News From Nowhere
The Changing Room is Stirling's only dedicated gallery for contemporary art. Since opening its doors in 1997, the gallery has become an integral and important part of the growing network of organisations within Scotland and abroad. It provides a link between artists and audience in the area.
The Changing Room shows the best new work by local, national and international contemporary artists. These artists range from the less established to the well known. In a mix of solo and group exhibitions that cover a diverse range of contemporary art practice. Artists that are selected for either solo or group exhibitions are, in most cases, directly invited to exhibit by the gallery. At other times we openly advertise opportunities for exhibitions, and accept proposals from artists and curators.

Preview 12 February 2010, 7 – 9pm. All welcome. The 37 steps is a project undertaken by local artist, Gillian Cooper. Encapsulating the speed of modern living, Cooper took photographs every 37 steps she made during one day. Recording the repetition and banality of everyday life, these images also capture unexpected moments of beauty often lost to us as we race through our existence. These source images have been used to create an installation involving textiles and projection.
Having originally trained as an accountant, Cooper decided to listen to her artistic tendencies and went on to study textiles at Goldsmiths College, London. This work was developed whilst Gillian was craft practitioner in residence at Duncan of Jordanstone, Dundee.
