Alex Hartley

Alex Hartley is a British artist whose work confronts our experience of the built and natural environments. Working primarily with photography, though often incorporating it into sculpture and installation, Hartley assumes a shifting set of roles from photographer and architectural historian to builder, rambler, mountaineer and explorer, offering an original analysis of architecture and its relationship to landscape.

On the façade of the Gallery, Hartley has made a new work that particularly exemplifies his individual approach. He has clad the Gallery in an image of itself, marked with routes he has previously climbed. Inside, the exhibition continues with photographs of Hartley climbing other Scottish buildings, photographic collages, sculptures and two impressive installations.
