COLLECT + SUPPORT

Invest in exclusive limited edition artworks by Scottish and international artists and support Horsecross Arts commitment to contemporary art

FREE collector’s guide

COLLECT + SUPPORT is Horsecross Arts initiative 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 home-grown 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 produce a major new multichannel 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 including special offers please contact the Box Office or drop me a line at inedkova@horsecross.co.uk. Iliyana Nedkova, Horsecross Arts Creative Director (Contemporary Art)

Carved by Light (2015) Agnieszka Kozlowska (UK/Alps)

£50 each

A blind-embossed print on handmade paper in a limited edition of ten and two artist’s proofs from the original photographic reliefs that celebrate the 150th anniversary of the golden age of alpinism. In the summer of 2015 the artist traversed the highest ranges of the Alps carrying heavy large-format camera and light-sensitive materials and climbed to locations overlooking over 30 major peaks ascended by the British mountaineers in that period (1854- 1865). Using a heretofore unexplored photographic technique, for each summit the artist has 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. See the accompanying photographic reliefs under the same title 10. Carved by Light (2015) by Agnieszka Kozlowska showing as part of Mountains.

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

£50 each

With its distinctive peak, Cir Mhor is best known as the Scottish Matternhorn and one of the finest mountains on the Isle of Arran. 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. See the accompanying large-scale photograph under the same title 12. The Dusk Water (2015) by Alex Boyd acquired for the Horsecross Arts collection of contemporary art showing as part of Mountains .

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 each of the four highland locations and scores the ‘dance routines’ of the individual climbers. The specially commissioned Labanotation in these prints was scored by Gwen Goodman and transcribed by Louise Tanoto. See the accompanying single-channel video art installation 18. Crux (2009) by Katrina McPherson + Simon Fildes showing as part of Mountains.
