Scottish Art Events & Exhibitions: November 2022

Kelvin Guy opens their exhibition Nothing Yet on 12 November at iota in the West End of Glasgow. The solo show features dynamic and movement-filled paintings, reflecting the artist’s career as a set painter for Scottish Opera. The show is on public view until 26 November.

Also in Glasgow, The Hunterian opens Turner Prize-winner Elizabeth Price’s first solo show in Scotland, opening to the public on 11 November. The exhibition, titled UNDERFOOT, focuses on Glasgow and Renfrewshire’s textile heritage, referencing and employing never-before-exhibited archival materials. 

Continuing until 25 January 2023, Hayley Tompkins’ exhibition at Fruitmarket titled Far features paintings and films made since 2007. Tompkins’ practice ‘looks at the way we look’ and questions what we pay attention to. The exhibition’s focus is a new installation that displays all of the artist’s films from the past 15 years of her career. Nearby, Stills' annual exhibition FUTUREPROOF sees twelve recent graduates from Glasgow School of Art, Edinburgh Napier University, University of Highlands and Islands, Moray School of Art and Grays School of Art showcasing some of the most exciting contemporary photographic work in the country. For the first time, the exhibition also takes place across Stills and Street Level Photoworks in Glasgow. Both exhibitions open on 12 November.

Over in Perth, Jupiter Artland presents an offsite installation of Rachel McLean’s film work Mimi. First shown in 2021 at the sculpture park and now reconceived by the artist in an abandoned shop on Perth’s High Street, the exhibition continues throughout November. 

This month, Alberta Whittle’s film commission for this year’s Venice Biennale, Lagareh – The Last Born will continue its Scotland-wide tour, screening at Mareel, Shetland Arts in Lerwick, on 27 November.
