Forced Rest is a new series of online exhibition tours especially for spoonie, crip, disabled and energy-limited artists, creatives and others, as a way to enable us to visit exhibitions that we would otherwise struggle to.
Glasgow International is Scotland’s biennial of contemporary art. Presented at locations across the city every two years, the festival is a globally-renowned platform for experiencing the vital work of artists and arts organisers active today.
Director, Helen Nesbit, and curators, Pelumi Odubanjo and Poi Marr, will lead a tour across two of the exhibition sites:
Tropical Hardware is an exhibition of new sculptural and installation work by Tanoa Sasraku. The exhibition takes uniforms and trinkets as carriers of personal and political memory, exploring how they are deployed in the quest for individual and state power. Featuring newly commissioned works on paper, found objects, and sculpture, the artist contends with the role of women in crafting the masculine ideal.
Liquid Land is the debut European solo exhibition by Australian South Sea Islander artist Jasmine Togo-Brisby. Presenting new site-specific installations and sculptural works made in response to the architectural history of Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art, the exhibition explores histories of enslavement and domestic labour whilst tracing relationships across the Pacific, Australia, and wider dialogues about the transatlantic slave trade.
