Lauren Gault

A major new exhibition from Lauren Gault, who is based between Glasgow, Scotland and Magheramorne, Northern Ireland. Her research-led, process-driven practice considers the political, ethical and emotional implications of our changing interactions with matter and the environment. Engaging with multiple fields, her practice seeks to expand discussions around land usership, voice and fluid materials. 

This solo exhibition marks the first show in a Scottish institution for the artist in over a decade, with new commissions in sculpture and print, the latter facilitated through a production residency in DCA Print Studio. The artist’s new body of work explores relationships between palaeontology, agriculture and mineral cycles, and expanded readings of the ‘Echo’ myth within land relations. Collaborating with forensic imaging experts at the University of Dundee’s School of Science and Engineering, Gault will work with advanced tools and techniques, combining them with research into locally gathered museological collections related to the region’s geological history. These technologies and materials will inform and shape the creation of her new sculptural work.
