If you’re visiting Glasgow this February, step inside Glasgow Print Studio and spend time with Seats of Learning, a quietly powerful exhibition by Jennie Bates.

At the centre of the show is something we’ve all seen, the stackable, moulded plastic chair. The kind that fills school halls, lecture theatres, exam rooms. Cheap. Practical. Wipe-clean. Institutional.

Bates takes this everyday object and transforms it through intuitive mono-print techniques into screen prints that feel like diagrams but refuse to explain themselves. They hint at structure, but resist being didactic. The works map stages of her own educational journey while questioning the idea of linear “progress”.

Discover Brutal Scotland, the new exhibition by architectural photographer Simon Phipps, opening 21st February at Street Level Photoworks in Glasgow. Showcasing powerful black-and-white photography from his book, the exhibition explores Scotland’s post-war modernist and brutalist architecture, celebrating the bold concrete structures that shaped the nation’s urban identity. This is a must-see photography exhibition for anyone interested in Scotland’s creative culture, architectural heritage, and contemporary visual storytelling. GRMMR for one, will be there!

Glasgow is a city known for its vibrant art scene, and its graffiti culture is no exception.
