The Human Arc

The Open Eye Club

Formed in 2005 by Glasgow based artists *Karen Cunningham & Leonora Hennessy The Open Eye Club is a series of one-off video/art events which promote, showcase and commission video and related artworks.

Following the success of ‘bazaar’ in 2006, The Open Eye Club have been invited back to Tramway to curate another event. The Human Arc will be the 8th event by The Open Eye Club for which they are commissioning 7 artists to make new work specifically for the event. Glasgow based artists, Sara Barker, Scott Myles and Calum Stirling will be making new artworks that will be physically installed in the space and 4 artists from outside of Scotland; Maze de Boer (Amsterdam), Geoffrey Farmer (Vancouver) Martin Healy (Dublin) and Pil and Galia Kollectiv (London) are being commissioned to make video works to be screened in relation to the installed works.

An essay by Neil Mulholland has been commissioned to accompany the event and will be available on the night.

The commissioning of these works has been made possible by funding from the Scottish Arts Council.
