This paper examines the conflict within a large organisation, the power play between individuals and institutions and the tensions that arise when their values are challenged. By exploring the public controversy surrounding specific elements of Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art's (GoMA's) social justice programme sh[OUT] in 2009, I unpack the performance of internal conflicts as set about by artists, communities and institutions as activists. By analysing the sense of internal conflict, I will explore its value and how it can be productive. Revisiting the sh[OUT] programme after a period of two years is not only challenging to those involved, tests memories and truth, but also offers perspective and the opportunity to reconsider what has been learnt by the institution and individuals involved. I conclude with theoretical arguments about why conflict can be important and, in particular, what it can contribute to future practice
