The Clipperton Project

Glasgow Sculpture Studios (GSS) is collaborating with The Clipperton Project (TCP) to animate its galleries and external spaces this summer with an energising cross‐disciplinary, curated programme of international film, public talks, community activities, workshops, one‐off events, micro‐residencies and rolling exhibitions.

TCP’s mission is to empower global communities to address environmental challenges and energise multi‐disciplinary work across frontiers. This is linked to notions of expedition and discovery – from Clipperton Island, to the doorstep in a local green space.

GSS’ new galleries at The Whisky Bond, on the canal at Speirs Locks, will house a series of zones that host different components of activities that make connections between the local and the global, between communities in North Glasgow and communities worldwide.

A number of international artists and scientists who undertook the three-week expedition in March 2012 to Clipperton, an uninhabited French atoll 1,280km from Mexico’s Pacific coast, and TCP Associates artists will present research, prototypes and newly commissioned works.

Exhibition Open
14 July – 27 October 2012
11am – 5pm Thursday-Saturday; or by appointment
