Tektos

Tektos is the second annual exhibition showcasing the artworks from G20 Artist Collective, a selected group of artists based in G20, Glasgow.

The title of this year’s annual show Tektos has two reference points. The first derived from the Greek term tektōn, which translates to "crafted" or "constructed." It serves as the guiding theme for this year's exhibition, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship and ingenuity that define our local artistic community. The second meaning molten, like the composite material tektite: a natural glass formed from the debris of meteorite impacts. The show melds
together a contrasting range of mediums and continues to celebrate the collaboration of artists.

G20 Artist Collective was established in January 2022 following two years of lockdowns, online shows, and solo studio working. Amazed by the rich and varied quality of practicing creatives based in the G20 location of Glasgow, Connie Liebschner set about making a way
to meet more frequently, share ideas and bring the artist’s work back to the local community.
They meet monthly throughout the year with the numbers of participating artists ranging between 10-18 people. Along with multiple individual shows throughout 2023, G20 artists will be showing together at Alchemy Experiment this September, along with a collaborative project with Maryhill Museum spanning October to January.
