Out of the wrong comes the sweetness @ Lowsalt

Opening on 5 November, Stephen Murray and Alex Gross's dual show at Lowsalt should be a suitably dark and intriguing experience within one of Glasgow's newer artist-run exhibition spaces. Located on Renfrew Street, Lowsalt represents an alternative to the pristine, sometimes sterile environments of more established, commercial spaces. The aesthetic here is more on the side of rough and ready, a place where people make art for the sake of making and sharing art, where the programme is led by what is interesting, different, challenging rather than by what is commercially viable or indeed in keeping with some spurious notion of the contemporary Scottish époque.

For this show Ganghut's Stephen Murray promises to continue on his mythopoeic adventure, creating drawing and a large tripod sculpture based on research he has been doing into 18th century follies and "the tall tales and drunken boasts that spring up around the creation of them". He will also be dealing with the 'Jack' figure of myth and folklore, and presumably playing with the Scottish vernacular to create his own particular brand of allusive artwork. Alex Gross follows on from his Cabbage Heid show in the Glasgow Sculpture Studios with works which will be looser in style, with more drawings which will apparently include more mushrooms. Details may be vague at this point but, judging by the artists' past work and the nature of the exhibition space, the show should prove to be unique, inspiring and well worth a peek.
