The Meal In the previous issue of The List we announced this year’s Eating & Drinking Guide Awards. One of the places we looked at long and hard this time round when judging the hotly contested Newcomer of the Year category was Bijou, located on the…
(Picture: © Anne Pinniger) ‘Tropic of Capricorn’. It’s just there, written clearly on a road sign in the middle of nowhere. Dirty yellow sand in the air, the track ahead glittering with fool’s gold as though it had been chucked away. The landscape…
A cunning fusion of Brazilian and British musical skills is being showcased at a series of gigs in Glasgow this July. The series of gigs, in association with TrocaBrahma beer, are the result of an exchange programme where UK artists travel to South…
David Hughes Dance Company David Hughes knows a thing or two about pain. As one of the most interesting dancers of his generation, Hughes has performed with the UK’s finest companies, from Rambert to DV8. But with his 40th birthday on the horizon…
New album The Boy With No Name is more of a grower than your other ones. Have you had time to go back, reflect on it and enjoy it? Fran Healy We’re beginning to get a bit of distance from it so you get an idea of what it’s about. Dougie Payne…
Roderick Buchanan: Histrionics As part of the Blind Faith: Contemporary Art and Human Rights series of events at GoMA, Roderick Buchanan takes a personal view of the sectarian past and present in Glasgow, representing both sides of the abominable…
Alexander Kennedy Can you tell us what you’ll be showing at the Collective and about the work’s subject matter? Keren Cytter I’m showing seven videos in one room called ‘The Dates Series’ and three videos in another room with wall text. The subject…
FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY. The new work by Glasgow-based artist Roderick Buchanan on show at GoMA forces the viewer to face the anti-Christian hatred that some Catholics and Protestants still revel in in Scotland. His work is a response to the sectarian…
SCULPTURE AND WORK ON PAPER Major Tom’s a junkie, and John Wayne Gacy’s a serial killer - it’s no wonder that clowns get a bad rap these days, and that bozophobia is apparently running rife amongst the seemingly sanest of folk. But in Alex Pollard’s…
INSTALLATION Although Fiona Jardine claims to be influenced by everything from TS Eliot’s high literary Modernism to the pagan iconography of the Green Man (via Francis Rabelais, Brett Easton Ellis, Weiner Werkstatte, and Dagobert Peche among many…
‘It’s kind of like when you are a child, and you really want a certain toy, but can’t have it, so you make your own version instead,’ says London-based artist Peter Liversidge of his own homemade versions of everyday and perhaps not-so-everyday things…
SITCOM With ITV and Channel 4 still flailing around from one comedy outrage to another and dishing out sitcom calamity after sitcom calamity, it’s BBC3 who can proudly wear the telly crown when it comes to making this digital nation laugh. And main…
What on earth could be funny about a man who slaughtered millions of people and influenced many a nutter in the post-cyanide years? Quite a lot, according to Jacques Peretti in his very fine Hitler: The Comedy Years (Channel 4, Thu 10 May, 11.05pm, 4…
NEW WORK In selecting Grae Cleugh’s The Patriot as the first production of his reign, the Tron Theatre’s new director Gregory Thompson clearly had the zeitgeist in his sights. Unfortunately, the only thing he has shot is his own foot. Cleugh has…
NEW WORK In our current state of hyper reality the boundaries between the real and fiction have lost their clarity. We have an obsession with reality made fiction and problems differentiating between the two, issues addressed by David Leddy in his…
MUSICAL The joyful, if slightly fanciful tone of the Evening News banner ‘Beckham Signs for Hibees’ combined with the more sobering ‘Posh Spice seen in Jenners’ that appear early on in Dundee Rep’s stunning Proclaimers musical by Stephen Greenhorn…
NEW WORK Anyone who has experienced grief will be aware of its immense power as an emotion. This is often magnified by the fact that at least in Western society, it’s not a subject we’re encouraged to talk about. After losing his wife Susie Innes…
NEW WORK Foucault saw identity, who and what we think we are, as something fluid and changeable, a product of cultural circumstances. It’s a similar concept Adrian Osmond seeks to explore in his new one man play directed by Paddy Cunneen, for this…
CHILDREN’S THEATRE The launch of the National Theatre for Scotland saw a series of ten events staged over a few days through the length and breadth of the country in February 2006, and left, no doubt, a lasting impression on many an audience. For all…
NEW WORK It is incontestable that politicians aren’t held in high esteem these days, but what is often missed by those who criticise the political classes is that it might be the system itself that dehumanises our leaders, rather than their…
VERBATIM THEATRE On a brilliant and sunny July morning last year, I sat opposite Eliot Weinberger in a downtown café in Manhattan. A small, balding man, perhaps in his mid 50s, he spoke in that New York accent that reminds the outsider irresistibly…
NEW WORK Literally translated as Songs on the Death of Children, the title of French performance artist Gisèle Vienne’s latest piece has a long artistic history. It first appeared as a collection of 425 poems by German poet Freidrich Rückert in 1834…
CHILDREN’S THEATRE For over a decade now, Grid Iron has produced some of the highest quality site specific theatre in Scotland. Yet, their new piece, an adaptation of Pauline Mol and Moniek Merkx’s Dutch play, represents the exploration of new…
