Decision Time was an exhibition with a series of performances, talks and dialogues curated in collaboration with artist, Zoë Irvine, where we invited artists to explore and consider decision-making processes with in the context of the Scottish Referendum on independence.  

 

As time progressed towards the referendum people were increasingly engaged and 

debate abounded.  When striving for objective knowledge to evaluate and base our decisions on, we were confronted with subjective reasoning, hopes and fears.  

 

Decision Time brought together works that explored, often playfully, 

individual processes, reflections and conclusions.  Just like other members of the public, artists researched, expressed their preferences, beliefs, feelings, affiliations, confusions and decisions.

 

The exhibition existed in the week before the historic referendum on 

Scottish independence took place.  

 

The show was not party political, although there were different views 

expressed in some of the works.  Decision Time was a celebration of the process of choosing, the act of deciding and the possible consequences of those choices at that very moment in Scotland.
