Linlithgow Bus Shelter

Linlithgow Bus Shelter

Date: Thursday 8 May - Sunday 21 September

Location: Linlithgow Cross Stop no: 6290LW08

A bus shelter can be a thoughtful place, thinking about the journey ahead, when the bus is coming and beyond. It is a shared space in the world, where a captive audience occurs to experience art. Inspired after Nicola Atkinson recent public art works on three bus shelters in Winchburgh, this work features transparent colourful vinyl and drawings.

There are two significance of this particular bus shelter location, one is that you can see this Linlithgow Bus Shelter from the gallery windows, connecting the interior with exterior, and extending the boundaries of the exhibition. The other one is that this is the site where chloroforms were invented which enable the alleviation of human suffering’ For safe indentation this was housed in blue glass vessels.
