Featured Events in Renfrew in October, 2024 (June Updated)

Come and join the artists Stephanie Smith & Eddie Stewart for an informal gallery talk on their exhibition PRESENT TENSE. This gallery tour will last for up to 45 minutes. Limited places so please book your free ticket via Eventbrite. Since the mid 1990’s Stephanie Smith and Eddie Stewart have been making work together as SMITH/STEWART. They work and live in Glasgow and both teach in The School of Fine Art. Their work explores interdependence and the relationships we have with one another. They make sculptural installations, with a primary emphasis on the body and the implication of the viewer. Their practice develops out of collaborative dialogue and material investigation, to construct situations in which the viewer becomes central as an active constituent. Pared back to what’s essential, they are interested in the co-existence of connection and separation, power and powerlessness. Of things shifting in and out of sync with one another, coming together and moving apart. They are showing a new body of work in the Reid Gallery and alongside, in the Reid corridor, they present material in relation to their process of making, never usually shown. SMITH/STEWART’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and they have participated in key survey shows on both video and language. They have had solo exhibitions in NGBK Berlin, Kunstmuseum Luzern, Portikus Frankfurt am Main, Chisenhale Gallery London, Inverleith House Edinburgh. Their work is in public collections including Arts Council England, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and Tate. Access to the exhibition is through the main entrance of the Reid Building, which has step free access and double width doors. Both Reid Gallery and Reid Ground Floor Corridor are located on the ground floor. For Accessibility Information clickhere Image: Cleave (detail), 2024 © SMITH/STEWART, courtesy of the artists.
