13 Sep 2010
From bespoke garments, year-round culinary delights and truly fine artworks by groundbreaking women artists, an array of auction items is on offer that are designed to tempt and delight, whatever your pleasure.
Between a private film screening at the CCA Cinema, private pilates lessons with Rhona McMillian,or two tickets to the Marriage of Figaro, as well as an exclusive backstage tour of Glasgow’s Theatre Royal, there are plenty of items on offer!
The lucky guests will be able to bid on a private reading for their chosen attendees, on the Virginia Woolf text of their choice, hosted by visual artists Faith Wilding (USA) and Kate Davis (NZ/UK), who will share their passion for Woolf. The artists will also provide Woolf related refreshments and a private screening of Kate Davis’ short film ‘What have we got to do with a room of one’s own?’ On top of this the lucky recipient will receive a much sought after pass for the 21st Annual Conference on Virginia Woolf entitled ???Contradictory Woolf???, June 9th to 12th 2011. A veritable Woolfian delight!
But that’s not all! There are also a whole selection of artworks by female artists, like Sam Ainsley‘s ???I want the love that???s the due of my heart??? (for Mayakovsky), and ???Interior Landscape.??? These works were created in 2008 and were shown at the ???Atlas of Encounters??? exhibition in Chicago last February.
Another lucky bidder will go home with Lucy Skaer’s Banknote print. Skaer was one of six artists chosen to represent Scotland in the 2007 Venice Biennale, and was nominated for the Turner Prize 2009 for the sculptures Black Alphabet and Leviathan Edge,in which the donated Banknote featured.
This is an evening not to be missed!
