Below Another Sky

In 2012 Scotland’s five professional print studios, based in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, came together to invite 20 nationally and internationally acclaimed artists to take part in Below another sky: a new programme of residencies, research trips and commissions.

All of the artists were commissioned to produce new work in print with the studios and to take full advantage of each organisation’s range of equipment and professional expertise. The residencies and research trips were all self-directed: the artists, when deciding where to travel to or what work to finally produce, were not asked to respond to a predetermined theme, but were instead given the freedom to pursue their own research interests, to use the opportunity to develop new ideas and explore new ways of working.
