Should S.Myles say Sorry?





Breeder gallery presents ELBABLE,

Scottish artist Scott Myles' second solo exhibition within the gallery. Myles will present a new body of work across two floors of The Breeder.

Myles regularly explores language within his works. ELBABLE is reminiscent of the palindrome "able was I ere I saw elba" attributed to Napoleon who purportedly uttered the works on first sighting the Italian island where he was imprisoned. 




The palindrome usefully underscores the split meaning and doubling that occurs in much of Myles' practice.

Scott Myles was born in Dundee, Scotland in 1975. He lives and works in Glasgow.


-- I always enjoy to visit the Breeder gallery...but I can't say the same for that expedition too.
