The recent future of Scottish Art
Robin Baillie and Neil Mulholland

An energetic discussion recorded over two sessions, Baillie/ Mulholland get to the crux of the issues raised by Craig Richardson's recently published book 'Scottish Art since 1960: Historical Reflections and Contemporary Overviews', which describes its intention as:
"Providing an analysis and including discussion (interviewing artists, curators and critics and accessing non-catalogued personal archives) towards a new chronology, Richardson here examines and proposes a sequence of precisely denoted 'exemplary' works which outlines a self-conscious definition of the interrogative term 'Scottish art'."

The Economy of Abolition/Abolition of the Economy
Neil Gray in exchange with Marina Vishmidt

Through the prism of the 'communisation thesis', Gray/ Vishmidt reflect upon: human capital exploited as investment portfolio in 'The Big Society'; affirmation and negation as political potentialities; the fragmentation of the class relation based on waged work; financialisation and the collapse of social democracy; the politics of reproduction; and the imposition of, resistance to, and potential negation of debt. …Not just a change in the system, but a change of the system; not later on, but now.

"Language is never neutral"
Responses to Variant's interview with Andrew Dixon, CEO of Creative Scotland

"It is difficult to ignore the feeling that we are witnessing the formation of 'legitimate' subjects of art and culture and a re-imagining of what it means to use those very words."
Feeling a heightened imperative following the interview with Andrew Dixon in the spring issue and subsequent developments, Variant has sought to proactively and collectively consider the potential impact of these changes for artistic practice, and, more broadly, for the meaning of art and culture in contemporary Scotland. As a contribution towards such dialogue, Variant has invited a series of responses which here take the form of interview exchanges and written rejoinders.

Boredom in the Charnel House : Theses on 'Post-industrial' Ruins
John Cunningham

A critical analysis of the aestheticisation in photography of industrial and Fordist ruins using as a starting point Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre's 'The Ruins of Detroit'. Is it possible to deconstruct the phantasmagoria of industrial ruins through the images that constitute it? Is it enough to just play in the ruins without developing a politics capable of opposing the capitalism that produces them?

Art of Protest : On Testing Cultural Forms of Resistance
Katarzyna Kosmala in conversation with Oliver Ressler

An exchange exploring the role of politically engaged art in protest and human rights issues, reflecting on Ressler's recent films: Socialism Failed, Capitalism is Bankrupt. What Comes Next? and Comuna Under Construction:
"I think art can have a crucial function for an analysis of the current political and economic situation, in expressing criticism, connecting to existing social movements and in thinking about alternative ways about how to organise our societies."

Tales from a River Bank : Bullying, the Arts, and the Production of Museum Space
David Beel

Anne-Marie Quigg's book 'Bullying in the Arts: Vocation, Exploitation and Abuse of Power', reveals for Beel a very different perspective from the romanticised image of 'creative' work with regard to some of the problems faced by individuals negotiating labour practices in the arts, culture and heritage. The issues Quigg brings to the fore are a timely intervention for Beel - faced with institutional silence they may help elucidate a recent internal investigation into bullying and harassment within the curatorial processes of the recently completed Riverside Museum in Glasgow, raising wider questions about the nature of 'outsourced' municipal cultural governance.

Disposable Women, Not Natasha, and the Economics and Politics of Sex Trafficking
Roberta McGrath

A cogent review of the exhibition and online book 'Not Natasha', which began as a way for Dana Popa to tell the stories of young girls from Moldova sex trafficked across Europe. Popa was then commissioned by the London-based human rights and photography organisation Autograph to develop this work, which was subsequently exhibited in Dublin, augmenting public policy.
"Popa begins her story: At the end of the road as the daylight dims, women are brought and here, and just beyond the middle-class apartments, sex is bought; bodies are sold. Her point is clear. At the end of many streets - just around a corner, just beyond where we care to look - the same story is repeated. We choose, she says, not to look; not to see; and consequently not to think of who is there."

Anarchism & Sexuality
Tracey McLennan, Gordon Asher in exchange with Jamie Heckert

Heckert is a founding member of the Anarchist Studies Network and the editor of two collections of perspectives on anarchism and sexuality. Starting from the most recent collection of "passionate, provocative papers that incite the reader to recognise the relevance of anarchist ideas to queer and feminist sexual politics", McLennan/ Asher engage Heckert in dialogue concerning making these queerly anarchist contributions to social justice literature, policy and practice.

