Yesterday was our first screen print workshop in some time. It has been a while but the new bigger space means we can get our screens and squeegees out again. Thanks to print supremo Kirstie Burn for all her expert help. We will post up some of the results soon!
Looking forward to block printing with Jennie on Wednesday!

After the talk Jacqueline took time to visit student run EPOCH8 gallery where she discussed her time on the Transmission Gallery committee and shared some great tips on artist run spaces.

REUNIFICATION is a diverse collective of 9 recent graduates (2014/15) from 3 of Scotlandās Art Schools. However this is not the only thing they have in common as
the seeds of the collective were sown when the artists worked side by side in the HND Contemporary Art Practice studios of Edinburgh College Granton.
In their most recent exhibition āETCā¦ā opened last night at Edinburghās G4 Bunker, which is part of the Gayfield Creative Spaces project.
Coming hot on the heels of their successful show at the critically acclaimed Generator Projects space in Dundee this summer the current exhibition presents a variety of contemporary artworks including video, painting, sound work, performance, installation and sculpture which offer an insight into concerns around the passing of time.

In the roughly constructed subterranean spaces of the bunker history is brought forward into the present, challenging the idea of finite timelines. This creates the opportunity for dialogues with an audience, as they are encouraged to deepen their understandings of past cultures and history. New meanings are explored in overlooked materials, be they behaviors, spaces or ephemeral objects, that hold specific importance to their respective times in history and culture.
REUNIFICATION Collective are:
ETCā¦ is open daily until Thursday 10th Sept
