FOUNTAINBRIDGE DRUM // Exhibiting here: Kit Martin (@kitmartinphoto ) and Julie Laing (@j_a_laing ). Just on the corner by Gardner's Crescent and the end of the Union Canal! 🌼 Final wee Members' Exhibition post to let you know that the sites are now switching up (as city walls do) so some of the work will have changed and the map on our website is no longer to be relied upon! However! This site will be live until April 20 Our Dundee site will be live until April 27 And we've been sent snaps of new sites on Gorgie Road and up by Haymarket Station 👀 More about these lovely folks: Julie Laing is a Glasgow-based artist and writer. She’s interested in making unfamiliar presentations of everyday/everynight phenomena. Her photography solo show, low-sodium, night frequencies, took place at AGITATE Gallery, Edinburgh in 2024 (you may remember)!! Experimentation is central to Kit Martin's approach. She creates phytograms on microscope film and cyanotypes on discarded slides and explores time and place through site-responsive processes. Cameraless photographs may be made at the seashore or in a pond at night. Teaching and participatory practice are integral to Kit’s work, and collaboration sits at its heart. 🔗 More info on all these guys and all the photographers exhibiting via the link in our bio. 📷 @christinawebber . #Scotland #Photography #Community #Exhibition

Hangin' out with.... Julie Laing! Yes it's us again, sharing our last couple of wonderful people joining us tomorrow at the Hoxton. You may remember Julie's brilliant exhibition with us which opened almost exactly two years ago (!!) 'low sodium, night frequencies'. Julie has been documenting low pressure sodium (LPS) streetlights and their impact on our nightscapes for ten years. Their distinctive yellow-orange glow produces a monochrome effect which often goes unnoticed, and is experienced by some as depressing, even nauseating. Last month our members were treated to a tailored night walk led by Julie - during which we actually witnessed the DEATH of a lamp, completely by chance - which burnt out whilst we were watching! 😯 Anyway, we're huge fans of Julie's beautiful photography and think Edinburgh deserves another chance to nab a print. 📆 TOMORROW Sat 29 November, 12-6PM 📌 The Get Together, Hoxton Hotel Gratefully part of @fairsaturdayscotland , a celebration of culture and community in the wake of today's big money bargains. #Photography #Edinburgh #SupportLivingArtists

Catch the last few hours of 'FOR WANT OF (NOT) MEASURING 11am-3pm Sunday @the_revelator_clydebuilt . It's another belter of a show from @stephenskrynka and @sareypoppins along with @jimhobbsart and @partickadam . It explores the problematic and poetic use of systems and devices for measuring, looking at the futility, absurdity and impossibility of truly knowing the world around us. I have work in it beside great pieces by @patrickadam_jones @ainsleysam @marc.baines @davidbellingham_ @anniecattrell @gair_dunlop @jimhobbsart @sareypoppins Ojon @matthewrich80 @scott____robertson @davidhughsherry @stephenskrynka Thanks to @alandimmick for the photo of me reading from my pamphlet 'the edge of rhizome' by @sheilaredsquirrelpress Hope to see you there at The Barclay Curle Complex, 739 South Street, Glasgow, G14 0BX (right at the back on the left hand side of the car park).

The Revelator Summer Open Exhibition is on today and tomorrow 11-6 and really worth catching. Follow the big yellow crane on South Street. My photo diptych, Underpass, (slide 2), is about The Glasgow Overspill and the journeys made to and from the city by its relocated population. It's sharing the wall of death with 80 wonderful works.

I've had such a great time and learned so much from working with the @offpagevispo visual poetry group. Come along today to @manystudios and see what we've made together. My work, THE OVERSPILL, is about the mid-20th century housing plan to relocate 300,000 Glaswegians over 10 years. It features a mirrorball-globe, photos I took around Denny and a video inspired by the @glasgow_barrowland just around the corner. We're open today (Sun 6th) 12-5 then 12-5 Wed 9th to Sun 13th. Our poetry performance showcase is on Friday 11th (doors open 18:30) with tickets available now on eventbrite and Meet the artists on Sunday 13th from 12:30. Thanks to everyone who's come along so far, to off-page 24's @miriamali for the group shot and Leo Plumb for curating the show and supporting people - many of whom who have never exhibited.
