'… For you'
Susan Brind & Jim Harold

Part of 'Bitter Rose …'
Glasgow International 2016

Over a number of years, artists Susan Brind and Jim Harold have been collaborating on an artwork that takes the form of a series of letters that reference events witnessed since the turn of the 20th Century. They are written by an anonymous ‘I’, from different years and various locations, to an anonymous ‘You’, a beloved whose location is unknown. These letters reveal a tender relation reaching across continents.

In this iteration of the work, the texts operate within the space of a site-specific installation designed for Woodlands Library that responds both to the architecture of this Carnegie Library, and to the focus of the Bitter Rose … project.

An afternoon of readings from the letter series by the artists provided an event to accompany the installation.
