Sunbear Presents: Interspaces

Ville Kylätasku, Michael Lawton, Juliette Losq, Phoebe Mitchell, Rory Middleton, Mimei Thompson

Patriohall Gallery, off Hamilton Place, EH3 5AY

Sunbear present Interspacecs, a group show of painting, drawing and video by artists whose work re-imagines familiar genres such as landscape, still life and the figure. Each of the exhibiting artists reinvigorates these genres, incorporating their individual fantasies, symbolism and imagination. Process plays an important role in expressing a multi-layered perception, where painted/drawn marks shift between being illusive, representational and abstract. The combination of recognised and imagined, real and unreal, draws ones attention to the existence of a liminal border, or interspace, between external and internal.

Ongoing- 5 July, ***Saturday-Sunday, 1300 - 1700*** or by appointment

Total Kunst present 'Black Matter'

Rosie Lesso

Total Kunst, 3 Bristo Place, EH1 1EY

This one day event is a culmination of Rosie Lesso’s month-long exhibition Black Matter, an evolving, monochrome drawing installation exploring difference and repetition through variation in texture and scale. The drawing is a work in progress, expanded into the TK gallery space and developed over 25 days as a response to the site. The cumulative process will be documented in an artist’s publication made available to the public on the final day of the exhibition.

25 June, 1200 - 1800

Collective present 'Trilogy of Dust'

Jesse Jones

Collective Gallery / Debating Hall, Top Floor, Teviot Row House, Bristo Square, EH8 9AJ


Jones' new project seeks to investigate the multiple narratives of feminism as a socially transformative movement and attempts to re-imagine the legacies of feminism and protest. Adapted in part, from Joanna’s Russ’s feminist Sci-Fi novel from 1975, “The Female Man” this new film work attempts to attend to the multiple possible futures we might face, and how through this very act of fictional speculation we may, in turn, open up critiques of our present reality.

Tracing a historical re-apropriation of feminism through Sci-Fi may allow a more ambiguous understanding of it’s legacy, and in turn, allow for new modes of imagining it as a potential live critique of political reality. The project developed through a series of workshops concluding with the production of a new film work with participants. The workshops, which focus on feminist cinema, were held at Edinburgh's Film Guild Cinema at Film house throughout March and centred around the screening and discussion of iconic feminist films including Lizzie Bordan's sci fi epic, Born in Flames 1983 and Pat Murphy's, Maeve 1981.

#GR5 - RMX

Fraser Sim, Jonathan Freemantle, David Lemm, Kevin Harman, Elph, Stuart McMorris, John Maclean Bryden, Robbie Porter, Matthew Swan, Genevieve Ryan

Studio 128, 128 Pitt Street

go reborn invite ten Scotland-based artists to ‘remix’ the landscape paintings of Claudia Massie (ECA, drawing & painting, 2000) in producing work for #GR5-RMX.

Working in line with how modern music releases are passed on to be remixed by a third party, the invited creative is asked to respond to and re-interpret Massie’s original piece. There are no go reborn limitations or guidelines to how this re-action is to be presented. Remixing is nothing new in the art world; artists are heavily influenced through the generations; intellectual property is cunningly massaged down the chain; while, most recently, songs are professionally passed on with the direct requirement of developing upon an original idea. And it's on the latter point that this project is essentially honed.

Preview 1 July, 1800 - 2100
with live remix by Elph

Open 2 July, 1000 - 1800

Closing party 2 July, 2200 – late
Presented by Trouble and Slabs of the Tabernacle
Entry strictly by invite only (available at preview)
