Archives inspire art …

A set of six new artworks directly inspired by the archives of John Grierson and Norman McLaren have gone on display in the University of Stirling’s Pathfoot Building. Positioned opposite the entrance to the J corridor the works were produced by the artists Luke Fowler and Katy Dove. The artists were invited to explore the archives and use material from the collections to inform and inspire new work. These collages are a result of this exploration. To accompany these new works a selection of original artwork from Norman McLaren and photographs from his archive are on display along the J corridor. For further information see:
