BORROWED LAND exhibition: Reinventing Scottish Landscape
Borrowed Land brings together over twenty-five of Scotland's most dedicated landscape-inspired artists. Their aim as artists is to experience wonder, to walk paths, learn lessons, and retell them in canvas, paper or clay.
Curation includes the ecstatic artists, and some who see it as a metaphor, a few who live the tides and moons, some who incorporate its body into their work. There are tree worshipers, physicists and intuitive poets of abstraction. Landscape and how we belong to it is maybe the oldest and only story ever written.
Kilmorack Gallery has timed this exhibition - Borrowed Land - to run when Scotland's landscape is at its greatest threat since the clearances. Giant multi-national companies threaten to build electrical substations the size of university campuses, along with 60m high pylon lines hundreds of miles long, and soon after will come the transformation of hills into power stations with a new generation of mega-turbines.
