Another Minimalism
Art After California Light and Space
14 November 2015 – 21 February 2016
Curated by Melissa E. Feldman
Uta Barth (Germany), Larry Bell (US), Carol Bove (Switzerland), Sarah Braman (US), Tacita Dean (UK), Olafur Eliasson (Denmark), Sam Falls (US), Jeppe Hein (Denmark), Robert Irwin (US), Ann Veronica Janssens (UK), Spencer Finch (US), James Welling (US)
Bringing the work of a select group of current-generation artists together with that of two pioneers of West Coast American minimalism, this exhibition examines the impact of California Light and Space art on artists working today.
Robert Irwin and Larry Bell are two of California’s best-known artists. In this exhibition, two of their signature objects – one of Irwin’s iconic discs and a Larry Bell cube – signal the radical and ground-breaking art made in California in the 1960s and 70s.

A Bookweek Scotland Event
Leaping off from the retro-futurism and technological fetish of Light and Space art, this event moves round the gallery with a reading from Faber, author of The Book of Strange New Things, new writing from Cooke taking on the inherent optimism in attempts to develop better worlds for ourselves, and the modular synths and tape delays of band FOUND’s post- cataclysmic landscape. Refreshments and stimulation from caffeinated art collective CONCH. Pulsating pop tones throughout
