Jasleen Kaur’s Wind-Driven Art on the Clyde | Glasgow News
Description
Turner Prize winner Jasleen Kaur has unveiled Superstructure, a wind-responsive art installation along Glasgow’s River Clyde, featuring eight sculptures topped with gold aluminum phrases that challenge viewers to rethink belonging, identity, and public space. Rooted in her Scottish Sikh heritage and deep ties to the Clyde, the piece is part of the Glasgow 2026 Festival, designed to transform the city into a cultural hub during the Commonwealth Games. Kaur’s work invites residents to reflect on their relationship with the river and the city, using art as a catalyst for community connection. After the festival, she’s gifted the sculptures to Glasgow, ensuring they remain accessible and integrated into public life. Collaborating with architect Jude Barber, Kaur and Barber envision this as a spark for more public art along the Clyde, celebrating the river’s enduring role in Glasgow’s identity.