LAYING DOWN AND KISSING THE LOVE IN THE MIST
Part 1 - Ree Morton
15th December - 14th January 2012

Preview: Thursday 15th December 7-9 pm - Join us for drinks and mince pies
Gallery will be closed for the holidays between 24th Dec - 7th January 2012

K,

I want to make a presentation that draws on the American artist Ree Morton, whose work and writings about her work I have been invested in over the last several years. Fragments of her writings and her emotionally changing and critically honest relationship to her work have held something of me in them at times. She makes space within the work for her relationship to others and her relationship to places within language to unfold, but with a certain hard fought ease or lightness. At the same time the work does not explain itself away, you have to come to it. These are things I admire.

xL

Kendall Koppe is pleased to present Laying down and kissing the love in the mist , part 1 & 2 . The exhibition takes the performance work made by American artist Ree Morton in 1976 as its catalyst. Morton worked throughout the 1960s and 70s developing her own critical and artistic trajectory in relation to structuralist theory, surrealist literature and emotional experience. Armed with her own directness of attitude Ree Morton's work offers a distinctive framework to contemporary visual art practices today. Her insistence on the intuitive as part of a rigorous and theoretical approach makes her work relevant to current practices that explore spaces within the subjective, and their possible reflection on embedded behavior and habitual relations of knowledge and power.

The exhibition curated by artist Laura Aldridge seeks to develop a creative space where moments within the work of Morton and the participating artists may be expanded and held open as a possibility. Laying down and kissing the love in the mist will take place in two parts. The first presents the documentation of Morton's The Maid of the Mist performance at ArtPark , New York with an exhibition design by Laura Aldridge. Part 2, opening on the 20th of January will feature newly commissioned art works and performance by Neil Bickerton, Kathryn Elkin, Anna Mayer, Jess Flood-Paddock and Louise Shelley, anchored by an existing piece by Caroline Achaintre. This gradual reveal of the exhibition's distinct chapters will allow these works to sit alongside one another while encouraging a reading of the different relationships at work within each practice. The careful handling of these, often intuitive, relationships is key to the exhibition.
About the artists:

Laura Aldridge (b. 1978) lives and works in Glasgow. She graduated from the MFA programme at Glasgow School of Art in 2006. Recent solo exhibitions include Cairn, Pittenweem, Fife; Studio Voltaire, 2011; Cat's are not important, Transmission Gallery, Glasgow (2010); The workshop survived because we love each other, Glasgow Sculpture Studio, Glasgow (2007); and Social Dynamism, Calarts, Los Angeles (2005). She has a forthcoming solo exhibtion at the CCA, Glasgow in February 2012.

Caroline Achaintre (b.1969 Toulouse) lives and works in London. She graduated from the MFA programme at Goldsmiths College in 2003. Recent solo exhibitions include Couleur Locale, Arcade, London; Novelty, Mirko Mayer, Cologne and Visor Visitor, Fake Estate, New York. She has also participated in group exhibitions in LOG, Bergamo; Oechsner Galerie, Nuremberg; Waltraum, Munich; Timothy Taylor Gallery, London and The Saatchi Gallery, London.

Neil Bickerton lives and works in Glasgow

Kathryn Elkin (b.1983) lives and works in London. Her research is most commonly realized through live performance, video or writing as proposed performance. Recent exhibitions include 21st Century program at Chisenhale Gallery, (London, 2011), The Hole, (London, 2011), with Sue Thompkins and Oliver Rees and 'What we Make With Words' at CCA (Glasgow, 2011). Her work has been published by Sternberg Press, 2HB and gnommero.

