Sharmanka Kinetic Gallery, Kinetic art gallery in Merchant City, Glasgow, Scotland.
The Sharmanka Kinetic Gallery displays mechanical sculptures made from recycled materials that move in synchronized patterns with light and music accompaniment.
Eduard Bersudsky established this gallery in St Petersburg during 1989, before relocating to Glasgow in 1996 due to changing political circumstances.
The gallery merges mechanical engineering with theatrical elements through performances that address themes of human existence, labor, and societal changes.
Visitors can attend two different performances, each lasting 45 minutes, with the Journey show suitable for children over 4 and Wheels of Life for ages 12+.
Each mechanical sculpture integrates carved figures, industrial parts, and old machinery to create intricate moving compositions that tell specific narratives.
