Reputations

Public Art Programme

Reputations is a programme of contemporary artworks in the public realm. The project radiates from the neighbourhood of Castlemilk in Glasgow, Scotland and was initiated by the Castlemilk Environment Trust in 2001.

Castlemilk is one of four residential neighbourhoods established on the outskirts of Glasgow in the late 1950s to provide social housing for citizens who were previously housed in slum housing in the city centre. Waves of regeneration have occurred in Castlemilk for over thirty years.

Reputations is a commissions driven project that provides artists with the opportunity to work with the citizens of Castlemilk and respond to the current social and physical changes which are taking place there.

To date, artists Esther Shalev-Gerz and Edwina fitzPatrick have been commissioned to develop art projects over a four year period (2003-2007). Their projects recognise Castlemilk as a place where a self-determined community contributes to play a significant role in managing the physical and social changes of their own neighbourhood.

Reputations is curated by Jason E. Bowman and Rachel Bradley on behalf of the Castlemilk Environment Trust.
