Grooving at Transmission Gallery

The annual Transmission Gallery members exhibition is a great way to get an overview of artistic activity happening in the city and beyond. This years show is as varied as ever, and has a lightness of touch.

My contribution to the exhibition is 'Grooving', a set of 4 plaster casts hung on the wall.

Install at Motherwell Theatre and Concert Hall

With the work safely packed in the back of the van, Anne-Louise and I made our way to Motherwell Concert Hall and Theatre to install my exhibition, Grooving.

On arrival, we met Isabel who assisted in the hanging of the exhibition.

Once the works were unwrapped, we tested how they would attach to the rods that are the hanging device at the venue. As usual, there were a couple of technical issues, but we found solutions (lets just say that cardboard came in useful...again!)

 Working out the arrangement of the pieces

The arrangement of the works was determined, in part, to the nature of the hanging system and how many rods the gallery has. Although I had made 15 works, only 14 could be exhibited, and so the work that was proving to be most difficult to attach to the rods was left out.

I am pleased with how the work looks in the context, and hope to find another venue to exhibit the series.
