Lift Access
[http://img2.ymlp344.net/2x21_theliftylads.jpg]
The old goods lift at 100 Eastvale Place has been lovingly restored over the last few months giving easy access to all three upper levels. Resident artists and clients of the photography studio and venue can now drive into the building and load all equipment directly into the lift avoiding the painful ascend of the front stairwell. This also means that the entire buiding is now accesible to disabled artists and audience members.

Island - Bobby Niven
[http://img2.ymlp344.net/2x21_BobbyNivenIslandwebfinal.jpg]
Exhibition Preview July 20, 19.00 - 21.00
Exhibition Open July 21 - Aug 11
Preview After Party 21.00 - 02.00
In the shadow of the magnificent steel structured Forth Rail Bridge lies an uninhabited rocky islet named Inchgarvie. Once providing isolated refuge for syphilis victims, later a prison and quarantine for plague victims and during the First and Second World Wars fending off air and submarine attacks, the island is today the ruinous concrete home to colonies of seabirds. Fulmars, herons and cormorants migrate to nest here over the summer, their wheeling, diving, squawking and excreting of guano prohibit human access through a fierce occupation of the land.
Bobby Niven's ISLAND project takes this landmark and expands its cultural location by utilising prop, moving image, artefact and sculpture in order to build a narrative that stretches the time and landscape of the film. It peels away a history of psychic layers and employs the island's entropic materiality as a means to transport the viewer through a bodily experience.
The exhibition consists of three parts: the film, the grey room filled with quiet monumental sculptures and the orange room screeching with inert birdlike depictions.
Similar renderings were sculpted in Niven's studio and transported to the island where he installed them, like offerings, in exchange for making his film. He returned with flotsam, jetsam, bird bones and objects washed ashore from the busy shipping lane and the Sisyphean task of repainting the bridge.
