Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop is seeking proposals for its annual festival exhibition, MAGAZINE, during August 2009, a part of the Edinburgh Art Festival.
MAGAZINE ā09 is the first of a two-part project inspired by the planned development of ESWās new international centre for contemporary sculpture. This first stage will examine notions of creative space as being formed by the relationships between individuals, objects and activities, an active participant rather than a passive container. The proposals should be a response to 1 of 3 spaces within the building (Education Space, Project Space and Pavilion 1) and should somehow alter, subvert or reinterpret the notion of creative space.
āAt some point architecture becomes sculpture, and sculpture becomes architecture; at some point they meetā¦.. For instance a wall is an element of architecture. The dimension of that wall is also an element of sculptureā (Isamu Noguchi Architectural Forum Oct. 1948 p74)
Applicants are welcome to visit ESW and view the available spaces ā just phone 0131 551 4490 or e-mail admin@edinburghsculpture.org to arrange a time.
Each of the successful artists will be given sole access to one of the spaces, and successful applicants will receive a materials budget.
