Scotland’s longest-standing artist-run gallery, established in 1983
In Walking on the Moon Diggle will edit, live in the gallery during the exhibition, two printouts of published work using drawing and digital updates, which will then be displayed on the gallery walls. Diggle will also make one or two performative Moon walks at sites in Glasgow (for the duration of the original Apollo 11 Moon walk), using images from this and other media to develop a daily Instagram post of the new narrative work as it evolves.
Diggle will be working alongside, and in artistic dialogue with, John Baldacchino’s exhibition: The Nostalgia of the Present: Sketches of Belonging. Both exhibitions will close with Diggle and Baldacchino taking part in a public symposium hosted by philosopher and Transmission Trustee John Donaldson.
An early adopter of computer graphics and coding in the late 1970s, Diggle has worked for nearly five decades as a multimedia artist and painter. The origin of Diggle’s practice is rooted in an analogue world building upon visceral physical experience of stories formed in a predominantly pre-computer machine age and Diggle’s experiences of being an artist throughout the transition from the space-age to the digital-age.
