Tomorrow evening: Please join Sierra Metro  to celebrate the opening of our next exhibition, Jesper Carlsen: Light and Matter (the Copenhagen Interpretation).

For his first UK solo show, Copenhagen artist Jesper Carlsen presents a selection of new and recent video and animation works. Interested in exploring the ways in which we see, these works interrogate notions of perception through explorations of light.

The exhibition preview will be open 7pm-9pm, followed by an afterparty with live music from Luxury Car, 9pm-11pm.

For more information about Luxury Car and their brand new album release, When I Was Good, please visit the band’s website: www.idriveluxurycars.co.uk

Light and Matter (the Copenhagen Interpretation) will run 6 March – 3 April 2011 and is open Saturday – Sunday 12pm – 6pm, or by appointment.

Sierra Metro looks forward to welcoming you to the gallery on Saturday.

Embassy Gallery Presents: New one off performance devised by Alex Hetherington.

Linda Levez Vos Elfriede Skinny Rosemarie Fists Jelinek Comme Antennas Trockel to Fratianne Heaven

To celebrate the end of his solo show ‘Levez Vos Skinny Fists Comme Antennas To Heaven’ at the Embassy we are presenting a new one off performance devised by Alex Hetherington.

Rebecca Green and Chris McCann as Mr. And Mrs. Dempsey
…
A collective response to both his Embassy installation and his recent film – Linda Fratianne – made for the CCA. Using improvisation and a series of spoken set texts it creates a bridge between disparate and abrasive forms that explore conventions of performance, the object, glamour, failure, combat, spectacle, defeat and scripted behaviour.

The Embassy will be open until 7pm on the 31st to give you a final chance to see the show. After the performance we will be heading downstairs to the ROXY Bar for a few Hallowe’en drinks.

This performance is part of the ROXY’s death weekend a celebration of death taking place over the Hallowe’en weekend with various events check www.roxyarthouse.org for details

Telford graduate selected for Embassy graduate exhibition.

Opening this weekend at Embassy Gallery ‘Meat Force’ features selected and specially commissioned work of artists who have graduated from the the four Scottish art colleges. This years exhibition, selected by the Embassy committee, features the work of former student Hayley Mathers. Hayley, who was  featured on this site earlier this year, (see Graduate Profiles ETC…) graduated from the Fine Art dept at Edinburgh’s Telford having studied for 2 years on the HND programme.

“My time at Telford provided me with an excellent background in contemporary art which was invaluable in helping me succeed at art college. As well as meeting a great group of people, the HND course built up my confidence and gave me the skills to develop my practice independently and get the most out of my degree.”

Hayley progressed directly into year 2 of the Fine Art Degree course at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee where she gained a 1st Class Honours Degree.

Meat Force opens this Friday  7pm – 9pm at EMBASSY
