Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art

Cabinet Interventions

A collaboration between ten artists and the National Trust for Scotland, Cabinet Interventions interrogated the role of material culture in defining place. In post-Brexit Scotland, how might often-contested identities and histories be articulated through institutions such as the Trust?

In 2017 the artists spent time in residence at Pollok House, exploring the cultural, political, historical, ecological and sensorial context of the site. This exhibition drew upon that research and dialogue to present sound, film, sculpture , text and performance.
