About the work:
The octopus is taken from the cover of Prouvost’s book Legsicon, which delves into the philosophical depths of the artist’s practice, through the familiar, if transformed, format of a lexicon, to portray the work of an artist developing complex thought through artistic languages. Deviating from a typical monograph, Legsicon functions as a sort of dictionary, exploring and expanding on thirty-six notions in Prouvost’s work, with each incorporating a commissioned text, new drawings created by the artist and selected documentation of her related works.
About the artist:
Laure Prouvost was born in Antwerpen, France, in 1978, and lives and works between Monaco and Knokke. She makes videos, boobs, sounds and tea cups, objects and installations. A selection of solo projects includes a Pavilion in Venice, a Song for Trespassing in Paris, a Waiting Room with objects in Minneapolis, a New Museum for Grandad in Milano, a tearoom for Grandma in Derry, a karaoke room in Brussels, tea bags, and wet floors.

About the work:
The Bitter Cup is a novelistic response to artist Lil Neilson’s archive of paintings and sketch books left on her death in 1998. Lil Neilson met Joan Eardley in 1960 at Hospitalfield and the two artists worked alongside one another at The Watchie, their studio in Catterline Aberdeenshire, in the early 1960s. Neilson’s work is framed in a fiction, which locates itself in the historical moment that the landscape of Scottish art was radically transformed – through a process that was dubbed ‘the Glasgow Miracle’. The story moves between a fictional coastal village in the East, and a mystical recollection of Glasgow, in the West, in this period. A single image, A Place for 4 Women, a painting by Lil Neilson set against the watchie garden and the sea, interrupts the text and acts as a premonition of the stories that follows. Evie, the main protagonist, is positioned in this shift, articulating the conflicts and antagonisms, desires and sexuality of her own, and the authors’ imaginary. The image is of the work Think Thingamajig (2003) by Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan, photographed by the artists, in the garden outside the watchie, during the Catterline Arts Festival, August 2003.
