We're please to give you an update on this years Garden Gallery: Rocca Gutteridge - Sea Shell Showcases {multithumb thumb_width=100 thumb_height=100 thumb_proportions=crop resize=1 caption_pos=disabled caption_type=alt} Inspired by the collective energy and enthusiasm of community radio station Leith FM, Rocca has been inspired to create a giant seashell. Sculpted from fibreglass the shell will have the following interactive options:
Working with her hosts Rocca plans to deploy the shell in and around Portobello, so come and join us and add some sound bites of your own! Michael Windle – title in discussion with the hosts
Michael has proposed a genuinely collaborative video project. Asking his hosts to contribute short films and sound bites he hopes to tap into the local and personal knowledge of the sunny-side and under-belly of Edinburgh's beach resort. The final work will be a collage of the contributed film clips and sound bites produced as a kaleidoscopic artwork to be premiered in Portobello in August. Holger Mohaupt - routines
Routines is a project about the location of Portobello, the residents and the way they navigate their town. Through a series of meetings with hosts Holgar will pass a GPS (Global Positioning System) tracking device from family to family to record their daily walks and rides. The final work entitled Routines will present this information as prints and digital media in Portobello during August. |

Big Things on the Beach is a public art trust in Portobello, a seaside suburb close to the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed by a group of residents in 2003 to explore the potential of the seafront as a site for engagement with public artworks by both emerging and established artists.
Since 2004 we have commissioned artists to create substantial temporary artworks, trained ourselves and others in the process of commissioning public artworks through international site visits and guest lectures and successfully raised funding to these ends.
We are currently funded by the Scottish Arts Council and The City of Edinburgh Council
Big Things on the Beach is a Charity Registered in Scotland (Scottish Charity Number: SC035107)
