About

GUSH is a residency programme located in Glasgow, Scotland. This programme takes fandom, and the figure of the fan, as a starting point for work and research.

Working closely with artists, writers, curators and makers, this residency encourages participants to examine how fandom influences their practice. Working with GUSH for one-month periods, participants on the programme will create works embracing citations, references, fan love for and obsession with muses in their life.

Participants are supported through their residencies. GUSH’s curator will facilitate connections with the local cultural scene, organising studio visits and public presentations of the resident’s work.

GUSH’s public programmes are a curated series of talks and workshops that are developed closely with the residency programme. Each residency's subjects will shift and change, but will always be guided by fan love.
