  The third podcast in this series explores Duncan Campbell’s latest exhibition: Make It New John, currently showing in Tramway’s main visual arts space, T2. A documentary film-based work following the rise and fall of legendary car designer and engineer John DeLorean, famous for, among other things, the DMC12 ‘Back to the Future’ car.

  The podcast features interviews with Duncan Campbell himself, as he discusses why he chose DeLorean as the subject of this work, what inspires him about working with film, and his development into the realm of feature film.

  Lorraine Wilson, Tramway’s visual arts programmer discusses why this work is important in Tramway here and now, and why it is.
  The public also voice their reactions to the work, along with some of Duncan Campbell’s art-peers from the Glasgow visual arts scene who turned out in force at the preview night to celebrate Campbell’s first solo show in Scotland.

  The 4th Podcast in the visual arts series explores Polish artist, Paulina Olowska’s ‘Accidental Collages’ exhibition currently showing in Tramway 5.
  The exhibition features 17 collages drawing together images from neon art in communist era Warsaw, and the theoretical charts of art pioneer Kasmir Malevich.

  This podcast features interviews with Tramway’s visual arts programmer, Lorraine Wilson, about Paulina’s artistic practise, her influences, and the importance of the artwork’s evolution as it journeys between galleries in Poland, Germany and now Scotland.

  Visitors to the venue give their impressions of the exhibition, and talk about their reasons for visiting the venue.

  The performance programmer, Claire Jackson also discusses what audiences can expect in the theatres over the next few months, and why Tramway is programming more cross-artform work.

  These podcasts are all about opening up conversations about Tramway and the work that is shown here. If you’ve got a comment, or a question about what you’ve heard, visit our Facebook or Twitter accounts to get involved in the conversation.
