The continent of Europe is moving towards Africa at the rate of approximately 2cm per year – eventually it will slide underneath entirely. Paris-based Canadian artist Kapwani Kiwanga takes this fact as a starting point for a new multi-faceted installation at Tramway. Through new sculptural works Kiwanga suggests speculative fictions that stretch through a perspective of deep geological time.

Commissioned by Glasgow International. Supported by Canada House, Institut Français’ Fluxus Programme, Fyfe Glenrock and the Henry Moore Foundation.

Mark LeckeyFor his solo exhibition at Tramway, Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Leckey has taken inspiration from a small statuette from the Wellcome Collection which was originally

thought to depict a syphilitic male, but was later said to be a representation of the

biblical figure Job. In Tramway’s main gallery, Leckey reconfigures this statuette to human

proportions creating a relatable, abject figure who occupies Tramway’s vast gallery.


In Leckey’s sci-fi version of the figure his body becomes expanded and infiltrated by technology. The man’s open wounds and body cavity are hollowed out and filled with speaker systems that give voice to his wounds. The process of digitally replicating the statue is in itself referenced and used as material; the 3D scan of the original has been unfurled to create a ‘digital skin’, which is depicted flayed and flattened, and hangs in the space like a grotesque figure painting. Opposite Job a large ‘mirror’ video work reflects the figure and digitally re-animates his body, creating a dialogue between the statue and its virtual avatar. ‘Part Dalek, part Abandoned House, Job’s body is now merely a Thing amongst Things – the Spirit has departed the Flesh.’

This exhibition is co-curated and co-commissioned by Glasgow International and Tramway. It has been made possible due to the generous support of the Wellcome Collection, London, and the Henry Moore Foundation.

Tai ShaniDark Continent: SEMIRAMIS

Tai Shani creates a large-scale immersive installation that also functions as a site for performance. The work is an experimental adaptation of Christine de Pizan’s 1405 proto-feminist text The Book of the City of Ladies.

Twelve performers create a twelve-part performance depicting an allegorical city of women, imagining an alternative history which privileges sensation, experience and interiority, simultaneously proposing a post-patriarchal future.

The performances will take place on the opening three days of the festival, with the sequences filmed and the documentation subsequently presented alongside the installation.

Co-commissioned by Glasgow International and The Tetley, Leeds; with support from Arts Council England and the Henry Moore Foundation.

An evening of animation, film, and reading programmed by Glasgow-based artist Jamie Crewe. This event provides a chance to engage with an eclectic body of works that have informed Pastoral Drama, Crewe’s new moving image commission for Tramway and KW Institute of Contemporary Art in Berlin, which will form the basis of a solo show at Tramway in September.

Rustic Prologue introduces this work with a wide range of inspirational material, featuring journeys, returns, violent changes, rurality, and queer disenfranchisement, united by an interest in experimental animation.

Pastoral Drama is a co-commission with the KW Production Series, and a collaboration with the Julia Stoschek Collection and OUTSET Germany_Switzerland. This screening is supported by Festival 2018.

Samara Scott

Samara Scott will create a large site specific installation in response to Tramway’s main gallery inspired by its architecture and similarity to open air spaces such as the arcade, market or street. Scott’s work is often improvised in situ, using fluid and supple materials that allow her to work at a certain tempo. Body gel, glitter, toilet paper, sponges, milk, nail varnish and food dyes are just some of the many substances that make up her alchemic and sumptuous forms.

At Tramway Scott literally suspends the miscellaneous accumulations of everyday life to create a series of translucent, putrid, and seductive sculptures.

A heart-wrenching, humorous journey into the female psyche, MOUTHPIECE triumphed at Edinburgh Fringe 2017.Created and performed by Amy Nostbakken & Norah Sadava.
