The Milky Way event: Jessica Ramm and Helen de Main in conversation

Sunday 30 November, 11am–12.30pm
Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), Glasgow
Free tickets here

Join us for this special event where artists Jessica Ramm and Helen de Main will discuss Jessica’s current exhibition, 'Hard Edges Soft Layers', commissioned as part of 'The Milky Way' at GoMA, as part of the Feeding Chair tour.

Jessica will also share insights from an essay she wrote in 2023, commissioned in response to Helen’s work in GoMA’s exhibition 'Repeat Patterns'. The essay explores the less visible aspects of de Main’s practice and its connections to Jessica’s own work. Katie Bruce, curator of both exhibitions, will chair the discussion and guide an exploration of the themes linking both artists’ practices.

This event is part of GoMA’s ongoing programme of feminist responses to the exhibition 'Domestic Bliss' (2019–) and 'The Milky Way', a programme of artworks and events about motherhood and milk..

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.
