Alan Grieve

My practice as an artist concentrates on Scotland’s renowned tradition of Oral Culture. The contentious nature of our storytelling over the past three hundred years underpins my work. I endeavour through social engagement, to provide catalysts for new narratives. Through various media, I record the storytelling process and the stories themselves. The work I produce represents a trawl through Scots history, from myth, popular culture, local anecdote to outright lies and petty gossip.
