Your Space Or Mine

Sgàire Wood

‘A glittering presence in Glasgow’s overlapping club, art and fashion scenes, Irish artist and performer Sgàire Wood is well-known for her maximalist, humorous work combining dance and spoken word with OTT make-up and costume design. With its twisted roots in drag, fashion photography and multi-artform nightlife scenes, Sgàire’s practice is concerned with image-making, pop-cultural symbolism and the dichotomy of authenticity and artifice.’ Claire Biddles writes in her in-coversation with Wood.

BUILDHOLLYWOOD Scotland had the pleasure of inviting Wood to present her work on some of our sites across Edinburgh and Glasgow for our ongoing Your Space Or Mine series. Harking back to the signed celebrity postcards of old Hollywood, the artwork, which was presented across 48 sheets, 16 sheets and 4 sheet takeovers across the cities, played with ideas around the idolation and artifice of fame.
