Lowlight: Rachel Adams
06 - 27 October
Free & open to all
We are delighted to present a new exhibition of work by Glasgow based artist Rachel Adams titled Lowlight. Exploring the creative, menial, domestic and administrative, the installation for Bloc Projects looks at the linked systems that govern both the natural and manmade world and the possibilities where the two intersect.
We are surrounded by incomprehensible systems. These are not only the current shifts in society and technology that are engulfed by hyperbole, but also the environment and the natural world. Rachel Adams is interested in the collapse of boundaries between the natural and the synthetic, and the part technology and work play in this breakdown. The installation across outdoor and indoor space is composed with a range of materials from hobbyist textiles to digitally fabricated plastics.
A text by David McLeavy was produced to accompany the exhibition.
