Mandy McIntosh is an artist from Springburn in northeast Glasgow. She often works with existing public sculpture in this Ward, dating from the Victorian era, to signify the negative and ongoing impact of historically enacted hegemonic planning and social deprivation. Her work is characterised by processes she terms “resocialisation”: actions like repair, relocation, or reproduction, which make visible the social plastic of sculpture. For Springburn Sculpture Park (Communal Bronze), Mandy worked with local people to explore the concept of bronze as a communal element inserted into Springburn Sculpture Park. She has previously worked with Springburn Unity Network, the Hunterian Museum, and the Imperial War Museum in Springburn to repair the Cowlairs Cooperative Monument, gifted to the city of Glasgow by workers in 1902.
