<br>The Hannah Arendt Prize in Critical Theory and Creative Research is an annual competition for those interested in the juncture of art and creative research and in the principles at the heart of the arts and humanities, including sense-based intelligence; the reality of singular, nonrepeatable phenomena; ethical vision; and consilience between inner and outer, nature and reason, thought and experience, subject and object, self and world.
<br>
<br>Application for the prize is open to the general public.

<br>
<br>Explication of theme:
<br>
<br>To disobey in order to take action is the byword of all creative spirits. The history of human progress amounts to a series of Promethean acts. But autonomy is also attained in the daily workings of individual lives by means of many small Promethean disobediences, at once clever, well thought out, and patiently pursued, so subtle at times as to avoid punishment entirely. All that remains in such a case is an equivocal, diluted form of guilt. I would say that there is good reason to study the dynamics of disobedience, the spark behind all knowledge.
<br>
<br>--Gaston Bachelard, Fragments of a Poetics of Fire
<br>
<br>Intervention is an omnipresent if not ubiquitous word in contemporary discourse, but what forms does it take in the age of genetic engineering and real-time media? Is the concept a decoy or distraction in the face of futility? A cover or compensation for hopeless battles and set-ups? Is it simply working to slow down the Inevitable, a notion that in and of itself works as a major obstacle to critical thought and action? Or is it something more serious, more durable, and more dangerous? What is the relation of critique and intervention, theory and practice? And what role does art play in what Bachelard called "creative disobedience," acts of Prometheanism "so subtle at times as to avoid punishment entirely"? Might art now comprise one of the last forms of political stealth, working in increasingly sophisticated time-based ways? What kinds of thought and action are powerful and compelling interventions today, whether one-off spectacles, sabots, monkey wrenches, sleepers, gummy bears, or Trojan Horses?

How will we create that future? How do we manifest our own utopia in relationship to other people's idea of the future? Is it all so uncertain? Or can we create our own providence?</p><p> Using Zoe Beloff's theatrical interventions at last year's Occupy protests and Augusto Boal's Theatre of the Oppressed as starting points, this workshop led by artist Anthony Schrag includes discussions, talks and performances, exploring current debates of an independent Scotland.

<br>The third performance in 'you've been selected' by Urara Tsuchiya.
<br>
<br>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'.
<br>
<br>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.

<br>Walking The Landscape
<br>
<br>Walking Off The Grid and The History of Walking talks by Michael Höpfner and Professor Tim Ingold
<br>
<br>Michael Höpfner, a walking artist from Austria, has been walking in many places around the world. For this project, Walking off The Grid, he is spending 14 days circling Huntly on a 30 mile route around the Strathbogie area. His walk takes him through Gartly, Glass, Drumblade, Drumdelgie, Cairnie, Rothiemay, Kinnoir and the surrounding countryside. During this time he is reconstructing the geography of the landscape through the conversations, meetings and experiences along the way.
<br>
<br>Michael finishes his walk this weekend and will be presenting the outcome of his project along with images and videos on Sunday 9 December, 4.30pm at the Huntly Hotel.
<br>
<br>He will be joined by Professor Tim Ingold from the Anthropology department at Aberdeen University who will be giving a talk on the History of Walking.

<br>The second performance in you've been selected by Urara Tsuchiya
<br>
<br>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.

<br>> WOOD & HARRISON

<br>>
<br>> John Wood and Paul Harrison have been working collaboratively since 1993 producing single screen and installation based video works.
<br>>
<br>> 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.
<br>>
<br>> 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…
<br>>
<br>> Often shot against a clear white background the work closely resembles the drawings (or diagrams) from which they are developed.
<br>>
<br>> 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.

<br>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'.
<br>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.

<br>
<br>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.

<br>
<br>Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop opens The Temporary Art Repair Shop
<br>
<br>Monday 12th November - Friday 7th December
<br>
<br>
<br>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.
<br>
<br>
<br>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.
<br>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.
<br>
<br>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.
<br>
<br>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.
<br>
<br>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.

<br>
<br>Fischer's important and disturbing installation reminds us of how fragile that freedom can be."
<br>
<br>Joyce McMillan
<br>
<br>Kai Fischer's powerful performance and installation piece inspired by the 1937 Exhibition of Degenerate Art will be presented in the atmospheric setting of the Old Ambulance Depot in Brunswick Street, Edinburgh from Wednesday 7 – Saturday 10 November 2012<x-apple-data-detectors://8> in a partnership with the Traverse Theatre. The installation will be open daily from 11am<x-apple-data-detectors://9> with performances by actors Pauline Goldsmith and Pauline Lockhart in the afternoon and evenings.
<br>
<br>Entartet reflects on the infamous 'Degenerate Art' exhibition, a "name and shame" exhibition showing the works of modern artists that was staged by the German government. The pieces on display had been raided from public galleries and were now used to ridicule the different Modern Art movements, which the Nazi regime deemed 'degenerate'. Soon after the exhibition many of the included artists and their colleagues were no longer allowed to exhibit, to work, or even to paint at all. Publicly ridiculed and with their careers and livelihoods destroyed, many were forced to emigrate or went into inner emigration.
<br>
<br>Entartet uses the original text of the exhibition's guidebook to create an audio guide and to evoke a moment in history. Part installation, part performance it creates an environment in which to experience both this infamous event and the world in which it existed. Lifting the lid on an exceptional piece of propaganda, Entartet explores a very dark side of populism which is as relevant today as it was 75 years ago.
<br>
<br>Tickets for the performance element of Entartet are free, and can be booked in advance by calling Traverse Box Office (0131 228 1404<tel:0131%20228%201404>). Also available on the door but please be aware there is limited capacity.
