Artist Talk: Jessica Ramm in conversation with Helen de Main

Join us for this event, where artists Jessica Ramm and Helen de Main will be in conversation about Jessica's current exhibition, Hard Edges Soft Layers. Jessica will also share insights from an essay she wrote in 2023, commissioned as a response to Helen's work in GoMA's exhibition Repeat Patterns. The essay explores the less visible aspects of de Main's practice and their connection to Jessica's own work. Katie Bruce, curator of both exhibitions, will chair the event and guide a discussion of the themes that link both artists' practices.

The event is part of GoMA's ongoing programme of feminist responses to the exhibition Domestic Bliss (2019–) and at the Gallery of Modern Art.

Jessica Ramm is an artist and writer based in Glasgow. Her work in sculpture, print and performance explores themes of vulnerability, communication and connection. She often works collaboratively, and the relationships she builds inform how her processes unfold.

Helen de Main is a visual artist and printmaker whose practice investigates contemporary and historical depictions of women’s lives. She often works with groups in the community, using discursive models to explore personal experience and reflect on social and political conditions.

This event is also part of the GoMA Artists Talks programme
