ways of thinking | Curated by Lateral Lab. British Council & Creative Scotland funded | Project manager: Tim Fitzpatrick | A mapping project threading across Japan. The project will plot people, places and how we connect through experience, geography and environment, capturing the cross currents that have, and can, create new understandings and practices. Cultural exchange is increasingly important in these challenging times and Lateral Lab continues to be fully committed to enabling and supporting the exchange process for individual artists and host organisations; promoting and strengthening the international networks that evolve from them.
Bringing together newly created works made in conjunction with these venues and sites throughout Japan during May - July 2020, the project as a whole will be recorded and published in map form, also available online, designed and accessible for Japanese and English-speaking audiences. The map form publication will be a guide-functional and a means of publicising the project- but also an enduring and beautifully designed document of the project, also available online, designed and accessible for Japanese and English-speaking audiences.

2021
Sixteen Ways of Thinking | Curated by Lateral Lab. British Council & Creative Scotland funded | Project manager: Tim Fitzpatrick
Sixteen Ways of Thinking is a new short film from Lateral Lab. It draws together the reflections, memories and imaginings of 16 artists from around the world and who came together during 2020 in a shared Lateral Lab and British Council project in art spaces across Japan.
The shared exhibition - under the title of ‘ways of thinking’ - was commissioned as part of the Cultural Olympiad and was intended to have run in parallel with the now postponed Olympic Games.
That series of exhibitions, and the difficulties of staging them at all, has given rise to this short film which, in turn, seeks to describe and locate a shared inner peacefulness and clarity of purpose as a very small counterweight to the turbulence of a year in a pandemic.

Lateral Lab enthusiastically and wholeheartedly proposes Correspondence - A new national programme for emerging artists with an international outlook as impelled by human impact on nature in the epoch of climate emergency. The project is inspired by the influential thinking of anthropologist Tim Ingold, particularly by his recent book Correspondences.
Lateral Lab extends its support to emerging artists graduating from all FE institutions in Scotland for the first time
