OPEN SHOW
Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh
For the first time the Fruitmarket Gallery has mounted an open show, that breed of exhibition which over the past lew years has become more and more popularwith galleries. The recipe goes something like this—take a panel which usually consists of a respresentative lrom each corner at the art world — administrative, curatorial. artistic and honorary. Invite all artists to submitwork ottheir choice. Collect them all together and then choose. The selection which hangs in the exhibition constitutes the Open Show, a risky, unpredictable and potentially surprising exhibition.
The Fruitmarket had nearly 1000 entries lrom nearly 600 artists and a ; prestigious group olselectors- ' Richard Calvocoressi, Director of the Gallery of Modern Art, Joanna Drew, Director at the Hayward Gallery, Thomas Lawson, artist and critic, Sandy Motiat, artist and lecturer, and George Kerevan, Edinburgh District Council. Sounds like the right ingredients.
Out of the 1000, the panel chose just over 50 works and it is there that this open Show begins to tam” Since the from rescues from churches. civic inViIation to exmbil is a Iree'lor'allt the buildings and private houses throughout resulting show should in some way I (ilasgow'. reilect that.
