Strata Collective

The Strata Collective was established in 2020 at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the past two years, eight artists from the MLitt Fine Art Practice (Sculpture pathway) at The Glasgow School of Art have supported each other and worked together to find innovative and imaginative ways to continue their practice during and post pandemic. This exhibition is a mix of new work and work created while studying at the GSA, using casting, carving, sound, ceramics, woodworking, textiles, and digital methods, as well as adapted ready-mades. It illustrates the strength of their collective approach, and the high-level creative output they still managed to achieve during lockdown.

In 2021, with support from Creative Scotland, the Strata Collective exhibited for the first time since graduating in August 2020 at the New Glasgow Society. The Collective’s next show Expanse will open at the Pipe Factory in Glasgow later in 2022.

A Remix of Damage is supported by The Glasgow School of Art as part of the School’s commitment to supporting 2020 graduates with physical shows once COVID restrictions allowed.

With thanks to Innis & Gunn and citizenM for their support.
