Art lovers now have the chance to see Yoko Ono's work at SWG3.
The Dream piece installed at the venue is part of The Billboard Project series, which coincides with the Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art taking place from June 7 to 23.
The artwork will remain at SWG3 until the end of the year, making it a unique opportunity for the city's art lovers to see the legendary artist's work on a grand scale.
The Billboard Project is curated by artist Jim Lambie and SWG3.
It utilises a 12-metre-wide billboard installed on the Galvanizers' corrugated steel gable end during The New York Times Climate Hub in November 2021.
This now acts as a blank canvas to showcase contemporary art.
The initiative has created a treasure trail of creative installations and artworks around the SWG3 complex, with previous contributors including David Keenan with his piece Magic Is Real.
SWG3 will also host a special event SWG3 X Glasgow International Party on Friday, June 7, from 9pm to 3am where guests will enjoy live music and a special preview of the programme.
The evening will kick off with drinks on the Warehouse Terrace, celebrating the opening of the exhibition Martin Beck: Last Night which will run until June 23.
Artist Martin Beck's 13-hour video will feature, documenting all the records played by musical host David Mancuso 40 years ago at one of the last parties at the 99 Prince Street location of seminal New York dance party known as The Loft.
Tickets for the SWG3 X Glasgow International Party are available for £15 plus a booking fee.
This is not Yoko's only contribution to Glasgow's art scene.
We previously reported that Glasgow Women’s Library will host Peace Arbour, which features Yoko's work, as part of the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art 2024 from June 1.
As a highlight, a temporary orchard will open next month in the Bridgeton area of the city which includes Yoko's popular Wish Tree.
The tree encourages people to express their wishes, hopes, and needs, and attach them to a branch.
These wishes will then be sent to Yoko and continue in connection with her Imagine Peace Tower art installation in Iceland dedicated to her late husband John Lennon.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
