Mark Sinclair: A Photographic Record of the Construction of the Shetland Museum and ArchivesThe Lighthouse, Scotland's National Architecture and Design Centre, has unveiled an exhibition of photographs by Mark Sinclair, capturing the construction of the new Shetland Museum and Archives.
The series of large-scale, evocative, black and white images - shown in the Long Gallery - capture moments in time as reconstruction developed from 2005 to its completion in 2007.
Mark Sinclair: Art on Site runs at The Lighthouse until 26 October 2008.
In 2005, Shetland-based photographer Mark Sinclair embarked on an "Art on Site" public art project funded by Shetland Amenity Trust to document the restoration of Hay's Dock, (led by Nicolas Groves Raines), and the construction of the Shetland Museum and Archives, (designed by architects BDP), on an adjacent site.
Sinclair's photographs record the construction process of this dynamic new building right up to and immediately following its opening in Summer 2007.
This exhibition presents a selection of the 500+ black and white images taken over the two years that the work was in progress.
