LUX and LUX Scotland are proud to present a solo exhibition by Glasgow-based artist Jamie Crewe featuring their Margaret Tait Award commission Ashley (2020).
About
Ashley is a semi-autobiographical rural horror film filmed on the West Coast of Scotland, designed for cinema viewing. Its only character is played onscreen by the artist, and voiced in narration by the poet and performance maker Travis Alabanza. Drawing on the conventions of the rural horror genre (seen in television series such as the BBC’s West Country Tales, 1982–83) and of Margaret Tait’s work in the Scottish landscape tradition, the film takes an experience of modern femininity and mines it for terror. In doing so, it animates the fears, stresses, and vivid transformations of a certain kind of trans life.
Alongside the film itself, the exhibition includes Ashley’s oil (2020), a room scent co-composed by the artist and their collaborators, an untitled collage on a dark grey felt board and a recorded artist’s talk PEOPLE HAVE COME which will be available online on the LUX website for the duration of the show.
Book a time slot in advance on the LUX website.

MEN’S WORK
1 December / 6pm at cytu.be/r/menswork
Men’s Work is an online screening of material that has informed the development of Jamie Crewe’s Ashley (2020). The screening will feature TV episodes and radio excerpts, dating from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, that base themselves in newly bought or renovated rural cottages. Between these episodes will be recorded readings of texts that inspired Jamie in the writing and conception of Ashley.
Presented by LUX and LUX Scotland
Supported by On & For Production and Distribution, an initiative co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union
