Disrupting Space: Sharing Practice is an event by three artist within the Outer Spaces’ Glasgow studio network—Gianni Esporas, Olivia Priya Foster, and Amy Louise Lawrence—whose work collectively spans sculpture, installation, film, writing, performance, and choreography. Responding to Martinican writer Édouard Glissant’s concept of “trembling thinking” and its embrace of fluid, relational, and non-fixed perspectives, the performance considers the buildings occupied by Outer Spaces in a “meanwhile” capacity, especially the Merchant City. Many of these buildings are usually inaccessible to the public and are now home to artists creating new work and projects. Gianni, Olivia, and Amy will share their practices, processes, and projects that are underway in these locations, reflecting on their relationships to space, identity, and history.
