THIS free exhibition at London’s Alison Jacques Gallery is a much-needed and timely reminder of the quality and urgent relevance of the work of Edinburgh-born Carol Rhodes, who studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the turbulent late-1970s.
It dovetails with the heightened awareness of, and campaigning about, the environmental threats posed by overexploitation of natural resources.
Rhodes did not reside, as many would, in an ivory tower. She found her place in social activism, radical feminism, campaigns for disarmament, gay rights and social justice campaigns.
She was a regular at Reclaim the Night demonstrations, the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, protests against nuclear-armed submarines at the naval base on the Clyde and she co-founded the Glasgow Free University with the writers Alasdair Gray and James Kelman.

‘Collecting Art is Like Writing a Biography, Finding a Way to Tell the Story of Our Lives’
León Amitai speaks about his collecting journey and interest in textile art and geometric abstraction
Kristina McLean: I’m very excited to talk to you today. This is a new format that we’re experimenting with at Frieze to create content for our collecting community because, as you know, people love reading about other collectors and what they’re looking at. So, I’m really thrilled that you’ve agreed to participate. Firstly, you work with textiles in your business life, and you also collect art involving fabrics and textiles. Did you focus on textile from the beginning of your collecting journey? Where did it begin?
