The Common Guild is located in a former school building on the south bank of the River Clyde in Glasgow. The building houses The Common Guild's offices, a library with over 1,000 contemporary art books and public event and exhibition spaces. Exhibitions hosted by The Common Guild have included solo shows by Martin Creed,[1] Steven Claydon,[2] Roni Horn,[3] Tacita Dean,[4] Wolfgang Tillmans[5] and Roman Ondák;[6][7] and numerous group shows.[8][7]
Beyond their own gallery space, The Common Guild organise and curate exhibitions and art events such as 'the Persistence of Objects' at Lismore Castle Arts in 2015[9] and 'Scotland + Venice 2013' at the 55th Venice Biennale.[10]
Between 2008 and 2013, The Common Guild worked with Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow (GoMA) and Art Fund to build a new collection of international contemporary work for Glasgow including works by Emily Jacir, Matthew Buckingham and Lothar Baumgarten among others, many of which are regularly on display at GoMA.[11]
Previous premises at 21 Woodlands Terrace provided a key location for the filming of Glasgow: The Grit and the Glamour, a film in the BBC's Imagine series.[12]
