Upcoming at Embassy Gallery | Performance | Stairway to Stardom | Urara Tsuchiya | Sunday 2 Dec | 7-9 pm
[cid:ii_13b477aefed91867]
Performance
Sunday 2nd of Dec
7-9pm
Stairway to Stardom
Evening consisting
of
possibly sexy selection of insect films
Amy's Arthropods (half) hour lecture by Amy Jocelyn
and
Instars and Pupals of Fashion designed by Urara Tsuchiya and Anna Tanner
Music by Nick Packer
The second performance in you've been selected by Urara Tsuchiya
Tsuchiya's practice explores the disconcertion that can be found between the personal and social worlds. Her work includes creating performances, videos, and live events. She often incorporates soft sculptures, costumes, masks, and home cooking. These function as props in an alternate environment that make space for different behavior. She works with the binaries of, for example, animal/human and adult/baby to strange and humorous effect. She is interested in challenging the viewer to negotiate his or her own personal and physical boundaries. For instance, sometimes the audience is not invited to participate; instead they find themselves part of an orchestrated scene. Tsuchiya blurs and removes the neutralizing, distanced aspect of making her work obviously 'art'.
Urara was born and raised in Japan. She completed her BA in fine art at Goldsmiths in 2007, and MFA at The Glasgow School of Art in 2012. She currently lives and works in Glasgow.

This Friday's Talk: Wood & Harrison
Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
> WOOD & HARRISON
>
>
> //// Friday 23rd November
> //// 12:30-14:00
> //// Main Lecture Theatre, E22
>
>
> John Wood and Paul Harrison have been working collaboratively since 1993 producing single screen and installation based video works.
>
> The work investigates the relationship between the human figure and architecture, developed through short form video (20 seconds – 3 minutes) with particular emphasis on actions being formulated and resolved within a given duration.
>
> Each work holds to an internal 'logic', action related to duration. Within this 'logical world' (architectural space, the gallery space, the business office, the laboratory) action is allowed to happen for no logical reason, a tension exists between the environment and its inhabitant, play is encouraged and influences are intentionally mixed – art history, slapstick, Open University instruction, drawing, science…
>
> Often shot against a clear white background the work closely resembles the drawings (or diagrams) from which they are developed.
>
> John Wood and Paul Harrison have had major solo exhibitions at Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; Kunstmuseum Thun, Switzerland; Ikon Gallery, Birmingham; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo. Selected group shows include British Council Touring, China; Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw; Kunsthalle Tallin, Estonia; Whitechapel Gallery, London. Works held in collections include MoMA, New York; Tate, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; The Arts Council Collection, British Council Collection, and the Government Art Collection, UK.

Colquhoun & Hollingsworth - Two Ruins
[http://gallery.mailchimp.com/c8e7c106ec2546d0eb3d4cde0/images/TwoRuinsfinalv1_450.jpg]
Steve Hollingsworth and Jim Colquhoun are Two Ruins, a collaborative investigation at the intersection of performance and sculpture. Hollingsworth and Colquhoun are both interested in those places where the boundaries between disciplines and ideas become blurred and malleable and praxis helps to further corrode these, often arbitrary, distinctions. In this performance the two artists are adrift amongst a scattering of neon tubing with proximity oscillators attached to their chests allowing them to interact with the neon not just physically but sonically. There is more than a hint of the homo-erotic as the they crawl infinitely slowly amongst the tubing, semi-naked and bending close to and straddling the light to bring forth a sonic wail that rises and falls with their movements. The deliberately ponderous movements and the overwhelming soundscape fuse to create a mesmerising mise-en-scéne, a wordless Beckettian shadow play that begins and ends in darkness.

The Temporary Art Repair Shop at ESW
[cid:image001.jpg@01CDBC22.1391E1D0]
Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop opens The Temporary Art Repair Shop
Monday 12th November - Friday 7th December
Artist, Tobias Sternberg will be running The Temporary Art Repair Shop at ESW from Monday 12th November. This is your chance to have an object you own converted into an artwork for free.
Anyone can come in and present Tobias with an object which is broken, faulty, disproportionate, ugly, unsuccessful, or in some way not suitable for its intended purpose. The visitor explains what is wrong with the object, and depending on the work load and the suitability of the object, Tobias can then choose to accept to remake it into an artwork. If so, it is then photographed, a brief account is written detailing its shortcomings, and the visitor receives a receipt as proof of having handed it in.
It is understood that the visitor is giving Tobias the right to do whatever he decides with the object until it is later handed back.
Tobias will use his skills as a sculptor to turn the received objects into sculptures. When, and if, finished, the object is again photographed, and then displayed in the Temporary Art Repair Shop until the closing day on Friday 7th December. There is no guarantee that every accepted object will be turned into art objects because of time restraints, lack of inspiration or whatever other reason.
On the last day all owners are invited to come by and collect their old objects now turned into new sculptures. The service is free. Just show up with your receipt, and if you feel like it, contribute your impressions of your newly acquired artwork.
The month long project is designed to explore new ideas around what it means to make public sculpture, who should pay for art and who can own it, what the worth and value of art is.
