Hot in the City was part of the Melbourne Scotland Cultural Exchange Project, a programme that encompassed a series of projects involving contemporary art institutions, curators and artists in Melbourne and Scotland. Exhibition and studio exchange projects were presented in Melbourne in 1998 with a further series of exhibition and studio exchange projects presented in Glasgow and in Edinburgh.

Collective collaborated with Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces, Melbourne, Australia.

Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces was founded in 1983 as a non-profit contemporary art complex of gallery spaces and studio facilities. The organisation provides professional support to artists in the early stages of their careers through exhibition, studio and associated cultural exchange and public programmes that address the relationship between contemporary art practices and current critical debate.
