Talbot Rice Gallery is delighted to present the first solo presentation of Turner prize winning artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan in Scotland. Sited in TRG’s iconic neo-classical Georgian Gallery, Abu Hamdan’s most recent film installation 45th Parallel – examining political grey areas in international legislature – is located above the University of Edinburgh’s Law School Library.

45th Parallel speaks of the absurd, porous, and contradictory nature of borders, and the laws that govern these grey areas often with lethal effect. It is commissioned by Spike Island, Bristol; the Toronto Biennial; Mercer Union, Toronto; and the Western Front, Vancouver. Produced by LONO Studio and supported by Arts Council England and JustFilms/ Ford Foundation.
