Tait title

Artist Andrew Black is the twelfth recipient of the £15,000 Margaret Tait Award, Scotland’s most prestigious moving image prize for artists. Andrew has proposed a new work, The Besom, which will draw on local history research practices and experimental production processes to explore strange synchronicities and uncanny presences in a depopulated upland landscape. Inspired by the pioneering Orcadian filmmaker and poet Margaret Tait, the award recognises experimental and innovative artists working with the moving image. It was awarded by Lux Scotland. luxscotland.org.uk
