Opportunity : High Street Window Performance: Easter Weekend
Looking for volunteers to take part in a one-day Live Art Performance in a window front on the Royal Mile on Saturday 23rd April.
The performance will be documented and featured on the shop website and it should attract a good amount of press interest, as well as interest from the public with it being a busy bank holiday.
It will take place between 10-4 (although this will be organised in shifts).
The performance will involve knitting, in the window space with 1-2 other performers for about an hour, in a neutral body suit (or simple flesh-toned clothes if preferred).
Only very basic knitting knowledge required!
After the performance, the knitted sections will be used to create a sculptural installation in the window space.
Please contact Emily on 07704 279623 - text is best please! Sorry, can't get receive voicemail.

SECOND NATURE opens April 22nd, 7-9 PM

The exhibition “Second Nature” opens April 22nd, 7-9 pm at Patriothall Gallery: 1D Patriothall, off Hamilton Place, in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. The show runs Tues- Sun. 12-5 pm April 23-30th.
Second Nature investigates the concept of human dominion over the natural environment. Leffler questions the natural and artificial through appropriation, alteration and manipulation of digital images, recalling the worlds of advertising and science fiction. Through this process she renders situations that examine our perception of and role within the natural world.

BEACH BREAK LIVE – UK STUDENT FESTIVAL – LOOKING FOR INSTALLATIONS.
Hi there,
My Name is Jess Wood and I work for Beach Break Live, the UK student festival. The festival takes place In Pembrey Country Park, south Wales, and this year 20,000 students will join us for 4 days and 4 nights of fun and frolics, from the 16th until the 20th of June. As part of our preparations for the festival, we are looking for budding artists to produce installations to make our beautiful festival even more beautiful. The theme of our fifth year spectacular is ‘Into the Wild’ and we are looking for anything wild, wacky or even downright silly to adorn the festival site. The installations can be interactive or just aesthetic, and we will cover costs of materials (which must be pre agreed) and provide a free ticket for those who produce installations for us, so they can join in the fun! I was wondering if you could pass the message on to your students? It is a great opportunity for them to get involved with a large scale event and bring their ideas to life and showcase their work, all whilst having a great time. There are also opportunities to get involved with the set up of the festival and other decor on site. All they need to do is contact me on
Jess@beachbreaklive.com expressing their interest or letting me know their ideas. If students would like to get a feel for the festival and what we do, they can visit
www.beachbreaklive.com.
Many thanks, and hope to hear from you soon.

Elements II
Photography Exhibition
18-21st April
Opening night- Monday 18th, 7-9pm
The second installment of images centred around the idea of Elemental Investigations. The work depicts the individual interpretation that each student has regarding elements, this ranges from phyisical attraction in ferromagnetic materials, layered reflection of the body image. To abstractions of artificial light as a way contestation to its invisibility, landscapes illuminated from the reflection of regolith to technologies and the relationship we have with social objects.
