Details

'Articles of Home' is the first solo exhibition in Glasgow by Birmingham-based artist Asuf Ishaq. His wide range of practice encompasses sculpture, video and sound which unravels personal narratives, emotions, sacrifices and adventure.

Ishaq draws on his experience of migration as a child and the stories of his parents of migration. He unfolds the geographical and cultural dislocation, by revisiting personal archives and reimagining the experience, weaving memories and imagined time, place and relationships. He incorporates land and soil, recognising the symbolic significance as both the beginning and endpoint; a transtemporal portal, an archive of migration. 'Articles of Home' explores Ishaq’s personal journey of becoming, inventing and re-inventing himself, through film and installation. The exhibition is an entanglement of displacement, fragmented narratives and technologies, and a weaving of fiction and non-fiction to unravel and reimagine experience.

Please note the exhibition will be closed on 13 February.
