The exhibition opening of Display At Your Own Risk took place at The Lighthouse in Glasgow on 8 June 2016.
The pop-up print version of Display At Your Own Risk was open for one night only and comprised a key part of the exhibition experiment. More than 200 visitors joined us at The Lighthouse to view the exhibition prints in person. A number of exhibition prints were be given away by raffle at the close of the evening.
