Episode 3, ‘Evolutionary not Revolutionary’ is the first of a two part podcast which looks at the Mixed Media course at Glasgow School of Art which ran from 1977-1981. This first part focuses on the formation of the department, which was set up and run by Roger Hoare. Mixed Media was set up as an area students could go to experiment with different media and to help create fluidity between Fine Art disciplines. The voices here provide some context to school’s environment in the 1970s, it is a combination of people who’d studied and taught on the course and impressions from students and staff in other departments.
