Karla Black

Black is an artist who has achieved increasing international acclaim and attention in recent years, with the past two years showing a substantial shift in the scale and ambition of her work.

Black has exhibited nationally and internationally, recently with major presentations: for Scotland at the Venice Biennale, and at the Turner Prize exhibition at the Baltic, Gateshead (both 2011).

Her works range from the small scale to the monumental, from delicate suspended paper pieces to giant swathes of cellophane. Black makes process- based sculptural works; at GoMA she uses 16 tonnes of sawdust from pine, maple, yew, teak and oak trees. The site-specific sculptures are often fleeting, with unstable surfaces existing only for the duration of the exhibition.

This exhibition is supported by Gi – Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art.

Please note: At busy times the number of visitors to the Karla Black exhibition will be limited. You may be asked to wait.
