Notes
1. The category of “Scottish artists” was understood here to be individuals born, trained and/or living in Scotland. The exhibition was also accompanied by a series of films screened at the Edinburgh Filmhouse.
2. The exceptions were Christine Borland’s SimBaby (2007) and Beagles and Ramsey’s Parallel Incremental Sophistication (Head Lung Dead) (2016), both of which used sound.
3. Such “after-hours” explorations are now relatively common, although this was a first for the Dovecot Studios; notable events in the UK include Light Night (established 2005), the Museums at Night festival (established 2009), and the After Dark project (2014) at Tate Britain.
4. As Jim Drobnick and Jennifer Fisher highlight, even visual artworks are always in some way multi-sensory, “both in production and reception as artists are affected by the worlds they encounter through their bodies both within and without the art studio” (quoted in Straughan Citation2015, 410).
