Lab Group
LAB is a community of Glasgow based artists, whose practice embodies an element of liveness. The core group (LAB group) meet twice monthly to primarily engage in an open forum of critical discussion stimulated by the work of group members. LAB is dedicated to building long-term relationships with co-members and creating support structures to ensure development of each artists practice. The group facilitates cross-fertilisation of ideas and practices and the creation of a community of artists who may not have influenced each others work otherwise. We are interested in creating a shared discourse between disciplines and initiating a wider engagement with live art practices.
