45th Parallel
24 June - 30 September 2023
Talbot Rice Gallery is delighted to present the first solo presentation of Turner prize winning artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan in Scotland. Sited in TRG’s iconic neo-classical Georgian Gallery, Abu Hamdan’s most recent film installation 45th Parallel - examining political grey areas in international legislature - is located above the University of Edinburgh’s Law School Library.
Shot on location in the only cross-border theatre in the world, the Haskell Free Library and Opera House, is a geopolitical grey zone that bisects the border of Canada and the United States. As borders across the world are increasingly surveilled, policed, and militarised, this municipal building is something of an anomaly.
