Market Gallery

Presentation of research and current moving-image work in development by Leo Robinson followed by a discussion.

Many Studios Event Space

Market Gallery is pleased to present a sharing of Stone Portals, two events unpacking artist Leo Robinson’s current research. Engaging with stone carvings from across three continents, Stone Portals explores questions of ancestry, ritual and belonging, hoping to provide often absent archetypal narratives to those searching for a sense of diasporic understanding. While you are welcome to attend both events, please note that they are ticketed separately. THIS PAGE IS FOR EVENT 2 OF 2. // A presentation and discussion around Leo Robinson's research and current moving-image work in development, which explores a narrative parallel to Robinson's new card game. Incorporating real-world travel and family relations, the work layers symbolic and speculative storytelling with 3D rendering and video game aesthetics to create ‘portals’ between geographical and psychological topographies. The sharing will include a discussion with participants about the test-play experience. This event is open to all. It will take place in Many Studios Event Space at 3 Ross Street and is free but ticketed. The space is wheelchair accessible and equipped with gender-neutral wheelchair-accessible toilets. Travel and childcare bursaries are available, get in touch at market@marketgallery.org to request them. Snack and drinks provided. // Leo Robinson is an artist living and working between London and Glasgow. With the creation of maps, diagrams, games, ritual objects and music, Leo forms speculative networks of symbol, knowledge and ritual. His work often suggests a future or parallel civilization in which these belief systems have been reconstructed from fragments, through acts of hybridity and reappropriation, as a form of healing from the legacies of colonial displacement and erasure.In 2023, Leo completed a research and production residency at G.A.S. founded by Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, supported by Tiwani Contemporary. His work has been exhibited in major institutions such as London Mithraeum, Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff and The Hunterian Art Gallery, Glasgow. ⁠Leo was recently announced as the winner of the Arts Foundation Futures Award in Visual Art for 2025.
