Phil Collins: The World Won’t Listen

No, I have not lost my mind. I am not referring to the man who brought us Genesis (why oh why?!), who has sold upwards of 100 million records and reminds me of a certain scary drumming gorilla but in fact the artist Phil Collins. His first solo exhibition in Scotland is currently at The Tramway in Glasgow. The World Won't Listen was filmed in Colombia, Turkey and Indonesia and features fans of The Smiths preforming karaoke versions of tracks from the 1987 album of the same name. It is altogether beautiful, bizzare, funny, beguiling and sincere and I highly recommend seeing this exhibition while you can. I won't go into to any more detail as the whole experience should be enjoyed without knowing exactly what you are going to see but just remember to look out for the striptease! Admission is free and the exhibition runs until Sunday 31st May. P.S. Please don't waste your time going next door to the Bruce Nauman exhibition as it is simply dull.
