TateShots met up with the Boyle Family as they installed a new work at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.
The ‘World Series’ began life at a party hosted by Mark Boyle and Joan Hills in 1968, where the guests were invited to throw darts at a large map of the world. Since then, the artists have studied the exact parts of the world where the darts landed, resulting in a range of output including sculptures, films and photographs.
This exhibition, presenting their observations of a spot of coast in the Outer Hebridean island of Barra, is the result of eighteen years’ work and the first of the series to be made in Britain.
