Magazine Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop exhibition of contemporary art ...this SATURDAY, 28th August 2004 from 6pm - 10pm at 25 Hawthornvale, Edinburgh
Magazine On the 28th August 2004, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop (ESW) will launch our new annual contemporary art event Magazine. 20 artists have been invited to create new work considering the entire building together with grounds as potential exhibition spaces. The site has been transformed from an industrial workshop into a unique visual arts venue encompassing traditional 'white-cube' gallery spaces, a projection wall, a large garden setting as well as more discrete 'alternative' spaces. The exhibition will coincide with the Edinburgh Festival, showcasing sculpture in its widest sense as well as building on ESW's reputation for providing a high quality platform and support structure for our artist members. Installations, site-specific interventions, video, wall drawings and stand-alone pieces by emerging artists from throughout the country will represent the current breadth of activity in Scottish contemporary art. Following successful collaborations with the artist-led groups E m e r g e D www.emerged.net <http://www.emerged.net/> Reader and New Strains we will also be working in partnership with Cabin Exchange www.cabinexchange.com <http://www.cabinexchange.com/> a Glasgow based initiative who will be siting two PortaCabins in Edinburgh, one in the ESW courtyard and another in the city centre.
