ART LATE WITH ST.MARTIINS Evening trails shine a light on Edinburgh Art Festival
W ith so much on offer during the festival season, it’s impossible to i t everything in during the daylight hours. Happily, the Edinburgh Art Festival’s Art Lates are back again, with twilit tours of their programme’s treasures every Thursday evening in August, in collaboration
with The List.
The second Art Late this year, to be held on 9 August, will begin with a visit to Shilpa Gupta’s For, in your tongue, I cannot hide. The installation, located at Edinburgh College of Art’s Fire Station venue, features 100 microphones suspended on metal rods, each piercing a page on which is written a fragment of poetry by an artist who once found themselves in conl ict against dominant powers and cultural discourses. Next up will be Adam Lewis Jacob’s No Easy Answers, a moving image installation that explores Brexit Britain and late capitalism through manipulated animals and recorded interviews between the artist and his grandmother. The third stop will take place at Stills: Centre for Photography, for a viewing of their exhibition The days never seem the same: Gunnie Moberg and Margaret Tait, two artists who worked in different mediums but were linked by their strong afi nity to the island and people of Orkney. Finally, the walk will come to Tacita Dean: Women with a Red Hat, a showcase of works related to performance, narrative and the imagination by the Turner-nominee. The night will then close with music from the Dundee jazz-inl ected pop-electronic duo ST.MARTiiNS (pictured), who will perform an intimate gig at the Fruitmarket Gallery as the sun sets on the city that – for one month only – never sleeps.
