This Week in Scottish Art: 23-29 February

Tuesday: GENERATOR – Paying Artists Event

GENERATOR host an event on the Paying Artists campaign. It's a straightforward movement that's looking to make sure that artists receive fair remuneration for shows and other work in publicly-funded galleries. Visit the campaign's website for more information and to sign up. Tonight's presentation and discussion takes place from 7pm, and free tickets are still available from Eventbrite.

Wednesday: Screening at Cooper Gallery, Dundee  

Wednesday sees the screening event for All Systems Go, the current exhibition in the Cooper Gallery. One of the exhibiting artists – Miranda Pennell – will discuss her practice and work with the Director of Lux Scotland, Isla Leaver-Yap. In particular they'll discuss moving image's relationship to performance and the still image. The talk begins at 6.30pm; free tickets can be booked here.

Thursday: New exhibition at Six Foot Gallery

On Thursday, Six Foot Gallery will present their new exhibition entitled Lavarone, by Italian artist and theatre director Silvia Righetti. Interested in exploring the self within her work, Righetti's new pieces look to the Lavarone mountains of Italy, a favourite holiday resort of Freud and "a place of death, of war, of pschoanalysis, of dreams and writing." The preview runs from 6-8pm on Thursday.

Friday: Telfer Gallery & Hannah Maclure Centre previews

This Friday in Telfer Gallery, there is the preview for new exhibition Back or Again, by Abigail Neate Wilson. Neate Wilson presents the culmination of her year-long residence at the gallery, during which time she's been tracking journeys through the city and considering the different means of leaving marks on the urban environment. This will also be the first exhibition by Telfer in their new Ross Street location in the Barras Market.

Also this Friday, from 6-8pm in the Hannah Maclure Centre in Dundee, there is the preview of work made as part of The Mother Load. For this project, an international network of women was generated by simply passing on a single name between individual participants, who are both artists and mothers. 

Saturday: Edinburgh Sculpture Studios, Rhubaba Gallery

This Saturday, the third of Embassy Gallery's What We Heard workshops takes place in the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop. Led by a poet and researcher, Holly Pester, the theme is fanfiction. From these kinds of "fabulations and fantasies integral to fanfic", a different mode of archive interaction will be experimented with. Book a free place here.

Later in the day, in Rhubaba Gallery there is a performance of Tombland Drift by Norwich-based photographer, Glen Jamieson. Taking its title from the Scandanavian word for 'empty space', the project started 'as a photographic archive-in motion'. Jamieson considers the possibility of representing the city in photographs, and will take the form of a live slideshow presentation.

Monday: Glasgow Artist Guild Talk return to CCA, Pádraig Timoney exhibition

For the latest edition of the Glasgow Artist Guild, Glasgow-based Madeleine Virginia Brown talks about her performance-based work and its exploration of the human body. She is joined by Edinburgh-based artist Nikkita Morgan. With her background in textiles, Morgan makes works that consider political issues specifically relating to the conflict in Northern Ireland. This is a free event, no need to book, and begins promptly at 7pm in the CCA's Saramago bar.

Rounding off the week, there's a Monday night opening at The Modern Institute. Born in Derry, and now living and working in New York, Pádraig Timoney has made a virtue of not being confined to a specific style or discipline. Looking more to raising questions rather than attempting to settle debates, there's a deliberate slipperiness of aesthetic and intent. Previewing on Monday from 7-9pm, the exhibition then continues until 26 March.
