Autumn 12

We Form Geology - by Ilana Halperin

24th August - 7th December 2012

Ilana Halperin transformed the Travelling Gallery into a miniature hall of gems and minerals, incorporating geological specimens from National Museums Scotland, many of which related to the geographical locations visited on the Travelling Gallery tour. Visitors to the installation were able to discover Cairngorm Quartz, Lewisian Gneiss, Haggis Rock, and Ballachulish Slate alongside geologically inspired films, prints, drawings and sculptures by the artist.

The installation also included a new publication commissioned by the Travelling Gallery and featuring a new story, The Hard Stuff, by Nicola White.

Areas visited by the Travelling Gallery with the We Form Geology exhibition included Aberdeenshire, Western Isles, Highlands, South Ayrshire and Argyll and Bute. You can download the full itinerary and visitor figures at the the bottom of this page.
