Artist Martin John Callanan, whose work features in IWM North’s latest exhibition, brings a special performance to the museum – featuring a town crier.

Set against the backdrop of Daniel Libeskind’s award-winning building, representing a globe shattered by conflict, expect to be led around the museum while a town crier reads aloud the thought-provoking listings of wars that have occurred during the artist Martin John Callanan’s lifetime. Callanan’s work, Wars During My Lifetime, is a newspaper listing that features in the new exhibition Catalyst: Contemporary Art and War. It is a fascinating – and rapidly expanding – document that makes no comment but brings the list to our attention.

To mark the opening of Scottish artist Katie Paterson’s major presentation as part of NOW at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the artist was joined for an 'in conversation' event by Dr Brian Castriota, Contemporary Art Conservator and Research Fellow, University of Glasgow and Lucy Askew, Chief Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art at the Galleries. 

Together, they discussed how Paterson explores time in her practice, and the different ways her works are made present and absent through time in both the short- and long-term. 

The talk was presented in partnership with NACCA (New Approaches in the Conservation of Contemporary Art).

In Conversation | Katie Paterson, Brian Castriota and Lucy Askew
