Like It Matters is a new show featuring the work of three young Glasgow-based sculptors, all of whom work with everyday materials. Karla Black makes use of Vaseline and eyeshadow and throws plaster powder on the floor, creating a performance as much as an object.

Meanwhile, Mick Peter deploys even more mundane materials. Concrete, gaffer tape, cardboard, porcelain, rubber, foam and polystyrene, they all make an appearance in his creations. Peter makes shapes that seem familiar at first, but then strange, odd, hard to place.

Influenced by cinema and literature, Michael Stumpf creates alphabets out of denim, plastic, aluminium and paper (above) and marries them with posters. He’s attempting to capture a particular moment in a fictional narrative. He wants to tell us what’s going on,

The work of these three sculptors is given a context by some film and video works by artists of an older generation. Vintage pieces by Robert Rauschenberg, Bruce Nauman and Carolee Schneemann also investigate the state of relations between the individual and the object.
