BACKSP!N
A charitable art exhibition which uses the power of ping-pong to raise funds for the Drumchapel Table Tennis Club (DTTC). The project showcased over 60 table tennis paddles designed by artists, designers and illustrators from across the UK, as well as one dedicated table design for the show.
All proceeds go to the DTTC.
The exhibition ran as a silent auction in wasps studios South Block building and included original pieces from the likes of celebrated comic book artist Frank Quitely; sculptor and Turner Prize winner Martin Boyce; signwriter and lettering artist Rachel E Millar; renowned Scottish landscape painter Robert Kelsey; visual artist Raissa Pardini; artist Pam Carter and many more.
SMASHING NEWS
In a period when there has been lots of uncertainty in the creative arts, being able to put on a show with so many talented artists, from graduates to established names, brought new audiences and interest to the club. So much so, it was featured by STV news as a key community art project.
Watch out for the stunt double at the end...
