Artists Talk: Saturday 17 October, 2-4pm, free..

Img - Dialogues The Omega Workshop

This year’s Dialogues presents, new work by Emily Fogarty and Ewan Sinclair produced under the title “Omega Workshop”. Appropriating the name from the Bloomsbury Group’s design enterprise both artists have plundered consumer culture in search of fragments and motifs to bend to their means. Whether it is the pattern of a curtain in the background of an episode of Smiley’s People, Swatch watches or segments of adverts gleaned from the internet they have adapted these sources into a colour-saturated, 80’s infused paean to domestic design and its glossy products. Although sharing sources their approaches are very different, Ewan Sinclair’s use of contemporary technology contrasting with Emily Fogarty’s more traditional modes of production results in an interesting conflict of craft vs digital.

Venue: Patriothall Gallery, 1D patriothall, off Hamilton Place, Edinburgh EH3 5AY

Following the success of last year’s exhibition at Patriothall with Lyndsay Mann and Ewan Robertson, ESW’s Artistic Programme Committee has decided to develop this opportunity as a series of dialogues between artists who will be selected by the APC.

The juxtaposition of conflicting or complementary artworks will act as a catalyst to spark unexpected, innovative or new developments between the artists broadening the perception and understanding of contemporary sculptural practice.

A fee of £400 is available for both artists, and ESW staff will provide support and practical assistance throughout. The APC comprises artists members: Derek Sutherland and Duncan Robertson (with two additional new members to be elected in July), and is chaired by Assistant Director, Gordon Munro.

MAGAZINE 09: Creative Spaces
Call for Proposals..
Deadline: Monday 25 May 09, 5pm..
Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop is seeking proposals for its annual festival exhibition, MAGAZINE, which runs during August and forms part of the Edinburgh Art Festival.

MAGAZINE ‘09 is the first of a two-part project inspired by the planned development of ESW’s new international centre for contemporary sculpture. This first stage will examine notions of creative space as being formed by the relationships between individuals, objects and activities, an active participant rather than a passive container. The proposals should be a response to 1 of 3 spaces within the building and should somehow alter, subvert or reinterpret the notion of creative space.

“At some point architecture becomes sculpture, and sculpture becomes architecture; at some point they meet….. For instance a wall is an element of architecture. The dimension of that wall is also an element of sculpture” (Isamu Noguchi Architectural Forum Oct. 1948 p74) Each of the successful artists will be given sole access to one of the spaces, and successful applicants will receive a materials budget.

To Apply..
Please send a 500 word proposal of your project, supported by no more than 8 images/film, and a CV to Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop. The deadline for completed proposals is Monday 25 May, 5pm.

Proposals can be sent by e-mail or post: by e-mail to: gordon@edinburghsculpture.org or by post to Gordon Munro, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop, 25 Hawthornvale, Newhaven, Edinburgh EH6 4JT.

For more information, or to register interest, e-mail gordon@edinburghsculpture.org or admin@edinburghsculpture.org or phone 0131 551 4490.

Applicants are welcome to visit ESW and view the available spaces – just phone 0131 551 4490 or e-mail admin@edinburghsculpture.org to arrange a time.

Friday 6 March, from 6pm, at ESW. ESW’s programme of artist talks continues with a talk by Tommy Perman, Simon Kirby and Ziggy Campbell, members of the FOUND Collective, who will be giving a candid presentation of the work to date on their latest project. They are currently working on Cybraphon, an emotional-robotic-band-in-a-box, which will be showcased during the Edinburgh Festival at a new gallery venue. FOUND will talk about the two projects which led them to embark on Cybraphon. The presentation will also feature a short tour of the new FOUND HQ (a ‘parasitic portacabin appendage’ stuck to the side of the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop) where they will demonstrate what they have created so far. www.cybraphon.com
