Travelling Gallery will tour three exhibitions in 2025, all themed around The Environment & Climate Emergency.

Season One 2025 will be After Glass, an exhibition of new collaborative work by artists Rachel McBrinn and Alison Scott that takes the current de-commissioning of St Andrew’s Botanic Gardens glasshouses as a starting point to critically explore contemporary, historical, and possible future practices of botanical conservation, maintenance, display and re-production. Their approach looks to resist the convention of duplication across botanic gardens, where plants are collected from around the world in an attempt at a comprehensive collection which often lacks a connection to the garden’s local context.

The work produced for this exhibition is being developed from their time as artists in residence at the Botanic Gardens in St Andrews. Working between film and writing their research-led practice, draws on both documentary and poetic language. A new single screen film work will combine archival footage with new writing that will be presented alongside works on paper developed from the glasshouse herbarium.

After Glass will tour to arts venues, community centres, high streets and schools across Scotland including in Angus, Aberdeen, Orkney the Highlands and South Lanarkshire.
