Artwork by Paisley-born Turner prize nominated Anya Gallaccio to be exhibited on artist’s hometown High Street this Autumn

This Autumn for JUPITER+, Jupiter Artland’s nation-wide art and learning programme, Paisley- born Anya Gallaccio will take over an unoccupied shop space, coating the walls with layers of decadent chocolate. The work, on show to the public for the first time in West Scotland, will engage the senses and restage a prolific example of Gallacio’s extraordinary use of materials.

The iconic installation which covers an entire room in dark, beautifully scented chocolate will be viewable at 18 High Street, Paisley. The project coincides with the artist having a major retrospective and a further prestigious commission across the UK also in the coming year. The work will be exhibited in Paisley from 7 September to 31 December.

Stroke’  is part funded by Future Paisley, a cultural regeneration partnership programme, led by Renfrewshire Council, which uses the power of arts, heritage and culture to impact social and economic change.
