Description:
The Wyllieum - a gallery celebrating the work and legacy of the artist George Wyllie<br/><br/>The Wyllieum is a new art gallery in the heart of Greenock. <br/><br/>George Wyllie (1921 – 2012)burst onto the art scene in the early 1980s, after a career working on the Clyde. Friendships with leading artists Jospeh Beuys and George Rickey and support from art world luminaries Barbara Grigor and Richard Demarco helped to establish Wyllie as an artist with something to say. <br/><br/>Born in Glasgow, Wyllie spent most of his working life in Gourock.

He was a Customs and Excise Officer in Greenock for thirty years before becoming a full-time artist in his late fifties.

Ariel 1 launched on an American Thor-Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It was also built at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Britain's Science and Engineering Research Council provided all of the experiments. Five of the six experiments on board studied the relationship between solar radiation and Earth's ionosphere, and one was dedicated to studying cosmic rays. Just 10 weeks after Ariel 1 launched, it was damaged by an explosion during a high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the U.S. military. Its solar panels broke, and it was unable to transmit any more useful data after that.")
