Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art

Flat 2/1, 1 Royal Terrance

This show curated by Switalski seeked to refresh the ideas of what the term landscape means, by tearing down and re-forming the romantic image of how it has been perceived in an historical art context.

Artists Belinda Gilbert Scott, Marion Ferguson and Ruth Switalski challenged themselves by setting up their work in an absurdist counterpart to landscape as a genre, as a way of pointing out the glaringly obvious way we edit out our own destructive, abusive nature toward a landscape through its romanticisation.

Using contemporary materials and approaches to production, this exhibition sought to forcibly push historicised and typified connotations of a landscape and its association with the body into a hyper-neo sexed-up vista.
