Abstract:

This was a solo exhibition at a gallery in Stockholm
"For Scottish artist Sinclair’s second show with Angelika Knapper he explores his/our contemporary relationship with the USA through the idea of the Civic portrait, long fallen from favour but here re-born as the materials for a protest, a demonstration. Located in the gallery but ready at a moments notice to be taken to the streets to help articulate the formless fury of a life with no God. The project was inspired by the seemingly arbitrary fact that Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on the same day, 12 February 1809 while Robert Burns remained Lincolns' favourite poet."
