Co-commissioned with Reid Gallery, The Glasgow School of Art
Marlene Smith’s solo exhibition will include new sculptural and drawing work, emerging from the artists’ ongoing interest in the material and bodily qualities of sculptural practice and inquiries into the cyclical nature of social histories and familial entanglements.
