24 Things to Tell You  is a 24 hour durational artwork, unfolding continually in public space across one day.

Each hour of the day, including all the way through the night, a new artwork is presented in a new site across the city – with unusual interventions happening one after another in a range of places. Made in collaboration with 24 different individuals or communities in that place, the work seeks to present a fleeting portrait of the city, with 24 statements appearing in unusual locations and asking passers-by to think twice about their neighbourhood.

Breaking through anonymity in the city, for 24 hours all kinds of people rally together to help turn their town into a kind of gallery. Big statements, lost memories, personal confessions or future visions for this place are all made public.

This work is available for touring and would be entirely re-made in each new place over a 2 week period.

“Normally, the mere mention of installations and re-imaginings and the curating of experiences will send me running in the opposite direction from a terrain often occupied by talentless, preachy chancers. But this is real and uplifting. And besides, having often lamented Sauchiehall Street’s steep decline in recent years, it just feels good to see something joyful and uplifting happening here.” — Kevin McKenna, writing for The Herald (April 2025)
