Snax (Buccleuch Street), Friday 1st July, 11:11am
Free University of Marchmont (Warrender Park Road), Saturday 2nd July, 11:11am
Join the local indie rock “performance collective” (fka “a band”) Nice Church for breakfast to
discuss (amongst other things):
I) DIY Culture
II) Accelerationism
III) Poptimism
Music will feature, and so can you.
Art Early 1 will take place at 11.11am at Snax (Buccleuch Street) on Friday July 1st, whilst Art
Early 2 will take place at the main campus of the Free University of Marchmont (Warrender
Park Road) at 11.11am on Saturday July 2nd.
The central goal of this is to create a space in which to speak to one another and/or network.
Other goals are to produce wonky relational art, and to eat communally. Following on from the
Situationist Workers Tapes v Nice Church event at the Bargain Spot (RIP), we’re still in search of
common creative spaces in Edinburgh, seeking to eke out an existence on the margins of the
relentless pursuit of transient cool capitalist fashion (also known as the white spaces/black shop
fronts dialectic).
Kcur a.k.a Kieran Curran a.k.a Stanley Tucci a.k.a John Truckasaurus is a general artist
type (writer, musician, performer, lover). His work has been shown at Bargain Spot, the Glasgow
International, Edinburgh Science Festival and Leith Lates. He has a PhD in Cultural Studies, has
writen a book of cultural theory/history (Cynicism in British Post-War Culture) and taught at
Edinburgh University and ECA. He also has a melancholic cat named Charlie Murphy.
