Launching Travelling Gallery’s 2025 programme is an exhibition of new collaborative work by artists Rachel McBrinn and Alison Scott made following a period of research and development at St Andrews Botanic Garden, where they have been artists in residence. Working across moving-image, writing, and with a focus on archival materials, the work on display in the gallery centres around the recent decommissioning of the glasshouses at St Andrews Botanic Gardens and their research into the ideologies and histories these structures represent.
The exhibition is centred around their film, After Glass that weaves together both archival and found footage with their own research imagery to unpick the different ways in which glasshouses have been employed to display, preserve, contain & eradicate particular species and narratives.
Launching in Edinburgh at the Collective Gallery, Calton Hill on Friday 14 March from 11am to 5pm, the exhibition will tour across Scotland until 9th May.
