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.
