Rosalind Nashashibi

As a counterpart to the group exhibition Infinite Tuning, Murray Guy presents a solo presentation of Rosalind Nashashibi’s film Lovely Young People, (Beautiful Supple Bodies), 2012.

Made with the Scottish Ballet in their Glasgow studio, the film features the Company dancers in private rehearsal. As the camera scans the mirror-lined walls, revealed are the manners and movements of the dancers as well as the reactions of an invited public audience whose audible comments form a key part of the soundtrack. Nashashibi’s interest lies in these interactions as well as the perception of people outside the world of dance on performance and bodies that they would otherwise only see at a distance.

Lovely Young People, (Beautiful Supple Bodies) was commissioned by Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art and Scottish Ballet.
