Artist Rachel Maclean transforms a vacant shop on Ayr High Street into an immersive installation.

Taking the form of a surreal life sized toy shop where nothing is for sale, this immersive artwork transports audiences into Rachel Maclean’s dark imagination and features her animated film upside mimi ᴉɯᴉɯ uʍop.

The work opens for the launch of JUPITER+ ,Scottish art park Jupiter Artland’s bold new programme supporting young people across Scotland through the exhibition of large scale public art commissions and ambitious creative learning programme across the country.



One of Scotland’s most acclaimed artists, Rachel Maclean’s work is a timely response to the crisis facing many high streets across the country. Occupying a formerly vacant shop on Ayr’s historic high street, at first glance, Maclean’s intervention appears like any other rundown shop, a familiar sight, but on closer exploration, this shop begins to reveal itself as increasingly uncanny and fantastical. An education programme for young people in Ayr coincides - every high school in Ayrshire is being offered the opportunity to participate in green screen workshops and create their own short films inspired by Rachel's.
