A 24-hour stunt is taking place on Sauchiehall Street<\/a> in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

From 1pm on April 11 to 1pm on April 12, the popular city centre street will see different artworks and events – day and night.<\/p>\n

(Image: Molly and Craig, pictured by Gordon Terris) It comes as part of the project, 24 Things To Tell You, which has been created by Craig McCorquodale and Molly Jack.<\/p>\n

The project will showcase different perspectives, memories, and hopes for Sauchiehall Street while the artworks reflect on Sauchiehall Street\u2019s past, present, and future.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the project, Craig said: \u201cMolly and I work in experimental performance and contemporary art. We are interested in placing work in unusual locations. So, rather than asking people into a gallery or theatre, we want to bring the work into a public space.<\/p>\n

\u201cSauchiehall Street is quite an interesting space at the moment because a lot of people feel very disaffected by it. But we are interested in trying to push through that cynicism and offer fragments of something more hopeful or optimistic and encourage people to think again about the street.\u201d<\/p>\n

Craig added: \u201cWe don\u2019t want to make something that was indulging on nostalgia or sentimentality. We want to root it in people\u2019s experiences in this place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Molly said: \u201cWe also want to tell uncovered stories of the street as well as the history of it and the ordinary, everyday people who live and work there. We want to honour it and bring it to light.\u201d<\/p>\n

This will take place at 9pm on Friday.<\/p>\n

Others include footage of old O2 Academy gigs projected\u00a0on the ruins of the building at 10pm on Friday as well as a public procession of ‘flags, unicorns and ribbons’ at 11am on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0project marks the end of McCorquodale and Jack\u2019s six-month artist residency on Sauchiehall Street, where they have engaged with locals through conversations and creative actions.<\/p>\n

It has been\u00a0commissioned by Glasgow Life as part of the Sauchiehall Street: Culture and Heritage<\/a> District and is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund Heritage Places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 24-hour stunt is taking place on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow.
