<div class="gmail_quote"><br><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< BEGIN PRESS RELEASE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br><br>The sculptural installation '<i>Seeking Tranquillity'</i>, by Glasgow School of Art Masters student Benjamin Rush, will be part of this year's MFA Thesis Exhibition to open Wednesday 17 June, from 7 to 9 PM at Tramway, Glasgow. The work investigates the memory and significance of the exhibition of the US Apollo 10 capsule as it appeared in the Tramway Museum (then the Glasgow Museum of Transportation) in August 1971. The brief five day exhibition celebrated the success of the Apollo programme as the first manned mission to the moon. <i>'Seeking Tranquillity'</i> includes among other artifacts, a life-size 3-dimensional drawing of the Apollo capsule. The artist is especially keen to meet any of the 56,000 people who visited the 1971 blockbuster event and encourages them to come to this current exhibition where they will have the opportunity to record and share their experiences.<br>
20 July marks the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing.<br><br>The MFA exhibition runs from 18 Thursday through Sunday 22 June.
