Rachel Maclean
Rachel Maclean is an artist based in Glasgow, her work slips inside and outside of history and into imagined futures, creating hyper-glowing, artificially saturated visions that are both nauseatingly positive and cheerfully grotesque. She largely works in green-screen composite video and digital print, often installing this alongside props, costumes and related sculpture.
Recent exhibitions include British Art Show 8 (2015); Ok, You've Had Your Fun at Casino Luxembourg (2015); Please, Sir... at Rowing, London (2014); The Weepers at Comar, Mull (2014); Happy & Glorious at CCA, Glasgow (2014). Recent screenings include Feed Me at Athens and Luxembourg Film Festival (2016); Moving Pictures for British Council and °µÍø³Ô¹Ï (2015-16); and Lolcats at Impakt Festival, Utrecht, The Netherlands (2014).
Maclean was nominated for the °µÍø³Ô¹Ï Jarman Award in 2013 and won Glasgow Film Festival’s Margaret Tait Award in 2013. She represented Scotland in the Venice Biennale in 2017.
