Individual Residencies
2017 | Jamie Watt
Jamie Watt draws on the anti-authoritarian, darkly comedic and democratic ethos of Scottish Art to investigate cultural tribalism, power structures and the fluid nature of truth and knowledge. Inspired by the theological and social forces that forged the modern world he merges the ecclesiastical with the proletarian and the historical with the contemporary to create iconoclastic arrangements. Spanning a wide range of media his practice often focuses on the recontextualisation of historical characters or artefacts to create a new discourse and understanding surrounding contemporary cultural identity.
