- Residency period: Winter 2025
- Individual Residency
George Finlay Ramsay is based in Glasgow, and works with performance, poetry, analogue filmmaking and the love of volcanoes. His first artistic acts occurred at the age of three, and involved inventing a religion with sticks, and setting his room on fire. The details are hazy, the documentation poor. Subsequent acts include burning hundreds of regrets in volcanoes (2017–2018). Ramsay is currently making films that are part documentary, part myth as well as making plans to burn his own body in a volcano after death.
