab overlaps with Scottish Dance Theatre working in Tramway. This provides an opportunity for professional exchange with their dancers, their creative team and the Agent for Change. Both direct and indirect exchanges between the companies will result from being in the same space at the same time. s

Private Dancer is funded by SAC Lottery (Disability Open Arts Fund), DanceHouse and is supported by Tramway.

Harry, a shell-shocked soldier, is trying to piece his life back together with the help of a psychiatrist. Digging deeper, the psychiatrist uncovers a mysterious secret that takes Harry back to his childhood home, for a journey into the past that leads to a surprising encounter in the present.

Wayn Traub (UK Première) s Maria-Magdalena

Thu 4 – Sat 6 June 7.30pm £12 / £8Tramway 1www.wayntraub.net

Following Maria-Dolores and Jean-Baptiste, Tramway presents the UK première of the long-awaited third part of Wayn Traub’s trilogy, Maria-Magdalena. This stunning and beautifully crafted production, merging dance, music and film, brings the acclaimed trilogy to its decadent and spellbinding conclusion. In Maria-Magdalena we encounter: an archaeologist in search of the original statue of Salome, a macho who secretly records his sex life by means of a camera built into his spectacles, a Colombian exorcist who has the devil almost within his grasp, and a blindfolded singer who is cared for in a Chinese convent where all the nuns are stunningly beautiful. The different story lines (filmed in China and in Europe) are projected onto three film screens in a mesmerising mosaic. This intense dialogue is presented along with newly composed music by Jåån Hellkvist and Wayn Traub. s

PRODUCTION: Toneelhuis. CO-PRODUCTION: Théâtre de la Ville, Parijs (FR), Teatro de la Laboral – Ciudad de la Cultura, Gijón (ES), Productiehuis Rotterdam (Rotterdamse Schouwburg (NL) , International Theater Festival v/ Kulturhus Århus (DK), Theaterfestival Boulevard, s’-Hertogenbosch (NL), ThePlanetArtdirectors (BE).

‘It’s the bold, post-modern form Traub uses to tell his stories that tends to leave audiences gasping.’The Scotsman on Jean-Baptiste, Tramway, 2005

Imagine Oedipus meeting Edward Scissorhands, over a dish of exotic curds. This quirky, beautiful, dark and very funny theatre show will transport you to a fantastical world of loss, trickery, gypsies, discovery and, of course, cheese. s

Norman Douglas & Company s Say it’s not true Touching Tongues Chora

Fri 12 & Sat 13 June 7.30pm £10 / £6Tramway 1www.norman-douglas-and-company.com

Award winning choreographer Norman Douglas presents three dance pieces from his acclaimed company’s repertoire.

Say it’s not TrueA solo for female dancer by Norman Douglas, set to the music of Alfred Schnittke. This piece is a disturbing meditation of one woman’s life. Her name was Camille Claudel and she was one of the great artists of the late 19th century. This solo is the choreographer’s response to the later period of her tragic life and not a biographical statement of her loss of liberty and sadness. It is a comment on a society that she could not be allowed to survive in.(for Camille 1864 – 1943)(Duration 10mins)

Touching Tongues Danced by artistic director Norman Douglas, this solo is a dark look at the world behind closed doors. What secrets does this man hide? Why is he so afraid to let the world touch him? Caught up in his hysteria and paranoia he confides and then tortures the only person who knows his secrets, his teddy bear.(Duration 10mins)

ChoraChora is a space, which is both eternal, and indestructible. It provides a position for everything that comes into being. The work explores the psychoanalytic challenge of the other self or the clash of ego’s that constantly fight for control within the deranged depths of the disillusioned mind. The archaic drive to separate is constantly fighting the suffocating needs of the other. (Duration 14mins 47secs)

‘The need to survive is paramount to our existence no matter the cost involved. We strive to make sense of the moment that we live in, constantly searching for the possibilities in ourselves as we struggle to live. I see myself as a storyteller with tales that may lie hidden for many years but they are in all of us historically, present and future. The question to our collective problem which we all face is “how we continue to be human”. These works all have one thing in common, the needs of the self to continue searching in the face of adversity even if it means keeping a secret or losing one. I search for meaning using mediums such as critical theory, music, literature, history, world events, which create small energetic bursts of matter which ferment over time’. Norman Douglas s

