This exhibition profiles 5 Glasgow based artists whose work embraces individual methodologies of conceptual photography which offer fresh approaches to image-making.
About
Working independently of one another, the works of the artists comment variously upon the passage of time through processes of making, or through reference to nature, places and personal memories/histories. Most of this work is being presented for the first time.
In Frank McElhinney's '45 Sun Pictures in Scotland’ two hundred pinhole cameras were placed in the 45 most populous cities and towns of Scotland in late December 2014. They were filled with photographic paper and tied high on lampposts, drainpipes and trees facing south. A month or more later the cameras were recovered. Unfixed images burned into the photographic paper were scanned before they faded away. The final prints show sun trails and traces of 45 places. The work makes reference to the Scottish Independence Referendum, which stirred the political consciousness of a disillusioned people. It was supposed to settle the national question once and for all, but that did not happen.
