Since you asked: I thought this was the most uninspired piece of art I've seen for a long time, I wasn't going to bother but when I read in the portobello reporter about the idea behind the title:"Black Swan" I thought it was time to react. This work certainly challenged my expectations but I don't think it was by any means high impact. The only impact this has is to put people off?

So, 'Black Swan' has been installed and officially launched but now comes the interesting bit - finding out what you all think. What impact has it had on all of you? How does it make you feel? How does it change how you experience the surrounding beach/prom, for better or for worse? Tell us what you think!

Commissions

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.

Our current project - The Big Welcome - is supported by Creative Scotland, Portobello & Craigmillar Neighbourhood Partnership and Edinburgh City Libraries
