The exhibition, seven x seven, is now open as part of Glasgow International 2021, with works at wasps South Block and Briggait Project Spaces until 27 June and GI online until 31 July. Curated by Mother Tongue, seven x seven brings together new commissions and existing work across installation, sound, film and text. It follows the artist’s 2019 show, A COVEN A GROVE A STAND, which was commissioned by Firstsite as part of New Geographies, a project initiated by the East Contemporary Visual Arts Network and co-ordinated by Wysing Arts Centre. Drawing together strands of enquiry into the histories and folklore around witchcraft, the seven x seven takes multiple forms across multiple sites, evoking and connecting narratives of gender and persecution between the East of England and Scotland, through acts of voicing and remembrance as individual and collective acts of resistance.
Supported by Glasgow International, Glasgow School of Art, University of the Arts London, Arts Council England, Association for Art History and wasps. The exhibition guide, installation views, list of works, essays and events can be found here.
