An Introduction to cinéconcerts Tue 21 June 5:00 pm Cinéconcerts have become a cultural phenomenon in France, and particularly in the renowned city of Rennes. This simple premise - for which musicians re-edit films and write their own scores to be played live in-front of the film - has yielded an enormous diversity of results, from the thrilling to the humorous. As part of this week of cinéconcerts presentations, master musicians from Rennes discuss the origins and opportunities of this new form of practice. Admission: £5 / £3 Beyond cinéconcerts Thu 23 June 5:00 pm This second talk is an open and informative discussion with some of the expert practitioners from Rennes about the question where next? for cinema and music re-interpretation. Scottish artists working in this field, or interested in this field, are particularly welcomed to join the discussion. Admission: £5 / £3 SPONSORS & PARTNERS The From Silent to Loud's week is sponsored by: Institut français Rennes City Council In partnership with: EIFF Tentracks Forward to a friend Know someone who might be interested in this newsletter?

Interspaces; the new exhibition at Patriothall

www.patriothallgallery.co.uk

INTERSPACES

SunBear Gallery, Patriothall Gallery, Edinburgh
Open: 18th June until 5th July
Preview: 17th June 7-9pm; Annuale event: 26th June 2-5pm
     
SunBear Gallery presents INTERSPACES, a group show of painting, drawing and video by artists whose work re-imagines familiar genres such as landscape, still life and the figure. Each of the exhibiting artists reinvigorates these genres, incorporating their individual fantasies, symbolism and imagination. Process plays an important role in expressing a multi-layered perception, where painted/drawn marks shift between being illusive, representational and abstract. The combination of recognised and imagined, real and unreal, draws ones attention to the existence of a liminal border, or interspace, between external and internal.
 
Featured artists:
 
Ville Kylätasku's paintings depict human forms acting out physiological impulses and their highly charged, painterly execution expresses an angst ridden feeling of self dislocation.
 
Michael Lawton uses paintings as a way of revisiting and rethinking ideas, thoughts and memories. The 'artwork' starts here, with this thinking process. This will often lead onto to the construction of models and still life that he then paints from. His paintings resist an instant understanding but remain accurate enough to make understanding seem possible, tangibly reinterpreting their initial stimuli.
 
Juliette Losq's paintings and drawings reference the notion of 'The Clearing' - where wilderness and chaos oppose civilization and order. The work uses shifts in scale to evoke an uncertain world in which the uncanny can coexist with the mundane, and where the possibility of confronting what has been repressed may generate at once feelings of creeping malevolence or whimsical curiosity.
 
Phoebe Mitchell's paintings are informed by found images of formal gardens and mythological imagery torn from magazines, manuals and family albums. The compulsion to visualize this internal image making is combined with a concern for process, allowing the painting to take its own course.
 
Rory Middleton's experimental film, Lessonlands, featuring a dog, a house and the landscape, was  
filmed on the East Coast of Scotland. It is a journey concerned with mood and atmosphere more than narrative and uses a cinematic language and a painterly quality to tell its tale, while having enough ambiguity to allow the viewer to form their own story.
 
Mimei Thompson's painting shows an awareness of the impossibility of pure nature, exposing a longing for it and a desire, knowingly unattainable, for a direct connection to origin and authenticity. Caves are the subject for the investigation of an internal world, where images function metaphorically and symbolically.

LEITH LATE - Thursday 16th June

LEITH LATE - Thursday 16th June

 LeithLate is a free Leith-based art event happening on Thursday 16th June, co-inciding with the Leith Festival. LeithLate is one huge art opening, with a strong emphasis on visual art and music, but encompassing film, poetry and dance, across 10 venues situated on and around the top half of Leith Walk, most of whom are staying open late in order to participate. LeithLate is spread across 5 art venues and 5 local businesses, with 3 brand new exhibition openings taking place during the course of the event. The event itself runs between 6pm and 8pm, during which time participants are invited to move around the route, partaking in some of Leith's finest creative offerings, and then culminates in the LeithLate afterparty at Pilrig St Pauls Church, lasting from 8pm to 11pm (entrance fee to the afterparty is £4). The Skinny is printing a route map that reflects all participating venues, designed by local artist David Lemm, plus a preview of the event in the June edition of the magazine. LeithLate: 10 venues, 2 hours, 1 afterparty! All the venues taking part in LeithLate, and their corresponding events are as follows:

Whitespace Gallery, 11 Gayfield Square. Whitespace is a new venue in Edinburgh that provides a space for various classes and exhibitions organised by artist Leigh Chorlton.

The Out of the Blue Drill Hall, 36 Dalmeny Street. Out of the Blue provide studio and production space with 73 artists/creative industries in 68 studios, a licensed café and regular artistic events all housed in this converted building. As part of LeithLate, OOTB will be extending their opening hours to 7.30pm to allow entry to their latest exhibition, showcasing the work of artists working from studios at The Out of the Blue Drill Hall and Portobello Powerhouse.

LeithLate is a celebration of Leith's vibrant cultural community. It is hoped that, if successful, LeithLate will become a regular annual event, so please support this project by talking about it in print and to your friends, coming along on the night, and of course, attending the LeithLate afterparty. In the meantime, many thanks to all the great folk who have contributed the realisation of this event, I hope everyone enjoys themselves on the 16th June – see you there!
