Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art

Savoy Centre

Can art be a vehicle for alchemy and magic? The seven artists behind Ascending Delight posed this question, bringing together diverse ideas about exchanges in contemporary culture as our world becomes evermore digitised and connected at the price of a diminished sense of place and security.

The works aimed to find a way to navigate this increasingly linked, yet dissociative culture. A coinciding project at The Laurieston bar saw a photo-based publication on display alongside the pub's customer photo albums.
