Market Gallery

Market Gallery presented a two-person exhibition with Aniara Omann and Gary Zhexi Zhang exploring the fluidity and contradictions between disparate systems through the use of concepts derived from consciousness-based reality, quantum physics and microbiology.

The exhibition’s focus on micro-and-macro ecologies pointed towards the complex interrelation between global network relations and local communities as epitomised by Glasgow’s unique arts community.
