SUMMARY:In Another Realm Exhibition with The Travelling Gallery
DESCRIPTION:In Another Realm\, a group exhibition developed in collaboration with Sculpture Placement Group (SPG) and featuring the work of artists Laura Aldridge\, Nick Evans\, Louise Gibson\, Aimee Lax\, Aniara Omann & Daisy Richardson. \n\n\n\nIn Another Realm takes inspiration from science fiction’s engagement with the environment and the genre’s value as a tool for thinking critically about climate change. The selection of works on display in the exhibition suggest an imaginary world and landscape\, where traces of human existence can be found\, but where life is continuing without us. \n\n\n\nThroughout 2025\, Travelling Gallery has been touring exhibitions themed around The Environment & Climate Emergency. For In Another Realm we have worked with Sculpture Placement Group (SPG). SPG develop creative initiatives and tools for artists and the wider arts sector to address the urgent challenges posed by the Climate Emergency. The exhibition highlights their Loan Toolkit\, an initiative that loans artworks to community groups and organisations. The scheme provides an opportunity for artists to extend the life-cycle of artworks\, often languishing in long-term storage and it brings work to new audiences. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition foregrounds SPG’s vision to provide new display opportunities for existing artworks. It looks to playfully exploit the idea of creating an alternate form of existence for them. This world could be beyond the ordinary and could perhaps exist in parallel to or beyond our current physical world.Accessibility InformationWe continue to assure that our gallery meets the social model of disability. This includes pavement level access and/or a ramp for wheelchairs\, push chairs etc. We offer large print format exhibition interpretation. Subtitling and audio descriptions of films are available where appropriate or we can provide a transcript. \n\n\n\nThere is always a member of the Travelling Gallery team present to discuss any accessibility needs and to interpret in whatever way we can. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions regarding access to our gallery please send an email to travellinggallery@edinburgh.gov.uk
