TRACKED

Date: Monday 23rd May - Saturday 2nd July | Venue: The Foyer, Crown St, Aberdeen
Time: 10am - 10pm (Closed Sun & Mon)
Artist: Sarah Matheson

A response to the effects of photography on our sense of reality and on memory. Influenced by travel and the reflective thought induced by the atmosphere of cities and of the fleeting moment, Sarah's work can be seen as a reflection of the inability to fully retain and capture the essence of a moment. It is a subtle observation of photography's failure to do this and our ability to seem to forget this.

BEND + SEE

Date: Tuesday 21st June | Venue: Sculpture Park, Kirkhill Forest, Dyce
Time: 8pm - 10pm
Artist: Sally Moir

Bend + See on a Mid-Summers Night is an event that brings contemporary art forms together to create a site specific cloth piece to be set in the canopies of the trees of Kirkhill Forest, Aberdeen, accompanied by the beautiful, elegant and graceful string music of a quartet. By constantly being enthralled by new methods of presenting her work, Sally has taken it out with the normal white cube context, creating an event that conveys climate and mood using an array of contemporary art forms.

 

 

EXTERNAL MENTAL LANDSCAPE

Date: Wednesday 15th June - Friday 24th June | Venue: Exchequer Row, Aberdeen
Artist: Kevin Jamieson

Kevin Jamieson will visit various locations around the city, take in the urban landscape and then, blindfolded, paint directly onto the plywood boards the image of the landscape in his mind and add details of what that significant area means to him and may mean to others. The practice gives a very instinctual and almost sub-conscious emotion to the art piece and also has an element of performance art to it.
