An exhibition inspired by a Lothar Baumgarten work called Unsettled Objects. Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, 1968-69, in which the German artist combined contemporary art with social critique.

Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art (Goma) bought the work last year, with advice from its partner The Common Guild, using money from the Art Fund International (AFI) scheme.

The exhibition will feature a range of artworks that will address social and political issues such as miscarriages of justice and human rights abuses. Artists features include Eve Arnold, Richard Hamilton, Ian Hamilton Finlay and Emily Jacir.