Anna Mayer lives and works in Los Angeles, where she received her MFA from CalArts in 2007. Moving between collectivity and introspection, Mayer attempts to establish an "outcantatory" practice that uses language, fire, and intention to propose relationships encouraging embodiment and the rejection of discreet, linear modes of reception. In 2010 Mayer had a solo exhibition at Sea and Space Explorations in Los Angeles. Group exhibitions include Night Gallery (CA), Cerritos College Art Gallery (CA), A.I.R. Gallery (NY), Karen Lovegrove (CA), and Klaus Von Nichtssagend (NY). Mayer recently completed her WORD THE WORD series of guided listening sessions at the Experimental Meditation Center of Los Angeles. In addition to her solo practice, Anna works with Jemima Wyman as part of the collaborative duo CamLab. In the first part of 2012, CamLab will stage three events at MOCA in Los Angeles as part of its Engagement Party series.

Ree Morton (b.1936 - 1977) , an artist who is virtually unknown in Europe and has recently been rediscovered by a growing American audience, was of the generation of Eva Hesse and Paul Thek. Not unlike them, she challenged conceptual art and the orthodoxy of 1970s minimalism by fusing elements of historic art, aspects of ritual, and decor with the analytical rigor of a structural mapping of space. Her thinking drew on a great variety of literary, philosophical, and ethnological sources

Jess Flood-Paddock (b.1977, London) lives and works in London. Educated at The Slade and The Royal College of Art. Forthcoming projects include a solo show at Grimm Gallery Amsterdam and Britain Creates 2012 a collaboration with fashion designder Jonathan Saunders.Recent exhibitions include Gangsta's Paradise at the Hayward GalleryProject Space, London (2010, curated by Tom Morton), The Grid System A Regime: SpartacusChetwynd & Jess Flood-Paddock at MCA, Malta (2010), Sacrifice at Swallow Street, London (2010,curated by Sarah McCrory), Phyllida Barlow & Jess Flood-Paddock at the Russian Club, London (2009)and Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2006). She was commissioned to make a short film for Channel 4and Frieze Foundation Film Commissions 2010.

Louise Shelley (b.1982) lives and works in London. Co-editor of 2HB she also works at The Showroom coordinating the Communal Knowledge programme and as Education Curator at Studio Voltaire. She occasionally produces work in collaboration with other artists, these have included; Laura Aldridge, Giles Bailey, Kate Morrell and Kathryn Elkin

REMINDER: a new agency for the visual arts in Scotland?

The VAGA Scotland Development Group has been working, over the last nine months or so, to consider how best to support the visual arts sector in Scotland. Following a 'mail out' over the summer which resulted in positive support for an independent visual arts agency in Scotland, the Development Group is proposing to set up a new organisation. Come along to this networking event to hear about the objectives of the new agency, contribute to the plans and then join us for a drink afterwards: City Art Centre, Edinburgh; Tuesday 13th December 5.30-7.00pm BOOK NOW directly to: ben@vaga.co.uk<mailto:ben@vaga.co.uk>

Castles of Illusion

[cid:3E16D641-82F8-449D-ADE6-6AFA6C2123E7]


Castles of Illusion

Laurence Figgis
Brin Frost
Zoe Williams

Intermedia Gallery, The CCA:, 350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow G2 3JD

Private View: Friday 2 December 6-9pm
Saturday 3 December - Saturday 17 December 2011
12:00pm - 6:00pm: FREE


An exhibition of new work by Laurence Figgis, Brin Frost and Zoe Williams. The artists have in-common an interest in the creation of internalised worlds, drawing on aspects of the surreal, the uncanny, the precious and the abject, and mobilising a diverse range of mediums to explore these themes including ornamental sculpture, collage and film. The objects and two-dimensional works on show in this exhibition appear on first glance to be drawn from a rich concoction of soap-opera, luxury commodity and primal myth. However on closer inspection, these isolated signifiers, divorced from their original context, often reveal darker, more disturbing undertones.

Gi Festival 2012 Programme Launched

[http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs089/1103157500228/img/25.gif]<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoBxhMsifgQoDZ4_DJ8PEkcDusJB1siKK3abF7p9_GQg-yk1oPZtFYNMa-OnMrQWhhPSI7S5GXh3Ujj-AEpZ8eAswWCIDOuaYm4424UcY51uQV1CXZxMisvC>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2012 Festival Programme Announced
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of the UK's boldest visual arts events, the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art returns in April 2012, bringing together exhibitions by the best international and local artists, from Turner Prize winners to the most exciting, emerging talent. The Festival builds on the successes of previous years, showcasing work by more than 130 artists in over 50 of Glasgow's best permanent and temporary exhibition venues across the length and breadth of the city.

