Scottish Art

This outdoor work by Nathan Coley proposes, on a scaffolding support six metres high in illuminated text, `There Will Be No Miracles Here?. This originates from a project in which Coley posted a series of public announcements around the town of Stirling. One included these words, taken from a seventeenth-century royal proclamation made in a French town believed to have been the frequent site of miracles. Coley?s practice is based in an interest in public space, and how systems of personal, social, religious and political belief structure our towns and cities, and thereby ourselves.
