Peter McCaughey

Peter McCaughey is an Irish artist living in Glasgow. He works internationally with a practice focused on the local. He led The Happenstance, Scotland’s lauded contribution to the 2018 Venice Biennale. Peter is Director/Lead Artist of WAVEparticle, an artist-led art organisation that works to produce new processes, events and objects, re-thinking how the places we live in, and the systems that regulate our lives, move to a more cooperative, connective and creative model. He regularly intervenes in his own life; exploring the belief that it is important that artists intervene in the world they live in and don’t just pass comment at a distance. He Lectures at Glasgow School of Art where he keeps the tradition of singing alive.
