Youwarkee

The exhibition A Slip of Certain Measure brings together the works of Glasgow based artists Lydia Davies, Eva Richardson McCrea, Dominique Rivard and Paige Silverman through the mediums of sculpture, sound, photography, drawing and moving image.

The title of the exhibition draws on an obsolete Scottish use of the word ‘myth’, meaning ‘to show, to mark, to notice, or to measure’. The works in this exhibition engage with this slippage in the meaning and use of ‘myth’ as observation and markmarking and ‘myth’ as a form of narrative, fiction or plot.

In A Slip of Certain Measure archeological digs, rat kings, fragmented limbs and the figure of Youwarkee are brought together in an exhibition of works that engage with this shifting and slippage of meaning. A Slip of Certain Measure does not only refer to an incremental measurement of space or an organized amount of time but also questions the reality of perception and forms of knowledge production.
