Scholar and activist, Alastair McIntosh writes about 'Kandinsky in Govan' - art spirituality and the Future', a conference that took place over the weekend of October 22nd and 23rd in Glasgow which sought to explore the relevance of Kandinsky's beliefs in the power of art to what is happening in the world today. '...people need art' , Alistair writes, 'not pretentious elite art that is up its own backside – but art that recovers meaning, that calls back the soul'.
