LISTEN, WATCH, READ

Here are a selection of artists and artistic themes that the Art in Hospital team find inspiring, or are firm favourites in the art sessions. 

 Artists, musicians, psychiatrists, medics and philosophers  have meditated on the subject of colour over the centuries. 

Here is a collection of paintings, songs, writing, film and art that celebrates and explores our relationship to colour.  You'll find works by the Scottish Colourists, the Fauvists, Derek Jarman, Helen Frankenthaler and Frank Bowling and much more.

Many galleries and museums remain closed until the Covid-19 situation is safer, and as a result of this there's an abundance of material that's been made available to experience online. This section presents a selection of artworks and collections as well as videos and information about the history of some galleries and museums themselves.

This is a collection of videos and articles about artists who are inspired by sound, or use sound and music as a vital part of their artworks.

This is a collection of film, video, sounds and images that explore Glasgow past and present. You'll find heritage archival material along with influential and inspiring works of art and poetry from Glasgow's rich artistic and cultural communities.

This collection presents some artists who have been inspired by the intertwining of work and our everyday lives; our horizons, our emotional life, the accessibility of leisure time, and our agency as political members of society. It also presents some documentation of the world of work specifically related to the industrial past in and around Glasgow.

In this section you will find a mix of artists' moving image, interviews, and articles exploring disability and accessibility in the arts. You'll also find links to resources and organisations working to improve access to arts participation.

Transport yourself to the Scottish Islands with this collection of artists and historical audio, film and video looking at the life, culture and beauty of Island Life.

This is a collection of film, sounds, and artworks that relate to ideas of 'inside' - the home, our personal worlds, and 'outside' - the great outdoors and beyond.

Created with the desire to bring the experiences of outdoors to those who might be currently unable to access it.

This section presents a variety of artworks, exhibitions and practices that show the  ways artists (and writers) have responded to the idea of nature over time. Some of this work depicts natural environments - both real and imaginary - some reflects on the natural world in an appreciative, escapist or meditative way, and some is related to our differing relationships with ecologies and natural histories around the globe. 

Here you will find some links to music and poetry - a mixture of relaxing and inspiring pieces - suggested by the Art in Hospital artists.

In this section you will find artists and artwork influenced by the ancient practice of map making.  Also included are beautifully illustrated historical maps found in museum and gallery archives.
