2014 marks the 20th anniversary of Glasgow-born Ross Sinclair’s Real Life projects. Throughout that time Sinclair has sought to re-imagine the relationships in our society through an ongoing investigation of the many institutions and constructs - social, political, economic, cultural, geographical and historical - to which we all are inextricably linked, as individuals and collectively.
Sinclair's exhibition at Collective will provide a timely opportunity to look back at his 20 years of work, while also firmly positioning it in the present and imagining possible futures.
Sinclair has been a leading figure in the collaboration between art and music in Scotland over the last 25 years. This exhibition launches an ongoing project which aims to establish five new bands whose members have been born in the last 20 years. These bands will work with Sinclair over the next year to write and perform new music.
Part of GENERATION, a landmark series of exhibitions celebrating 25 years of contemporary art in Scotland.
