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:
“I had crossed de line of which I had so long been dreaming. I was free; but dere was no one to welcome me to de land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land, and my home after all was down in de old cabin quarter, wid de ole folks, and my brudders and sisters. But to dis solemn resolution I came; I was free, and dey should be free also; I would make a home for dem in de North, and de Lord helping me, I would bring dem all dere.”
—Harriet Tubman (c. 1820–1913)
“To coöperate in the highest as well as the lowest sense, means to get our living together. I heard it proposed lately that two young men should travel together over the world, the one without money, earning his means as he went, before the mast and behind the plow, the other carrying a bill of exchange in his pocket. It was easy to see that they could not long be companions or coöperate, since one would not operate at all. They would part at the first interesting crisis in their adventures.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
