Jane Brettle: Artist Photographer: Locate; public Bodies Private States

Locate

Public Bodies - Private States
an artists’ Project in association with the Collins Gallery, Glasgow 1993

The artist’s work for Locate was a contribution to a major collaborative project between exhibiting artists and a group of writers, cultural theorists and professional practitioners. The project included an Exhibition, Site Specific Works, a Conference and a publication. Jane Brettle’s work took the form of an installation on the Stirlings’ Library and an installation at the Collins Gallery. These works attempt to collude with our image saturated experience of the city - transcending the private, more cerebral space of the gallery/museum into the public arena, blurring the boundaries between public/private and institution/city as purveyor of experience. Using images and text these works suggest a body shaped by the discourse of the institution.
