Fiona Robertson – SALTHOUSE In-Conversation & Exhibition Reception
Tuesday 27 February 2024
The new exhibition showcases SALTHOUSE, a new film by Fiona Robertson alongside a selection of new film photographs, costumes, and props taken from a selection of Fiona’s previous film work of the past fourteen years. The exhibition is on show in the Reid Ground Floor Corridor from 8th – 28th February.
To mark the close of the exhibition we are pleased to be hosting a special in-conversation with the artist and Carl Lavery (Professor of Theatre and Performance at the University of Glasgow) at 5pm in the Reid Auditorium. Laurie Figgis will introduce this event, which will be accompanied by a screening of the film SALTHOUSE and followed by an exhibition reception upstairs in the Reid Ground Floor Corridor from 5.45pm – 7pm.

Her most recent exhibition of drawings, sculpture, and film entitled tit-bits was held in Southblock, Glasgow in 2023. Fiona’s films have premiered in international competitions such as Oberhausen Short Film Festival and Go-Short. She regularly collaborates with, and is commissioned by performance and theatre makers.
Carl Lavery is Professor of Theatre and Performance at the University of Glasgow. He has published widely on performance art, dance, audio walks, photography and poetry. He is an expert in avant-garde French theatre and has published books on Jean Genet and Antonin Artaud. His latest book Getting a Taste for Landscape explores how performance can produce a new belief in the world, a desire to bring things closer, the creation of attachments.
