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:
“If the book is good, is about something that you know, and is truly written, and reading it over you see that this is so, you can let the boys yip and the noise will have that pleasant sound coyotes make on a very cold night when they are out in the snow and you are in your own cabin that you have built or paid for with your work.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“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)
