Market Gallery, 3 Ross Street, Glasgow (2026)

19/10/2026

As part of Jonnny Walker’s solo exhibition GUIDE, please join us for a performance by, Anya Sirina - this Friday 23rd October at 7.30pm.

The performance grows from Anya’s ongoing interest in temporality - how it is experienced, resisted, revealed, and restructured through the body, materials, sound, and landscape. Drawn to movements that place tension on the body, Anya begins with a simple movement task or gesture, pushing it through repetition, reversal, changes in speed and duration, allowing the action to shift and eventually exhaust itself. Through these actions, Anya makes time physical, expressing how the body transforms, slows, resists and adapts to the passage of time.

** The performance will last around 12 minutes and strobe lighting will be used throughout the performance **

~

The performance will take place in Market Gallery at 13 Ross St, G1 5AR. Market Gallery is wheelchair accessible with accessible and gender neutral toilets, there will be seating available in the performance space. We have access bursaries available to cover travel and childcare – email us to request one at [email protected]. If you have specific questions or requirements related to access please email us.

We are honoured to be a part of Palestine Cinema Days Around the World again this year, and will be screening Mohammad Malas’ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮.

📅 Monday 2nd November, 6-7pm

Shot in 1980-81, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 is composed of interviews with different Palestinian refugees including children, women, elders, and militants from the refugee camps of Sabra, Shatila, Bourj el-Barajneh, Ain al-Hilweh and Rashidieh in Lebanon. In the interviews Mohammad Malas questions them about their dreams at night. The dreams always converge on Palestine: a woman recounts her dreams about winning the war; a fedai of bombardment and martyrdom; and one man tells of a dream where he meets and is ignored by Gulf emirs.

During filming, Malas lived in the camps and conducted interviews with more than 400 people. In 1982 the Sabra and Shatila massacres occurred, taking the lives of several people he interviewed, and he stopped working on the project. He returned to it in 1986 and edited the many hours of footage gathered into this 45 minute documentary, released in 1987.

Doors: 6pm
Screening: 6.15pm
Run time: 45 mins
Language: Arabic with English captions

Born in 1945 in Quneitra, Mohammad Malas is a Syrian writer and director. He is one of the most prominent auteur filmmakers in Syria. He studied philosophy in Damascus University then completed his cinema studies at The Russian State University of Cinematography in Moscow in 1974, where he directed several short films. Among his award winning and internationally acclaimed films are “Dreams of the City” (1984), “The Night” (1992), “The Dream” (1987), “On the Sand”, “Under the Sun” (1998), “Passion” (2005) and “Ladder to Damascus” (2013).

🚨 DEADLINE REMINDER ~ STUDIO PROJECT RESIDENCY OPEN CALL 2026/27

📅 11.59pm Sunday 25th October

There’s still time to apply to our 2026/27 Studio Project Residency! We are offering two residency opportunities to emerging artists based in Glasgow who are in need of a sustained period of reflection, research and making. One of these opportunities is specifically for artists with caregiving responsibilities.

❔We’ve received a few queries about the residency for artists with caregiving responsibilities, so we wanted to clarify that we think caregiving can be self-defined by the artist but it can include (and this list is not exhaustive) artists who are caring for children (biological and non biological), artists who support someone with a disability, artists who care for relatives, friends or chosen family on a regular basis, artists who offer care within a professional capacity, artists who are caregivers to a wider community such as movement organisers, or artists who care for other kin, among many other definitions of caregiving.

🌟 What’s included?

- Access to Market Gallery’s studio space, alongside access to the equipment and resources available at the gallery.
- Mentoring and support provided by Market’s Artist Committee.
- Opportunity to publicly share residency outcomes, reflections or work in progress. We are open to the different forms this may take (the format can be flexibly developed over the course of the residency period and with support from the Market Gallery team.)
- Artist fee £1415
- Residency production budget £700
- Sharing event fee £212
- Sharing event production budget £380

GUIDE
Jonny Walker
23/10/2026 - 22/11/2026

Jonny Walker’s upcoming solo exhibition at Market Gallery explores transmission, relief and latency. Its starting point is the photophone: a device that impresses speech into a beam of sunlight, allowing you to hear shadows and listen to the passage of a cloud across the sun.

GUIDE is a communications system that doesn’t work. It is made up of pairs of things that don’t quite match, with the signal sitting in the offset rather than in either half.

At its centre is a coupled text, which enters the work twice. First, it is encoded into light, obstructed by the bodies of the audience and returned as sound that cannot quite be read. Second, it is broken into an alphabet of symbols and sigils that set the rules for marks made across the surfaces of objects.

These transmissions are carried by decommissioned military, police and emergency lights, recast in glass and mounted on trusses caught halfway between construction and collapse: objects that insist on authority, surveillance and alarm, their function decoupled and ruined.

Opening event: Friday 23rd October
Wed-Sun, 11am-6pm
Live performance with Anya Sirina 7:30pm

We’re delighted to announce that we’ll be working with Glasgow-based artist Jonny Walker on a new solo exhibition opening this autumn.

Jonny works across sculpture, installation and text, with his practice led by writing and material experimentation. His work explores points of permeability between objects, language and the body, and considers what materials produce when assembled: how they act upon one another, form systems, hold together or fail to contain.

Working primarily in materials that transmit, hold, reflect and manipulate light, Jonny constructs arrangements that echo the behaviours of wider infrastructures: communicating, influencing, regulating or threatening to collapse.

We’re looking forward to developing the exhibition with Jonny and sharing more soon!

SLANT | TOURING PROGRAMME

❗️NOTE - DATE CHANGE - TCB SCREENING NOW Sunday 4th Oct

Slant is an artist-run moving image project developed by Market Gallery (Glasgow, Scotland) in collaboration with mouries_collective (Athens), OUTPOST Gallery (Norwich) and TCB Gallery (Naarm).

Market Gallery’s screening selections:

Julia Parks, All Flesh Is Grass, 2023

~ from Outpost’s programme

Lou Hubbard, Hack, 2006
~ from TCB’s programme

Eliana Otta, Powerful Sun, 2025
~ from Mouries Collective’s programme

The project brings together different artist-led ecologies, placing works, methods and questions into conversation across distance. Taking its title from Emily Dickinson’s “Tell all the truth but tell it slant —”, Slant thinks through moving image as an oblique form: one that approaches truth indirectly, through relation, circulation and exchange.

The screening is accompanied by a collaborative publication — part programme, part research document — weaving together notes, references and reflections from each artist-run project.
