Laurieston Arches

Responding to common research interests including landscape, liminality and materiality, these four artists sought to push the boundaries of medium specificity and interdisciplinarity through an ambitious use of four of the Laurieston Arches.

In a site-specific response to the location as a post-industrial 'post-purpose' space, Between preservation and immanent decay navigated the arches' history as a railway site, through its transition from disuse to a place for cultural experimentation. The artists transformed the site into a highly considered exhibition space.
