IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

Christine Borland, Michele Fletcher, Wendy McMurdo 

Patricia Fleming Gallery, Glasgow

‘If Not Now, When?’ Is an invitation to explore the work of three established women artists, Christine Borland, Michele Fletcher and Wendy McMurdo. Together they remind us of the urgency to implement alternative strategies for thinking about and shaping the world around us.

‘If Not Now, When?’ foregrounds the power of art to communicate the unseen. Perhaps things we choose to ignore because we feel they are not for us – or presented in a way that makes them too complex to engage with. The exhibition is a window into the research of each artist and provides a space to reflect on the natural world, new digital tech and the use of AI. The works remind us of the importance of beauty, care, community and love. The exhibition prompts the question: ‘Do we have time to wait on the consequences of not changing course?’ 

A companion text by Catriona McAra has being commissioned on the occasion of the exhibition.
