What’s On In Scotland: Five things to do tonight
EXHIBITION: THE TURNER PRIZE
While Assemble may have won the 2015 Turner Prize for Contemporary Art on Monday, you’ve still got the chance to see the award-winning work of the twelve artists involved at the Tramway in Glasgow.
Aseemble is a London-based collective whose nomination came as a result of their revamping of ten condemned terraced houses in Liverpool into affordable homes. The explorations of “consensus reality” by close runner-up Bonnie Camplin is worth a look-in, as it’s inspired by fields as diverse as physics, philosophy, witchcraft and war.
