Kelvingrove art exhibition to document Transport Museum build
April 12 2011
Drawing (on) Riverside will showcase around 100 works of drawing, painting and sculpture documenting the different phases of construction.
Cain said: “Watching the Clyde landscape changing has had a major influence on my art practice for the last 10 years and as part of this, I’ve been observing and recording the construction of the new Riverside Museum.
“I’ve made this process the focus for this exhibition by trying to expose aspects of this through both solo work, and collaborations with Ann Nisbet, Alec Galloway, Rosalind Lawless and Phil Lavery that mirror the working on-site collaborations that occurred.”
Running from April 15 – August 14 the free exhibition is intended to provide an insight behind the construction process. The Transport Museum itself will open its doors to the public on June 21.

From the above article it appears the exhibition is at the Kelvingrove museum not the Riverside Museum. Sounds like a very interesting Exhibition.

The exhibition is at Kelvingrove and features astonishing paintings of the development of the Riverside Museum. It will be absolutely worth going to see and you can take someone elderly Derek too.
