My next project! Organising the exhibition at granton:hub.... from the announcement:
granton:hub is pleased to announce that our community is now included in the ‘Coastal Knowledge’ project funded by the RSE Young Academy Scotland and led by Dr Niki Vermeulen (University of Edinburgh) celebrating Scotland’s (prolonged) year of coast and waters. As a coastal community, Granton plays a part in developing diverse forms of knowledge about the coast and experiences that people have living and working on the coast.
The Recycl-Age Art exhibition has been selected as part of this Coastal Knowledge project and will now be included in the Edinburgh Science Festival offering artists a unique opportunity to showcase their work.
The exhibition will take place on the 9th, 10th and 11th of July 2021, subject to COVID restrictions.
Recycl-Age Art is open to painters, printmakers, photographers, textile artists, ceramicists, jewellers, composers, poets, new media artists. We welcome artworks that:
(1) incorporate recycled elements
(2) may entirely be made up of recycled materials
(3) reflect on what recycling means or represents, either figuratively or conceptually. For example, how waste affects our environments; plastic pollution affecting wildlife in marine environments and shorelines; what innovation can offer as a solution to the recycling challenges.
To enter please send an e-mail to artingranton@grantonhub.org and include the artwork’s title, one image, the price and full dimensions by the deadline of 16 May 2021.
