Today we planted a beyond repair piano for Annea Lockwood in Gathering Ground’s Community Garden space! 🎹🌱
The piano joins the small selection of pianos since 1969 making up Annea's ‘Piano Garden’ series, where she plants a piano, builds a garden around it and lets it stay.
Stoked to announce that alongside Counterflows Festival in April, we'll be presenting some one-off events in Glasgow.
The 1st of these welcomes 2 legends, Beijing's Yan Jun & Glasgow's Sue Tompkins at Listen Gallery on 4th of March 2026.

A small blast from the past: Sven-Åke at the 1st ever @Counterflows Festival in 2012. Here he is doing his notorious yellow pages work, and with his trio with Axel Dorner and Werner Dafeldecker.
