#AgeofOil
This multimedia exhibition will bring a unique perspective to the relationship between art, environment and industry while revealing an alien way of life on board a North Sea oil platform.
Linking closely to themes introduced in the Energise gallery, this exhibition will consider the future of energy in Scotland and the challenges of removing a structure the size of the Eiffel Tower from the middle of the North Sea from the artist’s perspective.
An Age of Oil publication featuring Sue Jane Taylor's works and diary extracts is available to buy from the Museum shop.
Sue Jane Taylor has spent over thirty years recording the lives of workers in the North Sea oil and gas industry. Her work extends to cover the offshore renewable energy industry, where she has followed developments from fabrication to installation. Taylor has exhibited, carried out public commissions and held artist-residencies nationally and internationally. These images are a selection of Sue Jane Taylor's work from projects she has undertaken over the last ten years.
