Scotland’s longest-standing artist-run gallery, established in 1983
Tue 20 Oct - Fri 23 Oct
In Nostalgia of the Present: Sketches of Belonging, Baldacchino presents a loop of projected images from his published work alongside sketches on paper. Through the images, text, and speech Baldacchino explores ungrounding, unlearning, indirectness, and autonomy.
Baldacchino will be working alongside, and in artistic dialogue with, Jeremy Diggle’s exhibition: Walking on the Moon. Both exhibitions will close with Baldacchino and Diggle taking part in a public symposium hosted by philosopher and Transmission Trustee John Donaldson.
A specialist in art, philosophy, and education, Baldacchino is Professor of Art and Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and has held positions in universities in Scotland and England. Baldacchino has authored nearly twenty books, including Easels of Utiopia (1998/2018), Avant Nostalgia (with Jeremy Diggle, 2001), Makings of the Sea (2010), Art’s Way Out (Sense, 2012), Art as Unlearning (2018), Lessons of Belonging (Brill, 2023), and Hope in Groundlessness (forthcoming 2026).
