E m e r g e D, is artist run organisation set up to facilitate contemporary emerging artists working site-specifically and in a context led manner. Operating since April 2002 E m e r g e D has built up a reputation for unusual, stimulating and challenging projects.
reader is a collaborative performance group based in Glasgow, dedicated to the production of new theatre, site specific works and associated projects in digital media, video and installation.
E m e r g e D and reader first met at the Glasgow Youth Hostel when reader invaded the common room as part of [accommodation]. A year and another youth hostel later, the leaves are turning over Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop’s bush lands and reader will be setting up camp, inviting you to come and stay awhile……
”This durational event, underneath the branches, canvases, plastics, clouds and stars is a further development of our ongoing process exploring evolution and worldliness. We are experimenting with what might happen if we were in charge, trying to make things better for all concerned.
This event forms part of an ongoing performance project commissioned by the Tramway in Glasgow. Since March, we have been questioning our evolution and trying to right the multitude of wrongs we see and perpetrate. So far our research has prompted us to; hold ‘A meeting to decide upon the nature of a new planet and its contents’, in a Glasgow café, go camping in the back garden of a Youth Hostel in Edinburgh, and create a sell-out studio performance at Tramway. We have agreed to make a new planet, as the flaws in this one are too many to mention and too great to correct. “
