EXHIBITION ANNOUNCEMENT
New Order I Other Spaces, Kelvin Hall Ballroom, Argyle Street, Glasgow; Threshold Artspace, Perth Concert Hall and Perth Theatre, Perth, 2 August — 22 November 2018
As part of Festival 2018 — the cultural programme accompanying the inaugural Glasgow 2018 European Championships — Horsecross Arts announces multi-site solo presentation New Order I Other Spaces by London-based artist Jo Longhurst. Co-curated by Tiffany Boyle and Iliyana Nedkova, the project explores the gymnastic body across photography, moving image and installation, presented simultaneously in Glasgow and Perth. New commissions produced in collaboration with gymnasts of all ages and responding to archival research take form in new moving image work, and responses to the life and work of dancer, choreographer and teacher Margaret Morris.
New Order I Other Spaces engages with ideas of perfection, gender, gesture, and inter-generational understandings of movement.
