COLLECT + SUPPORT est 2006 Invest in exclusive limited edition artworks by Scottish and international artists and support Horsecross Arts commitment to contemporary art

We initiated COLLECT + SUPPORT to help you start or nurture a collection of contemporary art. You may even choose to help a friend start or grow their collection by giving them an exclusive gift of an artwork. With all the earned income from the limited editions re-invested in the contemporary art programme at Threshold artspace, you can feel good about spending while supporting the professional practice of homegrown and international artists. We launched our first limited edition at our first birthday bash in September 2006 with Susan Collins’ Glenlandia. Ever since when we commission a major new multi-channel video art installation we often work closely with the artists to produce a limited edition print on paper or aluminium exclusive to Horsecross Arts. We proudly acquire one of these rare editions for our museum collection while encouraging the patronage of contemporary art, the direct support of artistic practice and the sustainable re-investment in the exhibitions at Threshold artspace. All editions are signed and numbered by the artists on reverse. The works start from £50 each excluding VAT, postage and framing. For sales enquiries please contact the Box Office or drop me a line at inedkova@horsecross.co.uk. Iliyana Nedkova, Horsecross Arts Creative Director of Contemporary Art

signs of direction (2016) Brian Hartley (Scotland)

£50 each

featuring Solène Weinachter (dance)

Celebrating the cultural legacy of the artistc diva and dance pioneer Margaret Morris (1891-1980), this is a limited edition of ten artist’s photographic prints on museum quality paper (315gsm, acid-free Innova IFA11 smooth cotton matt paper). Struck by the vitality and modernity of Margaret Morris, the visiual artist, reflected even in her own notation for dance, Brian Hatrley approached his passion for dance through drawing, painting and staged photography.

Carved by Light (2015) Agnieszka Kozlowska (Poland/England)

£50 each

A blind-embossed print on handmade paper in a limited edition of ten and two artist’s proofs from the artist’s own photographic reliefs marking the 150th anniversary of the golden age of alpinism. In the summer of 2015 Agnieszka Kozlowska traversed the highest ranges of the Alps carrying heavy large-format camera and light-sensitive materials and climbed to the locations overlooking the 30 major peaks ascended by the British mountaineers in that period (1854-1865). Using a heretofore unexplored photographic technique, for each summit the artist produced a relief in a photopolymer plate exposed directly in-camera for several hours. The Grand Cornier (3962m a.s.l.) selected for the edition, was climbed for the first time by Edward Whymper with guides Christian Almer, Franz Biener and Michel Croz on the16th of June 1865.

The Dusk Water (2015) Alex Boyd (Germany/Scotland)

This work also pays an homage to the Japanese landscape artist Hiroshi Toshida. A print on handmade paper in a limited edition of ten and two artist’s proofs from the artist’s ongoing Dusk Water series. A rare and exclusive edition from an artist who has earned wide critical acclaim for working in remote places.

Pac-Man at Large (2014) Theresa Pickles (Scotland)

£50 each

A limited edition of ten photographic prints on aluminium inspired by the classic video game Pac-Man blending foreboding Scottish landscape with the iconic design of the 1980s game. The landscape belongs to the person who looks at it, said Ralph Waldo Emerson but judging from Pickles’ work, it belongs to those of us who can set free and immerse ourselves in the landscape as if it were a Pac-Man game. Pickles substitutes the classic labyrinth of the Pac-Man game with a bright red Pac-Dot as a reminder that our natural and man-built environment is increasingly ‘infected’ by the ubiquitous presence of digital media.

Labanotation (2009) Katrina McPherson + Simon Fildes (Scotland)

£50 each or £150 for a set of four

A portfolio of four limited edition prints on paper accompanied by a Glossary. Labanotation of the duets between human and rock. Usually deployed to notate dance, labanotation captures movement on the page so that it can be shared in all parts of the world and with future generations. The artists employ this universal dance language with a tongue-in-cheek attitude to further emphasise the performative nature of the rock climbers’ sport. Each print indicates a particular boulder in selected Highland locations and scores the ‘dance routines’ of the individual climbers. Featuring Labanotation scores by Gwen Goodman and transcriptions by Louise Tanoto.

Moth (2009) Su Grierson (Scotland)

£50 each

Limited edition Lambda* print on paper where design reclaims its natural habitat. “For centuries, landscape and nature have been domesticated on the surfaces of textiles, ceramics and furnishings, but here they are re-patriated into a new pattern. This new pattern symbolically abstracts the basic form, but by re-uniting that abstraction with images from the real world it can take on a different set of perceptions.” Su Grierson *Lambda printing is an industrial digital printing process using photographic technigues. Prints can be matt or coated with a protective finish. These prints are guaranteed lightfast.

Acres Wild Triptych (2009) Marek Styczen (Poland/Scotland)

SOLD OUT

A set of three inkjet prints on archival double weight paper mounted on aluminium investigating the toned monochrome working with all available light, stripping the scene to its basics and using no digital manipulation. The triptych features Sound of Raasay (2008), Drumadoon (2008) and Glow, Western Ross (2007). “My aim is to capture the beauty of the natural world and my current passion is the Scottish natural landscape. Since coastal landscape is close to my heart, I feel privileged to be able to work in the part of the world offering some of the most varied and dramatic coastline in the Scottish Highlands.” Marek Styczen

Glenlandia (2006) Susan Collins (England)

£50 each or £150 for a set of four

A portfolio of four limited edition inkjet prints on archival matte paper. The quartet includes 26 May 2006, 05:18am (Spring); 6 July 2006, 18:34pm (Summer); 2 November 2005, 17:58pm (Autumn) and 31 December 2005, 23:02pm (Winter). The four seasons are ‘woven’ pixel-by-pixel using a webcam and specially devised software. Slowing down the webcam transmission to a minimum (one pixel per second) results in the compression of a 24 hour period into a single image: the black band visible in each indicates night. Seasonal variations can be traced through the amount of daylight present in each scene. The subtle interaction between weather, nature and man unfolding by the lakeside of Loch Fascally near Pitlochry.
