Kotryna Ula Kiliulyte’s current exhibition ‘Arctic Swell - a simple melody’ is an installation of still and moving images which seeks to sooth solastalgia.
“This work was born out of a symbiotic state of pregnancy, where porousness of an individual is as evident as it ever gets.”
The work centres around the video work in four chapters. Chapter I DYAD, pans otherworldly Arctic landscapes, accompanied by a voice over. The landscapes, recreated from drone video footage using photogrammetry software, are distorted, skewed, unnatural yet recognisable as “nature”. The dreamlike environment paired with echoing monologue suggests to redefine the binaries of natural and man made; human and non-human.

We are thrilled to present 'Arctic Swell - a simple melody', a new solo exhibition by artist Kotryna Ula Kiliulyte, programmed as part of Glasgow International 2024 (7th – 23rd June) and running at Street Level until the 4th August.
It is an installation of still and moving image, wall-based and suspended objects, which seeks to sooth solastalgia - anxiety stemming from the man-made climate crisis. The project explores the intersections between climate change, nurturing as resistance and the perception of time.
Opening reception Thursday 6th – 6 till 8pm.
A minigraph with an essay by Lucy Jones accompanies the exhibition.

A flashback with The Poster Associates in August 2020 at the time of the first exhibition trail with Simon Murphy appropriately titled 'Govanhill Street Level' which saw a series of 20 portraits in various locations in the neighbourhood, including this one of Alan Tanner, a local artist, at Southside Studios, which comprises of various studio's much used by local artists and craftspeople - one of many hubs in the area. The project was one if not the highlight of the Govanhill International Festival and Carnival that year, when restrictions limited what people could do socially and in public. Thanks to Jim Monaghan for that original call. The exhibition trail worked a treat in connecting various community locations and cafe's, in bringing folk to Govanhill to see it, as well as presenting portraits of people living in the area to the people themselves. in that sense and was a social media hit. The Poster Associates are Billy and Tam Love, who we were first acquainted with in 2014 when they installed many of the billboard and poster works we staged as part of the project Commonwealth Family Album. They have supported us ever since for which we are very grateful for, not least the various sites used to promote Simon's show. Both Billy and Tam are muso's, so its appropriate that Alan's portrait graced their brushes - as an artist Alan did artwork for psychedelic bands such as Procol Harum in the sixties (yes that's right, 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'...).
Only 5 days left to see the exhibition in Street Level Photoworks!

In August of 2021 ‘Govanhill Street Level’ was on show in 20 café and community locations in Govanhill. What that was about was reflecting back to the community the portraits of the people who live there. Whilst that sounds obvious, it is a rarity for this to happen. It was also a segway as well as a bridge between the neighbourhood and the gallery at Street Level itself. Simon understood the nuances of this engagement, and during the window trail he organised a pop-up street exhibition just off Allison Street, one of the main arteries of Govanhill. It involved an Instagram announcement he made giving time and location of the pop-up. It lasted one hour, with Simon putting up around 40 of his images on the wall, with the act of doing so part of the event. It's been part of series of activities challenging the stereotypes of a misrepresented community. The larger celebration of this is that which is on display in our galleries now and until the 28th January, just over one week to go. Don’t miss it, it is an extraordinary presentation...
