Cait Heaney’s curatorial practice began at Vane gallery in Newcastle in 2017. Her ongoing curatorial focus and subsequent exhibition series, 14 Glasgow, was formed during studies of MLitt Curatorial Practice at The Glasgow School of Art in 2021.
The series constructs a space in which to hold and discuss concepts of the home within contemporary art, the house as a symbol of the self and to contemplate the subsequent impact of dereliction on the psyche. 14 Glasgow is informed by archival research of the temporality and place- making within pavilion structures created for the 1911 Scottish National Exhibition and the postcard as ephemera- tangible correspondence between homes.
Cait Heaney currently works at historic house museums for the National Trust of Scotland, with previous and ongoing roles at The Glasgow School of Art Exhibitions, The Glasgow Art Club and Glasgow International.