The 18-day Festival programme includes many newly-commissioned works, including several that draw on a range of other disciplines, including dance, film, music, performance and theatre.

Under the continued Directorship of Katrina Brown, this year GI focuses more on the real, the physical and the very tangible, rather than the digital or virtual, with an emphasis on the live experience. From strong sculptural presentations by Karla Black <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoD-2U9-x5cEXNKgIobHPuXWYJzusEyPwShfXmKpgZqWtqF7x0JcuDXjffuAkVdJA5GTuw6n8BMIP9POgMUoU01XecfqdEdm5Mlxmk_QPXeNGay0TRJCKR2PKhVv8PVw_oTUgA9CDTsqjS5UjY3FwsMInoDm-TClrUwcMSfAcf17ARa3JpiLEPQJ> and Nairy Baghramian<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoCYmuJLUyBqTzqC330KXAyvERPtONMdgOZ3PS1bf24oKxE1YqbdhzOstUWl5C645wMGCsh1iISc110Vrz5Vfl_bWLqJZgJBvgdTfH2SNVht6UVux2zm1TQJvc6Ey4QJH0N_sL5AAxcIWBe9pp4ViOb9YWcs2varKa5LTzKsDYhZ1lbX1YGSImf0fL8EgKE5V8nN_zBI6MudQm26tY5UyoRq>, who each deploy distinctive materials to potent effect, to two ambitious 'performed installations' by Graham Fagen & Graham Eatough<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoB-WAKKGB3Nb7u-Lng99rjZrFscCchQdF8QWW8W6VJTEfo63UhfD-2hgUMoI67XwMmL2BVPnVSnylBgYdage1-lITrB5BzUjg0oNkrvm2EIWBPRRqfzqBc8KV7hzx5oliZC3XpMfZGxtayb1xv4FLnag1LyHKkQ9xn47KqFNnJywPu5RgLbkmLo> and Kelly Nipper<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoAn-_QjBRNiHIS6lPdhHPtKE7qL7nyM9beBvqO-rM1ZJ_raXcSXw86GxR6ejemMuI5Q-F--eGw-b55RKF0VEWU79NbONjUkS5MdhjARLKYTDEi_gfUuFZGTC35IvdKJfam8LXLxY6Z6CZi0_pcQ96Ft2L2a5Q1tvBQznGmjtnjXLY2UHiJreEoMckpM7QjuUuaoVHDbXjAakQ==> at Tramway, and 'handleable' new works by artists Corin Sworn, Mary Redmond, Camilla Low and Chris Johanson<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoA_mDGGxhUevOm5ZB_1j_1gNu-T8eGFiLT5CW5pUI8-Q-smstFrvQr4d6Q4VMwUrDTmJBrLyy60mq5ZJN-r2jIVFe1K8hqu4dlUwrIll0c9yqtHnqXa9lMai1SXl2-QJc-kyqX2f8B4TdtIHn-s_0te_vlO72n9vY2fJpeflE3r0xltTY6uaWjH> for 'Dialogue of Hands', many of the exhibitions and projects offer direct and very immediate encounters.

Time spent in and with this work is real, not edited or accelerated. This sense of real time is reflected back at us through the very tangible sense of the time and labour involved in the remarkable works of Richard Wright<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoArK6LWQdfs3WmRg1UFCkaCIEAt2G4g5nIUrUcTPpXfzS397RIWZpRx9udzn0JhduLln2hBmxXk0vWvmrrgQV8XteGrcU-ccDURIklDhzpujrCKon7lsbXUUEHlQ1H97yYon15UGyiVf42YeP_hEbpzO_3EwsbRkZSBaWAaNEk5_BcqNZGMEhCoxxgdHniICbsFdHA2P5wcCg==>, shown in the grand surroundings of Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum. While the focus on our actual experience of an artwork is amplified in Transmission's exhibition 'Six Works of Art For your Interpretation', in which the participating artists remain anonymous.

