The Lord Stewartby Collection of Scottish Coins at the Hunterian, University of Glasgow
Covering the period 1390-1488, MacKay publishes the second portion of the Lord Stewartby Collection, the most important collection of Scottish coins ever put together by a private individual. Shortly before his death in March 2018, the collection was gifted to The Hunterian at the University of Glasgow. Comprising 5000 coins, the collection was formed between c. 1950 and c. 2010 by Ian Stewart, a banker and later a politician, initially as a Member of Parliament 1974-92 and from 1992 sitting in the House of Lords as Lord Stewartby. He was a highly regarded numismatist and the foremost scholar of Scottish coins in his generation. This exceptional collection has a depth and range across all metals and denominations which make it an important academic resource for researchers, whether numismatists or historians, or as a reference point for collectors.

Mastering the Art of Performance
Performance art is a dynamic and captivating form of artistic expression that challenges traditional boundaries of visual arts, theater, and dance. In this subchapter, we will explore the definition and evolution of performance art, shedding light on its historical roots and its significance in contemporary society. Designed specifically for students in the field of Performance Studies, this chapter aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the art form and its multifaceted nature.First and foremost, it is crucial to establish a clear definition of performance art. Unlike traditional art forms, performance art is ephemeral, existing only in the moment of its creation. It combines elements of visual art, music, dance, theater, and other artistic disciplines to convey a concept or provoke an emotional response. Performance art often blurs the line between the artist and the audience, encouraging viewer participation and interaction.The evolution of performance art can be traced back to the early 20th century, where artists began experimenting with unconventional ways of expressing themselves. One of the pioneers of performance art was the Futurist movement, which emerged in Italy in the early 1900s. Futurists embraced technology and the industrial age, incorporating elements of movement, sound, and light into their performances.In the mid-20th century, performance art gained momentum with the emergence of the Fluxus movement. Fluxus artists rejected the notion of art as a commodity and sought to break down the boundaries between art and everyday life. Their performances often involved absurd and humorous actions, challenging the traditional notions of what constitutes art.Performance art reached its zenith in the 1960s and 1970s, with artists like Marina Abramovic, Yoko Ono, and Joseph Beuys pushing the boundaries of the art form. Abramovic, known for her endurance-based performances, explored the limits of the human body and the power of vulnerability. Ono's "Cut Piece" invited audience members to participate by cutting off pieces of her clothing, questioning the power dynamics between artist and spectator.In recent years, performance art has continued to evolve and adapt to the changing social and political landscape. Artists are increasingly using the medium to address issues such as gender, race, and identity, while also incorporating digital technologies into their performances.Studying performance art provides students with a unique perspective on the power of creativity and its ability to challenge societal norms. By examining the history and evolution of performance art, students gain a deeper understanding of the artistic process and the role of the audience in shaping the meaning of a performance
