1 August – 1 September 2013
Jacob Dahlgren, Heaven is a place on earth, 2007
Bringing together works by Rachel Adams, Jacob Dahlgren, Nilbar Güreş and Haroon Mirza, this exhibition considers materials, space, physicality and body image within the context of the sporting arena. The show is situated in Meadowbank Sports Centre, the main athletics venue for the 1970 and 1986 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh.
Over the next two years Collective will place works by contemporary artists into sporting venues which were built for the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh and those to be used for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Entitled All Sided Games, this series of events will invite audiences to consider the relationships between participants and spectators, winners and losers, and private and public spaces.
Supported by anCnoc Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
