An
acclaimed artist, Sinclair was also a founding member of popular Glaswegian
beat combo The Soup Dragons in the mid 1980. Celebrating the intertwined
relationships of his twin passions of art and music, he has invited over 100
members of the art and music communities to submit an artwork, (irrespective of
which form they are best known for) and to contribute an example of their music
for a digital mix-tape that will be played in the space. Films and videos will
be exhibited reflecting an eclectic mix of pop video, performance and
film-work.
