Cabin Exchange is an artists group started in 2002.
Based in Scotland and closely associated with The Glasgow School of Art in its early years. The collective work as facilitators of events, curating site-specific and site-sympathetic artworks, using storage containers as the platform.
The group has run an annual art event in the streets of Glasgow and Edinburgh .
This week long event has facilitated hundreds of artists to produce work over a five-year period. One notable art work was Shitdisco, an original 2002 project that has evolved into a successful band.
They have been more recently involved in independent projects, notably the Next Wave festival in Australia (see Marcus Westbury, its Artistic Director). Current members of Cabin Exchange are Charlotte Bosanquet, Nick Carlin, Will Foster, Beth Hamer, Stephen Jakub.
Famous quotes containing the words cabin and/or exchange:
“It was a very lonely spirit that looked out from under those shaggy brows and comprehended men without fully communicating with them, as if, in spite of all its genial efforts at comradeship, it dwelt apart, saw its visions of duty where no man looked on.... This strange child of the cabin kept company with invisible things, was born into no intimacy but that its own silently assembling and deploying thoughts.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
