Berthing (in transit)

Two white men under fluorescent lights are wearing a black t-shirt and are mixing things like a in a lab experiment. There is a red panel behind them.

A metal table has several materials on top of it: a carton box, a small bowl, pigment and bottles.

With red panels surrounding them, there are two people in black shirts and blue jeans in movement on the ground. There are two people sitting down in the windowsill, observing.

Three people dressed in black are leaning towards the window or wall on the right.

One blonde white person is lying down in a red table whilst the other person is putting flowers in their face. They are both wearing black sweaters.

TS Queen Mary

MollyMae Whawell presented her first solo show featuring new sculpture and movement works conceived for Glasgow International 2018. Performances and performance-making punctuated a sculptural landscape of half-constructed parts, space acting as exhibition; choreographic score; stage.

A series of signals displaced the viewer; a rehearsal, material, assembling, unpacked, floating, in transit. The exhibition was part of ongoing research into crossovers between contemporary sculpture and dance.

Supported by Glasgow City Council.

Built in 1933, The TS Queen Mary was the largest of the Clyde steamers. Retired in 1977, she returned to a permanent berth in the city in 2016.
