Future exhibition

Stills’ Social Documents programme concludes with a major group exhibition which examines the impact of the economy upon life.

ECONOMY aims to provide an explicitly critical angle on how the global dominance of capital since 1989 has impacted on the formation of contemporary subjects by addressing issues that range from migration, labour, sexuality, the crisis of democracy to the quest for alternatives. Presented across Stills (Edinburgh) and the Centre for Contemporary Art (Glasgow), the exhibitions will present the work of a number of artists from across the globe in addition to new residency-based commissions by Edinburgh-based photographer Owen Logan and the Austrian collective Wochenklausur.

Ursula Biemann (Switzerland), Pauline Boudry & Renate Lorenz (Germany), Tracey Emin (England), Andrea Fraser (USA), Andreas Gursky (Germany), Kai Kaljo (Estonia), Owen Logan (Scotland), Rick Lowe (USA), Jenny Marketou (Greece/USA), Angela Melitopoulos (Germany), Tanja Ostojić (Serbia), Anu Pennanen (Finland), Allan Sekula (USA), Hito Steyerl (Germany), Wochenklausur (Austria).

Curated by Angela Dimitrakaki and Kirsten Lloyd.

ECONOMY will be presented with support from Creative Scotland, The University of Edinburgh, The Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust, The Austrian Cultural Forum London and the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen.
