Chris Macinnes was born in Princeton, New Jersey, USA in 1990. He is currently studying on the BA (Hons) Sculpture and Environmental Art course at Glasgow School of Art. He completed the Leeds College of Art Foundation programme in 2009.

He recently exhibited in Adhoc: Urban Sanctuary, Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow & Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh, 2010; 11/0, Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow, 2010; The Grand Opening, Hotel Gilchrist, Glasgow, 2010; SEA DOGS 111, Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow, 2010; Polarised, Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow, 2010.

Chris Macinnes is interested in ‘people’ or in the singular ‘person’. Recently he has begun working with animals in an allegorical manner (whereas people have the propensity to act to camera, animals do not). Animals have the capacity to reveal aspects of human nature that people often choose not to divulge. In Interim he will show his film installation Breath. The film reflects on our awareness of our own mortality through the fragility of a bird breathing. This reflection is accentuated by the ephemeral nature of the films means of projection.
