Exhibition Free to Attend
Generator Projects is thrilled to present the first solo exhibition by site-responsive artist Leah McDonald. Spanning newly commissioned work across Motherwell and Dundee, and unfolding alongside a public programme of events, C’MERE draws on lived experience, labour, and landscape. Working between Motherwell and Glasgow, McDonald produces sculptural and installation-based works that unsettle familiar ground. Probing class and identity, the work unfolds through materially charged, precarious encounters that unsettle assumptions about who space belongs to.

About the exhibition
C’MERE brings together a series of existing works alongside newly commissioned pieces grounded in Motherwell and Dundee. The exhibition invites visitors into the gallery, only to redirect attention outward, prompting reflection on place, surroundings, and who public space belongs to. Activated through sculptural interventions, often in purposely unassumed public arrangements, the works create moments of tension, connection, and reflection. They prompt thought and discussion around class, identity, and space, while also questioning where art, the environment and our permission to engage with it exists.
The wider programme features an artist talk with Leah McDonald, as well as a live invitation to engage with one of McDonald’s site-specific interventions during the run of the exhibition. More coinciding programming to be announced soon.
About the Artists
Leah McDonald is a site-responsive artist working between Motherwell and Glasgow. Working primarily in sculpture and installation, she explores themes of class, identity, and disruption of place.
Through her practice she is committed to diversifying the art world and expanding its accessibility. She uses her work to challenge who art is for and where it belongs, often placing works in transitional spaces and documenting their unpredictable engagements. Drawing inspiration from everyday experiences and the act of making itself, she uses industrial materials to create precarious encounters that invite reflection, resistance, and connection.
Whether occupying a gallery, public site, or transitional space, McDonald’s installations interlace material and the nuanced occupancy of space.
