Visit The Briggait on Wed 12 November (5pm–7pm) Visit The Briggait on Wed 12 November (5pm–7pm) for the new solo exhibition by visual artist Sooun Kim, who is the recipient of the 2024 RSA x Wasps Award. He is currently represented by Patricia Fleming Gallery.

'Mimae: the edge of sleep' explores an actuality of abstraction across layered realities, exposing aftershocks of sensation and dissonant emotion through metaphorical and physical planes.

“Mimae” is a Korean term created by the artist, implying the residual sensation between sleep and wakefulness, the lingering of emotion, and the overlapping of alternate layers of reality. These sensations are presented as a response to invisible dissonances such as the failure of emotional attunement, linguistic delay, and temporal gaps of the body that the artist experiences as a Korean immigrant. The “edge” is where the strata of these sensations unfold, and is not a boundary but an aftershock, transcending through metaphorical and physical planes. It is another secondary modality of reality, and ontologically, it is reality.

Sooun Kim's work was selected by Wasps' Arts Programme Manager as the award's recipient for its grand scale and intricate detail. The work that formed part of the RSA exhibition was a stand out, and will be well received in our Briggait gallery spaces.

The show will be open Monday–Friday (9am–5pm) until 3 December.

Images of works:
1. 'Fray Perch', resin and taxidermied crow (2025)
2. 'Ante Meridiem', oil and charcoal on canvas (2024)

Visit Patriothall Gallery next month (8–16 Nov, Visit Patriothall Gallery next month (8–16 Nov, 11am–4pm daily) for Gerry McGowan's showcase of work spanning decades, created in his Patriothall studio since he joined the building's artist community in 1991.

From the artist: 'A retrospective? Yes! A studio sale? Yes! Lots of framed/unframed work? Yes! A bit chaotic? Probably! Retirement? Probably not!

An exhibition of mostly, but not exclusively, figurative paintings covering a very long period. Paintings of people and their various activities. I paint ordinary people doing ordinary things. Other visual diversions.'

Gerry McGowan is a painter based at Patriothall in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. He was most recently selected as a finalist for the Scottish Landscape Awards 2025.

🏺 SSA x Wasps Award Winner: Catherine Lily Mear 🏺 SSA x Wasps Award Winner: Catherine Lily Mearns 🏺 

We're looking forward to welcoming Gray's School of Art graduate Catherine Lily Mearns to South Block, and seeing their work exhibited in our galleries later this year.

Catherine is the most recent recipient of the SSA x Wasps Award, and was chosen by Wasps' Project Coordinator, Caitlin Callaghan. Of her selection, Caitlin said: 'Catherine's work was really a standout piece in the exhibition. The textures in their ceramics were entirely fascinating. The SSA Wasps Award is a solo exhibition for the artist in Glasgow, in this case our South Block Gallery. With this in mind, Catherine's work was a perfect fit. South Block really lends itself to artists who work across different media and I am so excited to see what they do with the space.'

Catherine is the third recipient of the SSA x Wasps Award, which gives a supported exhibition opportunity at a Wasps gallery to an artist featured in the prestigious SSA Annual Exhibition.
