ART LATE WITH NINTH WAVE Final instalment of Edinburgh Art Festival’s evening tours
A ll good things must come to an end, and as we enter the tail end of festival season, the Edinburgh Art Festival hosts the last of its peripatetic evening tours. The programme begins at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop for a viewing of Hemispheric Phases, a newly commissioned work that emerged from a six-month exchange between Argentina and Scotland by artists Birthe Jorgensen, Santiago Poggio and Scott Rogers. Their work, which engages with a range of mediums, explores themes of feminism, geographical and temporal displacement, history and our relationship to the natural world.
The tour then returns to the city centre for a trip round the Edinburgh Printmakers, Ingleby Gallery, the Numbers Shop at Embassy Gallery and Arusha Gallery, where visitors can enjoy a performance by Glasgow-based percussionist and sound artist Signy Jakobsdottir. The i nal venue will be the Scottish National Portrait Gallery which currently houses the exhibition Beyond Likeness, a collection of portraits by Scottish artist Victoria Crowe, who has depicted the inner lives of luminaries such as RD Laing, poet Kathleen Raine and pioneering medical scientist Dame Janet Vaughan. Also at the Portrait Gallery is Planes, Trains and Automobiles, a photographic showcase of how modes of transportation have developed in Scotland from 1840 onwards, from the mundanity of the daily commute to the sublime of international travel. Featuring photographs from the likes of Alfred G Buckham, Humphrey Spender and Alfred Stieglitz, Planes, Trains and Automobiles examines the indelible impact that modern transportation has had on Scottish society. The evening concludes with a musical performance from post-punk Glasgow quartet the Ninth Wave, bringing to a close another enlightening festival season.
