Love Is The Highest Economy
An extraordinary artwork on the façade of the building that functions both as alternative Christmas lights and urgent reminders of the climate crisis.
LOVE IS THE HIGHEST ECONOMY OF LIFE is a series of low voltage LED, illuminated text sculptures, originally installed by Still/Moving at different locations around Glasgow for the duration of the recent COP26 conference. The works were made with various community groups around the country during 2021, as well as indigenous representatives and leaders, and with delegates at COP itself. Here, they are presented together for the first time as a message of hope and caution at a time of year when ideas of peace, goodwill and love come into tension with conspicuous consumption and excess.