There are dozens of exhibitions and events, as well as a distinct strand of public or outdoor works, with new commissions including a permanent work by Alex Frost<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=ekg4umdab&et=1108622170947&s=768&e=001A7qrr7UnIoD63afEMfYADzDLG3iHnhVJ0UjTpjC47-mZkB3NaR4kAkfEoRrhaf8eulQY5E5ujYDIX-bxpIe9rPKHz30Q_qmOnk5IBwaHEPPUMpJxzM4rFWCRTWlwj3zlUx7CyfLSTzhaGrW_CHmv4gcCoOCIIOe1lRcQHDOhEZ4cjqkuUQH40eK9j9_kVeJV5cij4D7hAOs=> for Platform, Easterhouse.

As ever, GI is only possible with the commitment of the many organisations and artists based in the city year-round with whom we collaborate to make this programme: we all hope you enjoy it and look forward to seeing you in April 2012.

The Festival is made possible as a result of the commitment and partnerships between the visual arts network and venues within the city and funding partnerships with Glasgow Life, Creative Scotland, Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, EventScotland and Scottish Enterprise Glasgow.

Newly commissioned work by Teresa Margolles to be premiered at 2012 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art


Media Release

Newly commissioned work by Teresa Margolles
to be premiered at 2012 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art



Teresa Margolles is creating new work responding to the recent riots in English cities as part of a Production Residency at the Glasgow Sculpture Studios (GSS). The Mexican artist, whose visceral installation was one of the most striking and emotive pieces at the 2009 Venice Biennale, was developing work focusing on a recovered photographic archive of over 4,000 images of Ciudad Juárez from the 70s and 80s, when events overtook her.

Margolles travelled to London to document the aftermath of the riots both in photographic form and through the collection of debris. Arriving back in Glasgow she has developed a number of new works including performative actions in public spaces in Glasgow and Edinburgh using newspaper headlines that document media and public responses to the riots.

This new work, along with her research into the historic Luis Alvarado photographs of a town that today is infamous as the one of the murder capitals of the world reflects on the idea that all places have a story of suffering etched into their past. It will form the first exhibition in Glasgow Sculpture Studios new premises in The Whisky Bond at Spiers Locks shown as part of the 2012 Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art.
"The impact of Margolles' work still haunts me today, years after encountering it at the 2009 Venice Biennale. She presented new work, entitled 'What Else Could We Talk About?' which included an action that took place, daily, where the pavilion floors where being mopped with a mixture of water and blood from murdered people in Mexico."
Amy Sales

Margolles' GSS Production Residency has been supported by Creative Scotland and the Henry Moore Foundation and with a Wellcome Trust Arts Award.

 
Since the inauguration of the Production Residency programme GSS have invited Beagles & Ramsay (2008-09) Siobhán Hapaska (2009-10) Jimmie Durham (2010) and Christine Borland (2010-11), and co-commissioned new work with a wide range of national and international partners and funders including Creative Scotland, Henry Moore Foundation, Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art. This programme is curated by Amy Sales, Head of Programme.

Notes for Editors

Teresa Margolles
"With a minimalist artistic vocabulary, executed in highly emotional and ethically charged materials,Teresa Margolles manages to sharpen her view of death and conditions in Mexico with radical compression and concentration."
Rein Wolfs

 
International artist, Teresa Margolles (b. 1963 Culiacán, Mexico) lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico. For the next three-months Margolles will live and work in Glasgow, Scotland to undertake the next Glasgow Sculpture Studios Production Residency, funded by Creative Scotland, Henry Moore Foundation and The Wellcome Trust.

 Margolles studied art and communication sciences at the National University of Mexico followed by a diploma in forensic medicine. She is one of the founders of the group SEMEFO (Servicio Médico Forense/Forensic Medicine Service). Recent solo exhibitions include Frontera at Kunsthalle Fridericianum in Kassel and Museion Bolzano 2011,Los Herederos, Peter Kilchmann Zurich 2009, and En Lugar de los Hechos - Anstelle der Tatsachen  Kunsthalle Krems 2008, 127 cuerpos, Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen Dusseldorf 2006, Caída Libre/Chute libre Frac Lorraine, Metz 2005, Muerte sin fin, Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt Main 2004 and The Shroud, Kunsthalle Wien Vienna 2003. Margolles has presented work at Manifesta7 Bolzano 2008, the Liverpool Biennale 2006, the Prague Biennale 2005 and 2003 and the Gwangju Biennale 2004. In 2009 she represented Mexico at the 53rd Venice Biennale presenting What Else Could We Talk About?

