35 & Counting
35 & Counting: Ross Sinclair
In early February we launched ’35 & Counting’, an exhibition and online auction, marking 35 years of supporting emerging artists.
All proceeds of the online auction, launching on Thursday 16 February (5pm), will support our artist residency programme.
To showcase the 29 artworks generously donated, we have asked each of the artists to remind us about their involvement with the gallery and what a residency means to them.
Ross Sinclair
Ross Sinclair is an artist, writer and musician and is currently Reader in Contemporary Art Practice in the School of Fine Art at The Glasgow School of Art. He is best known for his ‘Real Life’ project initiated when he had the words tattooed in black ink across his back in 1994. The ‘Real Life Project’ has been disseminated across a range of exhibition and publication contexts, positioned against a critical framework of contested models of audience participation, ‘Everyday Life’ and ‘The Real’.
Ross showed an immersive installation ‘Journey to the Edge of the World’ at Aspex in 2000. The work transformed the space into a stunning representation of the island of St. Kilda, reflecting on its social and political history.
What does a studio/place to work mean to you?
Like the inside of your head spread out around you
How have funded residencies supported your professional development, and what impact have they had on your work?
I have undertaken a number of funded residencies over the years and they have provided invaluable concentrated time to fully immerse yourself in the context of the residency or the context of your practice, without debilitating external pressure on time/money/responsibilities.
