This week is your last chance to see Circle, our critically acclaimed survey of works by the American-born, Glasgow-based artist Margaret Salmon. It continues in Tramway 2 until Sunday 18 March.
Here's a round-up of what the critics have been saying...
“Salmon’s works contain an inner cadence that resonates with both the experiential and the imaginative, yoking together images that are ordinary and available. They recur and recur and are unfailingly observed until suddenly there is a slip into a sharp clarity, a simple awareness.”
“American Glasgow-based artist Margaret Salmon’s filmic, atmospheric, and carefully rendered installation, sensitive to the nuances of people, the subtleties of places and objects (and her relationships to them) is housed in Tramway immense principal space, and renders it quieter than normal, in half-light, a place for a rare, esoteric experience.“
During the exhibition run, Glasgow Indie duo Sacred Paws performed a specially commissioned instrumental piece to accompany Margaret Salmon’s latest documentary Mm. A performance that
Paul Whitelaw in The Scotsman described as. “…a powerful fusion of music and the moving image.”
If you'd like to hear what the artist herself has to say about her work, Margaret Salmon will be at Tramway to discuss the themes in 'Circle', on the final day of the exhibition, Sunday 18 March, from 2pm.
