Three conjoined wheelie bins will occupy the Greyfrairs friary throughout Marcia Farquhar's exhibition Mind your Heads.
Nomadically manoeuvring throughout the friary these ominous yet familiar structures will, on designated occasions, be activated by the artist as she conducts a three-way dispute between herselves. As well as hosting the divided self these makeshift pulpits will provide spaces from which three ideologically opposed speakers will move further and closer to each other in space, time and paradoxical speech.
Mistaken Presence is a 12 month curated project that explores the notion of an archive to develop a number of new works that re-look at the histories associated with The Greyfriars building and its original province. Each artist commission responds to an identical brief of uncovering forgotten historical narratives, thus the project both re-looks at the past whilst itself contributing a new layer of history to the site.
