Arm’s Length Government Body – Shona Macnaughton
08.10.2016
Arm’s Length Government Body is a new performance work by Shona Macnoughton which takes as it’s starting point the unique conditions of property in which Céline finds itself, drawing attention to the space as a private dwelling house which can never be owned by its occupants. The audience will bear witness to an intimate contractual arrangement as they are taken through heart warming scenes of domesticity. Tones of care will create new grounds for eviction.
Shona Macnaughton (b.1983, London) She is currently based in Glasgow and gained an MFA from Edinburgh College of Art in 2009. Recent projects and exhibitions include: The Universal Schoolgirl (2016) performed as part of the Jerwood Staging Series, Jerwood Space, London and ‘The Scottish Endarkenment. Art and Unreason. 1945 to Present’, Dovecot, Edinburgh, When Slaves Love One Another, It’s Not Love (2014) commission for Edinburgh Art Festival, with Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh (2014) and Accept the mystery!

Nieces, Nephews – Gordon Douglas
05.02.2016
Nieces, Nephews marks the first public outcome of a conversation conceived by Gordon Douglas around the seminar ‘Performing Life’ that he and Georgia Horgan attended whilst studying at CalArts. The research has evolved around a common interest with Georgia and Celine in notions of reproduction, documentation and cultural inheritance in performance art and education.
The evening event will be performed by Gordon Douglas and Georgia Horgan
Le Cruel et Curieux Vie Du La Salmonellapod, 2001
Alex Bag and Ethan Kramer
His Girlfriend is a Robot, 1996
Alex Bag
I wonder who’s been around here long enough to know?, 2016
Gordon Douglas
plus a text from Caitlyn Outfit: The Maintenance Guy is Dead; Long Live the Maintenance Guy, 1976$
Alex Bag was born in New York in 1969 and received her BFA from Cooper Union. She is most widely recognised for her ironic performance videos of the 1990s and 2000s, where she performs as multiple personae amidst fragments of pop detritus. Bag grills the tropes of consumer and media culture in droll conceptual parodies that take cue from televisual experience. From 1994-1997, Bag produced a public broadcast television programme ‘Cash From Chaos’ alongside frequent collaborator Patterson Beckwith. With her signature deadpan delivery and deliberately low-tech style, Bag questions how we define ourselves in relation to television, fashion, advertising and the artworld. Her father worked in advertisement, and her mother was the host of a popular children’s television programme – The Carol Corbett Show, which was later renamed The Patchwork Family.
Caitlyn Outfit is the name of a group of artists, thinkers, activists and performers who met and practiced under the United States Federal Witness Protection Program in the 1970s. Originally from different cities across the US, the group were brought together in nearby rural towns in central America. Having such a de-centered locale, the general discourse the group were aware of was greatly mediated by printed material (magazines, journals and books), television, and radio broadcast. The outfit therefore developed their own personal discourse – a thrown-together assemblage of thoughts by contemporaries, as well as ideas born out of their situation as anonymous indebtors to the witness relocation scheme. The Outfit practiced principally through conversation with one another, but had a minor amount of public outlet through self-published text, performance score and sound art.
Gordon Douglas is a performance artist and collaborator living and working in Glasgow, Scotland. He is currently invested in developing alternative models of co-inhabitance, friendship and organisation by instigating working dynamics with artists, designers and practitioners. His father works in investments and his mother works in dementia daycare.
Georgia Horgan is an artist based in Glasgow who uses video, performance, sculpture, appropriation and collaboration to research how histories are represented and politicised. Her father is a mechanic, and her mother formerly owned a travel agency in Surbiton, until the late nineties when she sold the business to become a full-time mother.

Hybrid – Aniara Omann
31.01.2016
A hybrid is per definition a merged version of two, or more, individual entities. This merged version exists on its own as a new individual, holding within it the definitions of each of the multiple individuals.
Following this train of thought, we can question what a merging is, when it is occurring, and what this means to our idea of individuality.
Five artists, who all have specific interest in the subjects of biology, environmental issues or science fiction, have been asked to write texts considering the idea of ‘the Hybrid’, and the potential expanse of individual objects.
At the event performer Phoebe Amis will do a reading of the texts that have been submitted in response to the theme.
The contributing artists are:
Brandon Cramm (US)
Hannah James (UK)
Francis McKee (IRE)
Joanna Monks (UK)
Scott Rogers (CA)
Additionally there will be a live demonstration of the Halo Harp.
The Halo Harp is a cross-beamed, laser based musical instrument produced in Glasgow, which has the capacity for recording, playing back and controlling sounds.
Physicist Giles Hammond will give an introduction to the harp.
