From Talbot-Rice Gallery…..
“We are excited to share our plans for the year ahead. Our current exhibition The Recent explores what art can do to stretch the human imagination in a deeper, future oriented timeframe. You can see works by Eglė Budvytytė, Helen Cammock, Dorothy Cross, Regina de Miguel, Mikala Dwyer, Nicholas Mangan, Angelica Mesiti, Otobong Nkanga, Katie Paterson, Micol Roubini and Simon Starling until 17 February. Don't forget to catch our academic tours over the next few weeks to learn more about the exhibition.
From 16 March 2024 we will present a solo exhibition of Candice Lin in the Georgian Gallery – the University’s former natural history museum – opening speculative conversations about humanness, animality, race and gender have been shaped by histories of science. Tracing an alternate genealogy of sexual knowledge drawn from queer historians and theorists, Lin examines the porous boundaries and violent intimacies that define the non-human.
In our adjoining gallery, as our Talbot Rice Residents programme comes to a close after 5 years, join us for the final exhibition to celebrate artists – Alaya Ang, Crystal Bennes, Renèe Helèna Browne, Ross Fleming, Maria de Lima, Emmie McLuskey, Sekai Machache, Thulani Rachia and Kirsty Russell and Matt Zurowski.
Throughout the summer period, we are thrilled to announce a major solo exhibition of Ghanaian artist El Anatsui across all our galleries and a significant outdoor installation in the University of Edinburgh’s Old College Quad. Reflecting the complexity of stitching together cultural, national and ethnic ideas of belonging in the aftermath of colonialism in Africa, the shape-shifting forms reflect Anatsui’s active understanding of his artworks as living objects – carriers of meaning, listening and evolving, reacting to whoever has them in their custody. The exhibition will be the most significant explorations of Anatsui’s practice which spans more than five decades, ever staged in the UK.
In October 2024, we will present two solo exhibitions with Guadalupe Maravilla and Gabrielle Goliath. Maravilla’s life has intersected with war, asylum and cancer, resulting in a practice that is entwined with a process dedicated to overcoming these analogous traumas: ancient and contemporary knowledge entangle in his work to create healing instruments.
Opposite Maravilla, will be Gabrielle Goliath’s Personal Accounts - a transnational, decolonial, black feminist project of repair. In this immersive and deeply affecting series of video and sound cycles, the artist addresses the global normativity of patriarchal violence working in close collaboration with survivors and allies in Johannesburg, Tunisia, Oslo, Milan, Stellenbosch and now Edinburgh.
We look forward to welcoming you to Talbot Rice Gallery over the coming weeks and months.
Wishing you all good health, happiness, and peace in the new year ahead.
