4: Gordon Brennan - Archaeology

E-mail Print

Archaeology, by Gordon BrennanGordon Brennan, hosted by Mentone Avenue @ Mentone Avenue

Known for his work with artists’ books informed by the built environment Gordon’s sculptures are formal architectural/archaeological constructions in cast concrete.

Title of work - Archaeology

These works are generated from investigations into aspects of architecture, archaeology and a love of ruins.

They form a part of a larger body of work that explores the relationships of narrative and collecting within the realms of daily observations and reflection. They are elements and details of simple building blocks that go towards creating a deeper understanding our relationship with the shape and form of the spaces we inhabit.

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
