An exhibition of works by internationally renowned filmmaker, artist, stage designer and diarist Derek Jarman, shown alongside commissioned responses from contemporary artists.
Digging in Another Time: Derek Jarman’s Modern Nature is inspired by Jarman’s diary entries from 1989 which detail his performance-installation at Glasgow’s Third Eye Centre, his planting of his acclaimed garden at Prospect Cottage, Dungeness and his work on the film The Garden.
Alongside works by Jarman, the exhibition features the work of six contemporary artists: Andrew Black, Luke Fowler, Jade de Montserrat, Tom Walker, Matthew Arthur Williams and Sarah Wood. Funding from Creative Scotland has enabled the commissioning of newly created works which will make connections to Jarman’s work through radical readings of landscape and place, inspirational experiment with mediums, importance and contribution to queer history.
