Biography
Scott Kilgour (b. Glasgow, Scotland, UK 1960) attended the Glasgow School of Art (1977-81). He was encouraged by the first curator of 20th century art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Henry Geldzahler, to move to city in the early 1980's. He exhibited his continuous line drawing and knot-work designs there at 56 Bleecker Street Gallery, DIA Foundation and Holly Solomon Gallery. Kilgour also exhibited at the Mackintosh Museum, Glasgow School of Art, as part of the Glasgow UK City for Architecture & Design celebration (1990). His graphic work has extended to sculpture, such as the stainless steel structures in collaboration with Durham Press Inc. (1994, 1995 & 2004) and landscape such as the Double Knot Garden commission in Wiltshire, England (2016). Trash Trilogy (2000) evaluated rubbish as an extension of ourselves and the values and the relationships we assign to its existence.
