Funktion/dysfunktion Kunstzentrum Glasgow: Function/dysfunction Contemporary Art from Glasgow

Since the 1990s, Glasgow has developed a thriving art culture. This publication presents six site-specific installations by Glasgow-based artists Martin Boyce, Claire Barclay, Mary Redmond, Nick Evans, Ciara Phillips and Nicolas Party, who collectively represent the generational span and gender equality characteristic of Glasgow's art scene.

The idea of portraying dynamic centres of contemporary art led to the development of the exhibition Function / Dysfunction. Contemporary Art from Glasgow. It features six artists who live and work in Scotland's largest city, which has emerged as a vibrant and influential art hub in the period since 1990. Organised as part of the /prospekt/ series, the exhibition presents works created specifically for the facade spaces of the Neues Museum. As the installations are visible through the building's curved glass front, they also have a strong impact on the urban surroundings.
