Glenfiddich «Artists in Residence»: art projects 2009

The ninth year in a row, the Glenfiddich Artists in Residence programme has gathered all over the world some talanted modern artists providing them an original setting, space and community to work in.

This year, eight artists — Arabella Campbell from Canada, Blue Firth & Alex Frostfrom UK, MP Landis from US, Anriban Mitra from India, Dathin Mzayiya from South Africa, Jun-Jieh Wang from Taiwan and Qi Xing from China — lived for three months at the distillery creating their masterpieces.

All works will be published on Glenfiddich blog soon. One of them has caught our attention most of all. This is an installation called ‘Floating Noses’ by Alex Frost, UK.