She Settles in the ShieldsUntold stories of migrant women in PollokshieldsTue 5 May – Sun 31 MayTramway Foyer and Upper Foyer

A publication and exhibition, to acknowledge and celebrate the lives and contribution of migrant women who settled in Pollokshields from the 1940s to present day. This exhibition of stories and artifacts will tell of the journeys the women have made, their experience of settling in Pollokshields and how they got involved with the community. Pollokshields is currently and historically been an area with a high migrant population. Since the 1940’s waves of immigrants have settled and enriched the area by bringing with them their distinct cultural heritages, traditions, faiths and cultures. In the last 60 years, the area has had a large Irish, Jewish, Indian, Pakistani and recently Somali, and Afghani communities who made their home or business in the area. Today East Pollokshields has the largest and most diverse community in Scotland. Almost 50% of the population is of Black or Ethnic Minority backgrounds. East Pollokshields looks and feels very different to the rest of Pollokshields; little has been written or recorded on the subject. Furthermore, women’s history and present day experiences have traditionally been marginalised and socially excluded from the formal history of Glasgow. This project attempts to readdress that balance. The project is conducted in partnership with Pollokshields Development Agency and Glasgow Women’s Library.

Lost Wax Tue 14 – Sat18 April The Hidden Gardens’ BoilerhouseFree, limited capacity

Tramway and The Hidden Gardens will host a residency by sculptor Kirti Mandir, an artist who specialises in the ancient process of lost wax casting. Lost wax casting was developed in India over 4,000 years ago. Unlike modern casting techniques it is not dependant on modern foundry equipment and can therefore be carried out locally. Kirti will be based in The Hidden Gardens, working with a group of people from The Coach House Trust, The Hidden Gardens and Tramway. The group will create wax sculptures which will then be cast in bronze. On Friday 17 April casting will take place in The Hidden Gardens, throughout the day. Viewing is open to the public, followed by an evening of music, from 5 – 7pm.

Urban ArtsApril 2009 onwards

Tramway launches a year long programme of creative work in public spaces. The areas of Pollokshields and Govanhill will host an exciting range of performative and visual events. We are working with local agencies, Govanhill Youth Project, St Andrews Drive Tenants’ Association and YCSA to generate a spectrum of activities which will animate the local area and provide creative opportunities for young people. The works will be created through a series of residencies by artists skilled in music, physical theatre, parkour, new media and visual art. A workshop programme responding to the Bruce Nauman exhibition (see page 3) will launch the project. This will take place during Easter in Govanhill and Pollokshields. These workshops will result in the citing of neon text signs in public space during May. Check www.tramway.org/participation or go to Urban art Tramway on Bebo for more details. This project is supported by Scottish Power, Cashback for Communities Scotland, Arts and Business, Glasgow Housing Association, Glasgow City Council and Culture and Sport Glasgow. s

The D&G Collection

The Hidden Gardens is a unique haven of peace, tranquility and nature – created for all to enjoy. If you have never visited the Gardens before, come and see how this urban environment has been transformed. Spring and early summer is an excellent time to visit the Hidden Gardens. Spring brings hope and renewal – central themes to the design and work of the Hidden Gardens. In response to spring, from April onwards we will be developing two areas of the Gardens to encourage wildlife and greater biodiversity. We hope to plant a new meadow area and across our demonstration beds develop nectar plants, wild plants with seeds and berries, wild food for caterpillars and night scented plants to attract moths. We will also be increasing habitat areas to encourage butterflies and bees. And to attract the rest of us, the planting will be colourful and interesting. If you wish to develop your garden, come to our ever more popular plant sale from 12-4pm on Saturday 30th May and Sunday 31 May 2009. The Hidden Gardens is more than a garden and we are pleased to be hosting our first collaborative art installation with Tramway. Our Starry Night by James Yamada will be in place until May 2009 and provide opportunities for visitors to light up the Gardens and reflect on their relationship with the world. The Hidden Gardens is always looking for volunteers to assist our small team.
