Claire Barclay: KINSKINS

We are delighted to announce Claire Barclay's upcoming solo exhibition, KINSKINS, at Glasgow Print Studio. Exploring the interplay of print approaches within Barclay's sculptural practice, the exhibition will blur the values and references attached to material and form as the focus shifts between fabric, paper, wood, and metal. Barclay invites viewers to discover meanings, feelings, and provocations through encounters with the materials themselves, within details such as wood grain, fabric weave, transparent ink layers, and the nature of their interactions.

Barclay is a leading figure in a generation of graduates from the Glasgow School of Art in the 1990s, a group of young artists studying in the city who rose to the fore of the contemporary art world. She has since been the subject of numerous solo presentations including Tate Britain, London (2004); Camden Art Centre, London (2008); MUDAM, Luxembourg (2009); Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (2010); Tramway, Glasgow (2017) and The MAC, Belfast (2022).
