Art in the ARC

The Research Collection

The artworks located throughout the ARC offer a means to reflect on the vision and mission of the building. Through the collection, we aim to deepen the role that the arts play in our interdisciplinary ethos. Curated by Professor Dominic Patersonwhose selection was guided by the principles of CuriosityConnection, and Courage, the Research Collection features works by a range of local and internationally recognised artists, bringing together – like the ARC itself – deep Glaswegian roots with a global perspective. Through the purposeful artistic collision of styles and practices, our hope is to inspire building residents and visitors to reflect on the richness of the work that takes place in this unique space.
