Claire Barclay @ Tramway (Glasgow)

Claire Barclay’s work is always partly created in-situ, and in this case, responds to the raw industrial aesthetic of Tramway’s exhibition space.  Her installation ‘Yield Point’ addresses relationships between the human body and the industrial workplace, in particular, the physical states of strength and vulnerability that underlie human engagement with skilled manual work.  Large sculptural forms, suggestive of processes of manufacture, inhabit the gallery like odd factory remnants.
