Similar events
View all →About This Event
Ban Lei's new exhibition *Returning Birds* is now on view at Pollok House in Glasgow South Side. The Geneva-based artist has installed three sets of sculpted birds made from bellows and whistles, which hang from the ceiling and are connected by a red thread of fortune. Visitors can interact with the installation to create responsive sounds as the pieces twitter among themselves. Supported by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, the work explores flight paths that cross both space and time.
Geneva-based artist Ban Lei presents a new work featuring three sets of fifty-one sculpted birds made from bellows and whistles in small, medium, and large varieties representing three generations. These installations hang from the ceiling at Pollok House and are connected by a red thread of fortune. Visitors can interact with the pieces to create responsive sounds as the birds twitter together, forming a gentle composition driven by intuitive energy.
The exhibition is supported by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia. It runs on 2 October 2026 at Pollok House, located at 2060 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow South Side G43 1AT, with additional dates on 3 and 4 October 2026.
