Workings, for Glasgow International 2016, was staged as a residency/exhibition. The artists, Beth Shapeero, Philip Gurrey and Samantha Madonna, made work on site and encouraged visitors to help with the making of the work.
For Local Press we designed prints to give away to local visitors which linked aesthetically to our sculptural or installation works. See the prints in visitors homes here: aprintgiveawayproject.tumblr.com
Block took place in Spring/Summer 2017, beginning at a tenement block in Govanhill and leading to Tramway. The project engaged with local people and organisations to meet, share food and ideas and create a series of limited edition screen prints exhibited in local organisations forming a walking tour from the block to Tramway.
Bedroom was commissioned by ART PARK at House for an Art Lover as a month long residency/project.
Over the month, while the bedroom/show room emerged, visitors dreams were recorded as audio and drawings which played through the lamp like hanging speakers and the bed, and adorned the walls. The month culminated in a ‘work-in-progress’ exhibition where dreams by visitors and the drawings and paintings by the artist were exhibited as part of an interactive installation.
