In our 40th year, Collective is delighted to welcome back renowned Scottish artist, and early committee member Moyna Flannigan to present an exhibition of new work.
Flannigan has become known for her paintings that focus on women. Her inspiration is drawn from myth, art history and pop culture, creating work which interweaves visual memories and experiences.
Since her presentation of Tear at part of NOW (2018-19) at the National Galleries of Scotland (NGS), Flannigan has pursued her investigation into the materials and methods of collage.
Created in response to the unique context and architecture of our City Dome gallery, Space Shuffle will feature figurative collages, alongside a constellation of paper sculptures that extend the principles of collage into three dimensional form and space.
Our interpretation text can be found here: written | audio
Space Shuffle will run from Friday 28 June – Sunday 15 September 2024, and will also be part of Edinburgh Art Festival (EAF)’s 20th birthday programme, taking place from 9 – 25 August 2024.
Media partner: The Skinny.

The Nelken Line
Join us for Edinburgh’s first performance of Pina Bausch’s The Nelken Line on Saturday 17 August.
Artist Moyna Flannigan and artist and choreographer Janice Parker have joined forces to devise a special iteration of The Pina Bausch Foundation’s world-wide participatory project. Inspired by Moyna’s exhibition Space Shuffle, and her long-standing fascination with the work of Pina Bausch, the performance will take place amongst the historic monuments and panoramic city views of Calton Hill.
