In Another Realm

The final exhibition of Travelling Gallery’s 2025 programme was 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.

In Another Realm took 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 suggested an imaginary world and landscape, where traces of human existence can be found, but where life is continuing without us.

Throughout 2025, Travelling Gallery  toured exhibitions themed around The Environment & Climate Emergency. For In Another Realm we 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 highlighted 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.

This exhibition foregrounded SPG’s vision to provide new display opportunities for existing artworks. It looked 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.

All of the works that were included in the exhibition are a part of SPG’s Loan Toolkit and are available for loan. 

In Another Realm was accompanied by a number of events hosted by Sculpture Placement Group introducing artists, audiences and communities to their Loan Toolkit. These events took the form of Speed Networking events and took place in a number of venues local to the Travelling Gallery’s tour route including Narture (Ayr), The Stove (Dumfries) and Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop. 

In Another Realm toured between September and November 2025.
