‘The Way It Was’ by Craigie Harper
Nov 14 – Dec 5, 2026
Kilmarning Heritage Hall presents ‘The Way It Was’, a look back at the Kilmarning of days gone by. This exhibition brings to light a series of black-and-white pictures, sourced from the archive, that offer a snapshot of life in post-war Kilmarning.
‘The Way It Was’ highlights the town’s cultural events, including the annual agricultural show and the Highland Games, as well as its sporting teams: Kilmarning United Football Club and Kilmarning Athletic Shinty Club. Local business figure and owner of the Kilmarning Arms, Stewart Maitland, is depicted, as is William McRobert, the award-winning butcher who was struck on the head by a golf ball.
The exhibition also highlights the local game hunters who kept the surrounding wildlife in check, an ostrich farmer, and the inter-dimensional shapeshifters who made contact with the town during a sustained period of UFO activity.
‘Transient City’ by Andrew Chan
Oct 17th – Nov 7, 2026
Described by Ken Johnson of The New York Times as having a “Red Groomsian comic verve,” Chan captures the humor, chaos, absurdity, and fleeting moments of contemporary urban life. Through drawing and mixed media, everyday characters, objects, and encounters become part of an ever-changing city theatre.
Shopping carts, e-bikes, food trucks, skateboarders, commuters, influencers, couples, and solitary travelers populate his compositions like characters in an ongoing urban theatre. Pulled from the rhythms of daily life and rearranged into unexpected encounters, these familiar images take on new meaning. A shopping cart becomes a vessel for desire and memory; a passing stranger becomes a performer; the daily commute becomes a constantly changing spectacle.
Chan’s layered approach to oil stick, oil paint, charcoal, wax, and acrylic mirrors the experience of the city itself. Images accumulate, disappear, overlap, and re-emerge, creating surfaces that feel simultaneously immediate and fragmented. Humor and satire keep the work light on its feet, while beneath the visual chaos lies a deeper meditation on consumer culture, identity, isolation, nostalgia, and desire.
Ultimately, Transient City is about the strange contradiction of urban existence: being surrounded by millions of lives while constantly experiencing the fleeting nature of our own. Chan reminds us that the city is not simply a place we pass through—it is a place that passes through us.
Transient City runs until Nov 7th.

‘The Place Memory Keeps’ by Yool Kim
Sept 14 – Oct 10, 2026
Kim's paintings are driven by a continual pursuit of images that resonate on a deeply human level. Her figures and landscapes exist between reality and recollection, inviting viewers into intimate moments that feel both familiar and otherworldly. Each composition is imbued with a sense of stillness and emotional depth, revealing a painter committed to creating works that speak as much to the soul as they do to the eye.
While rooted in the timeless traditions of painting, Kim's practice embraces a distinctly contemporary sensibility. She balances classical aesthetics with modern techniques, creating luminous surfaces and nuanced compositions that feel both enduring and unmistakably of the present. In The Place Memory Keeps, she continues to refine this visual language, offering a collection of paintings that linger long after they are seen works that remind us how memory shapes not only the places we have been, but the people we become.
