Close up shot of a pair of hands peeling an orange next to two other oranges that are yet to be peeled. They are cradled in a blue plastic grocery bag. The handle of a knife can be seen nearby on the table that everything is resting on. The still is from footage shot on 16mm.
Still from safe keeping, Hannan Jones, 2026.

in the guise of the commonplace brings together new moving-image works by Glasgow-based artist Hannan Jones and Mira Adoumier and Carine Doumit of the Beirut-formed collective The Camelia Committee. Developed in tandem over the last year through conversation and exchange, the exhibition reflects the resonances between their practices.

Moving between Glasgow, Marseille, Beirut and other unsettled landscapes, and working at geographical, temporal and psychic edges, the artists attend to low-level signals — murmurs, vibrations and traces — through which histories leak and circulate.

Hannan Jones traces colonial afterlives through migration, approaching the city as a site of sonic and spatial echoes. The Camelia Committee turn toward prophecy and the collapse of futurity, treating the oracle as an apparatus of listening rather than authority.

As part of the exhibition, the Market Gallery Committee — Emmy Yoneda, Marguerite Carson, Mina Heydari-Waite and Myles Westman — have collaboratively written a text in conversation with the artists’ research, rushes, scripts, images, fragments and works in progress. The publication will be presented alongside the works in the space, and copies will be available to take away in exchange for a donation (of any amount) towards The Sameer Project.

Seven stone columns standing at varying heights can be seen in the distance, behind a grassy hill in the foreground. The footage could have been taken in the early hours of the morning or at dusk. The sky is a very pale powder blue with one tiny, cloud in it.
