Self-proclaimed 'jack of all trades, master of none', Ian Smith was actually a master at exploiting and juxtaposing different art forms. A maestro of the quick idea, he made new and accessible work while supporting and encouraging artists of all kinds. Festival of Ian Smith will give a flavour of this work: from his early days in Brighton, through his 'pulptures' ("like paintings or sculptures but not as good"), to stints as ringmaster with Circus Archaos, TV persona Monty Cantsin, and his twenty two years as Director of Glasgow's Mischief La-Bas.
