Gossip, chat and rumour from the gallery floor
l Two of Scotland’s most recent Venice Biennale artists, Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan, have been invited to exhibit at this year’s Pittenweem Arts Festival, 5-13 Aug (Cathy Wilkes is working with The Pier Arts Centre in Orkney, and Alex Pollard is developing an exhibition with The Talbot Rice Gallery at The University of Edinburgh). Their exhibition Three Lean Meanings is the third and final reconfiguration of their work commissioned for the project Selective Memory 2, Scotland’s presentation at the Venice Biennale in 2005, and will be sited in a medieval gatehouse in the Fife coastal village of Pittenweem. Three Lean Meanings consists of four pieces of work, two of which were shown in Venice, one in Edinburgh and one is a new piece that picks up on motifs and themes from both of the previous projects.
