Now in its fifth year, the Annual Steven Campbell Trust lecture comes to Glasgow for the first time. Introduced by journalist and broadcaster Edi Stark, the lecture will be given by Campbell’s friend and collaborator, artist Ron O’Donnell.

O’Donnell is one of Scotland’s finest contemporary narrative photographers; he and Campbell collaborated on the 2002 Portrait Gallery exhibition celebrating poet Edwin Morgan’s 80th birthday. Reflecting on O’Donnell’s own practice, the lecture will develop the connections Campbell made in his work to other art forms, artists and writers, looking in detail at his use of collage.

This year’s lecture will be preceded at 6pm by a screening of two short films about Campbell in CCA’s Cinema. Both events are free and supported by the Steven Campbell Trust and CCA.

Annual Trust Lecture

We are delighted that Peter Hill, artist and author of Stargazing will be giving the fourth annual Steven Campbell Trust Lecture at Summerhall, Edinburgh.

Dr Peter Hill is a Glasgow-born artist, writer, and independent curator. He is a dual citizen of Scotland and Australia.

From the age of seven he attended painting and sculpture Saturday morning classes at Glasgow School of Art.

This, combined with a love of writing and literature, encouraged him to try and bring all these elements together in what he calls “Superfictions”. The first of these was a fictitious museum in New York called The Museum of Contemporary Ideas (1989 – ongoing).

Peter Hill regularly gives workshops on Superfictions to a variety of groups.

Tickets are available from our Eventbrite page.
