"Habitat" by Mirja Koponen 29 September-12 October

Closing Event: Sun 11th October 6-8pm
"I am interested in painting as an environment. How to move with painting? To me it is an unruly, tactile and open-ended process. It's a way to carve into a space and tag it while moving in it, enjoying and reappraising its physical and imaginary dimensions."

Oliver Patterson 'Ziselbog and other plates'

An alternative take on the decorative plate- alternative crockery from a local Edinburgh illustrator.

Cecily Tattersall "Paintings" 2nd - 14th September 2008

Closing Party Sunday 14th September 7 - 9pm

"There is something ridiculous and miserly in the myth we inherit from abstract art. That painting is autonomous, pure and for itself, therefore we habitually analyze its ingredients and define its limits. But painting is 'impure'. It is the adjustment of
'impurities' which forces its continuity. We are image-makers and image-ridden. There are no wiggly or straight lines..."

-Philip Guston

Jean Pierre Lapeyre 30th-31st August

Self Portrait as The Ladder and the Saw "Jack the Hard Worker was born on earth but in a different universe to this one." A combination of video, painting and live performance.

Bang Carroty and the Cardboard Cod 25th-27th August

Mr Sands is in the Foyer.

Once upon a time, long long ago, two moustache-twirling ,udder-pulling, shoulderpad-shaking mavericks, who went by the names of Bang Carroty and The Cardboard Cod, took the stag by the antlers, the cow by the udders and the West End
by storm. Known for their curious couture and mesmerising motions, the troubling double act stickslapped, fishwhacked and carrotslung their way into the lemonlight, causing media mayhem and frenzy. Audiences travelled far and wide to see the infamous pair in their oversized and misshapen performance, and before long they became a farce to be reckoned with. And now, for one night only (and a couple of afternoons, don’t say they ain’t good to ya) our gruelling, duelling duo will gyrate, pulsate and levitate for your delight and entertainment.

What They Could Do They Did 20th-24th August

The fabulous London Collective hijack the gallery space for their own nefarious ends.

Michael Bowdidge: XProject 10th -12th August

The 10 short sound pieces exhibited here are part of an ongoing sequence of audio works entitled XProject. Each of these pieces takes as its starting point one (or more) of the various standard 'alert' sounds supplied with the Windows XP operating system. This strategy springs from the same desire to re-arrange materials which are 'close at hand' that drives my object-based sculptural practice.