Since belonging to the group SEMEFO, whose name is derived from the forensic medical service, Margolles has chosen as her atelier, first the morgue and the dissecting room, and more recently, the violence-ridden streets of Mexico. These are places of death but also places which bear witness to social unrest. Margolles works not so much directly with the remains of bodies but rather with the traces of life, with shrouds, burial and memory, and with the way a violent act shatters human networks and affects them in various levels.


Glasgow Sculpture Studios is "a unique centre for research, production, presentation and the dissemination of contemporary sculptural practices,"

Founded in 1988, Glasgow Sculpture Studios (GSS) has played a key role in the development of the artistic community, which has put Glasgow on the international map. Offering studio space for residents and production facilities for artists from Glasgow and beyond, GSS has supported the creation of work seen in exhibitions across the globe. Among the current 50+ studio holders are Turner prize nominee, Nathan Coley, Alex Frost, David Shrigley, Calum Stirling, Smith/Stewart, Stephen Hurrel, and many of the artists who have represented Scotland at the prestigious Venice Art Biennale including Claire Barclay.

The Public Programme is curated by Amy Sales to reflect the diverse range of approaches to contemporary sculpture and Glasgow as a centre for the production and exhibition of internationally significant visual art.

Art Destroyed The World And It Won't Stop There

Art Destroyed The World And It Won't Stop There

Queens Park Railway Club are delighted to announce their inaugural exhibition. As part of QPRCs curatorial residency with program Gregor Johnstone and Henry Coombes.

Art Destroyed The World And It Won't Stop There

Coombes and Johnstone have spent the last two years collaborating on an iPhone app that would allow the smart phone to measure loneliness. It works by wiping the phone through your arse crevice to take measurements of bum-hole acidity. As personal hygiene declines following long periods of isolation the levels of acidity correlates perfectly to loneliness. The app was a total failure so they decided to make a film about the horror and futility of making art.

Mark Inglis' Talk

Between losing his legs at 23-years-old due to frostbite and then going on to be the only double amputee to have stood on the roof of the world, the summit of Mount Everest, Mark Inglis has carved out careers as a scientist, a world recognised winemaker, sportsman, trekking guide and a leading international motivator. Visit his website: www.markinglis.co.nz<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=53090140&msgid=571818&act=B4SY&c=479857&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.markinglis.co.nz>

________________________________

Norma D. Hunter's Walk

As part of Mark Inglis' visit to Huntly, Artist Norma D. Hunter will be creating a Huntly Wish Tree. From a Clootie Well in Munlochy, Black Isle, Norma will collect water and bring it home to Huntly by foot. Her pilgrimmage through Invernessshire and Moray to Huntly will take a week. On the last walk between Keith and Huntly Mark Inglis will accompany her.

There is a long standing tradition of Clootie Wells in Scotland. The waters of the wells are believed to be very beneficial to health. By dipping a strip of clothing from an afflicted person in the waters of the well and hanging them on a nearby tree the illness is supposed to leave the person as the material deteriorates. Norma D. Hunter will create a wish tree in the Meadow woods of Huntly blessed with the waters of the Clootie Well.

Taking a chronological selection of 4 of Currall's single-channel video works produced between 1995 and 2004, this solo presentation aims to initiate a discussion between Rhubaba and Currall around a new work commissioned for their gallery space next year.

Born Stoke on Trent, 1964, Currall has exhibited widely in group and solo shows at galleries including the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow, Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne, Hayward Gallery, London, Malmö Konsthall, Malmö and Stills Gallery, Edinburgh. In 2002 he exhibited at the Jerwood Gallery as part of the Artist Platform series and was nominated for the Beck's Futures Prize in 2003. He is a part-time lecturer on Sculpture and Environmental Art at Glasgow School of Art and also a visiting lecturer in Intermedia at Edinburgh College of Art.

Alongside Currall's works, Rhubaba have collected a small library of publications and printed-material produced over it's first two years of operation.
