A many voiced argument with life is a celebration of friendship in its broadest sense – as the company we choose to keep, argue with and return to. It is also an experiment in entanglements, many of which have been made ever more complex since the project was first devised in 2019.

In a challenge to curatorial control, Market Gallery invited nine Glasgow-based artists to contribute existing work to a new publication; they in turn invited a further nine. The publication as it stands now is a conglomeration of timelines and ephemera that orbit day-to-day art practice.

A many voiced argument with life embraces this ensuing unpredictability and the contingent nature of the realities of production and the various social relations that make us.
