Throughout June Aberdeen
is hosting a series of artist’s residencies, where selected
artists from around Scotland will pair up with prominent
local artists to produce several new collaborative artworks
on the theme of ‘community’.
The project, run by Limousine
Bull Artist’s Collective with funding from the Scottish
Arts Council and Aberdeen City Council, has drawn contemporary
artists from city, country and island locations throughout
Scotland for week-long residencies, culminating in ‘open-studio’
exhibitions each Saturday throughout June at the Limousine
Bull project space in the Deemouth Business Centre in
Torry.
Project manager for Limousine
Bull, Mike Samson said, “In a society where our physical
communities are increasingly replaced by ‘online’ communities,
the artwork will add to the debate of what community actually
means to us in 2007”.
At the end of June the
artwork will be touring Scotland with exhibitions proposed
at each of the visiting artist’s home locations beginning
with An Tuireann gallery on Skye.
For directions on how
to get to the exhibitions please visit the 'find us' section
or contact Limousine Bull on 01224 877001.
