We're please to give you an update on this years Garden Gallery:

Rocca Gutteridge - Sea Shell Showcases

Rocca Gutteridge - Leith FMRocca Gutteridge - Hot Pink Rocks

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:

  • Giant buttons showcasing audio sound bites created by the public of Portobello
  • A text back facility for immediate reactions
  • Audio updates on Big Thing's Public Art adventures

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 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.

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.
