THE CCA Glasgow has announced its gallery programme for 2019.

Recently re-opened after being closed following the devastating fire at the nearby Glasgow School of Art, the programme will feature shows by Katherine MacBride, Shadi Habib Allah, Emilia Beatriz, Grace Schwindt, Basma Alsharif, a sixteen-week summer programme "exploring contemporary performance and performativity", and the launch of a new Seed Library for Scotland.

Ainslie Roddick, the CCA Curator, said: "After a strange and difficult 2018, we’re really looking forward to bringing a new series of programmes to fruition.

"The main focus for us this year is to test out different methods of thinking and hosting differently with our gallery spaces, with many of our projects exploring how the institution or gallery space performs, inherits or behaves - working across many kinds of cultural practices.

"We’re changing the rhythm of how we work a little in response to the conditions we find ourselves in, and working with really exceptional, generous artists who are bringing really special, rigorous projects to the city"

The year will also see the launch of an "autonomous seed and herbal library" based at CCA.
