KANDINSKY IN GOVAN: ART, SPIRITUALITY AND THE FUTURE

In October 1911 the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky completed in German the manuscript of a little book that he called "Über das Geistige in der Kunst" – usually translated as Concerning the Spiritual in Art. This webpage (link below) sets the context of a small but international centenary celebration conference, Kandinsky in Govan. It will be hosted by community groups in an area of Glasgow that suffers from high unemployment and many social problems, but which retains a powerful community spirit and much artistic talent. Like Kandinsky's book the conference seeks not to promote "art for art's sake", but like the Russian Peredvizhniki school of "wanderers" or "itinerants", to explore "art as service". With keynote speakers including leading art experts and the Chief Medical Officer for Scotland, we will be exploring how art can speak in places of poverty today. The conference will challenge the narcissistic nihilism of contemporary art forms that have turned their backs on beauty and, perhaps arguably, lost sight of art's deepest function.

Lest you think that I have gone a bit hymn crazy, I took the executive decision to include all thee hymns submitted. Some will replace Anthems, Offertory music etc. It seemed kindest to include rather than exclude...

Sunday 28th August

We are looking forward to the service on Sunday August 28th and 11 am in Lansdowne Parish Church. Welcome in advance to our friends, brothers, sister and colleagues from the churches of the Parish Grouping.


There will be provision for children and young people. Hymns will be chosen from a list compiled from favourites in each church and we plan to involve musical support from across the grouping. Don't be backward in coming forward!


So far we have 'Come Down O Love Divine' chosen by Hyndland.
And from Kelvinside Hillhead a choice of any of the three hymns which are set to Lux tremenda:  120 "God, we praise you", 353 "Bright the cloud and bright the glory" or 617, "Great and deep the Spirit's purpose" .... plus 204, "I am the church"
