Scottish Art Events & Exhibitions: November 2024

In Paisley, artist Anya Gallaccio (who was born in the town) presents a new chocolate-focused installation which has been commissioned as part of the JUPITER+ project by Jupiter Artland. You can see the installation at 18 Paisley High Street until 21 December. At Jupiter Artland itself, just outside Edinburgh, Kialy Tihngang presents a new exhibition Neyinka and the Silver Gong, which centres on a film of the same name that was shown for the first time at this year’s Glasgow International. Continues until 1 December.

Elsewhere, in Edinburgh, photography fans have the opportunity to see works by artists who use Stills’ analogue and digital production facilities in a group exhibition titled Stills Salon (until 30 Nov).  At Collective, pass shadow, whisper shade brings together artists from the gallery’s 2023 Satellites Programme cohort in a group show which will explore the complexities of cultural, genetic and material inheritances. Continues until 22 December. 

A fascinating project by Tape Letters Scotland takes place across three Scottish cities over the next couple of months. The exhibitions focus on the use of the audio cassette as a mode of long-distance communication by Scottish-Pakistani diaspora communities in the 1960s-1980s. The projects will be on display at Dundee Central Library (until 31 Dec), Tramway in Glasgow (until 31 Dec) and Museum of Edinburgh (until 23 Feb). 

Arika returns to Tramway between 13 and 17 November for its 11^th iteration, titled Episode 11: To End the World As We Know It. Highlights this year include contributions from Denise Ferreira da Silva, Karrabing Film Collective, Emilia Beatriz and Hussein Mitha. 

At Cample Line, Chiara Camoni fills the entire gallery with over 30 of her sculptures, which think through the ancestral and vernacular relationship between humans and more-than-human forms. murmur, buzz, hiss and rub continues until 15 December.
