What is The indirect exchange of uncertain value?
1-2pm
Free
Booking essential
In this talk Kate Gray, Director of Collective will give you an insight into the process that lead to the works being sited at Fettes College and take bookings for a one off Art-Late tour of the project with transport and champagne.
The indirect exchange of uncertain value is a project developed by Collective with Joanne Tatham & Tom O'Sullivan with new commissions by the artists and Elizabeth Price and Chris Evans. Joanne Tatham & Tom O’Sullivan have a dialectical approach to making art; producing absurd or contradictory interventions as a means of considering or examining a situation. The indirect exchange of uncertain value continues this approach by siting artworks ‘against context’ at Fettes College.
The project has been developed through a discussion about the nature of public and private space within Edinburgh, and the instrumentalisation of art within the public sphere.

In 1611 a book was published which would become one of the most familiar and widely read in the world: the King James Bible. But how did this ‘noblest monument of English prose’ come to be?
Guiding us through the forces that shaped King James’ masterpiece, Derek Wilson explores the transformation of religion and society that led to its origin, tells the history of its making, and celebrates the breadth of its unparalleled influence. The story that unfolds will captivate all who enjoy history, religion, literature, or language.
Popular historian Derek Wilson came to prominence thirty years ago with A Tudor Tapestry: Men, Women and Society in Reformation England. He is the highly acclaimed author of over 50 books and has written and presented numerous radio and television programmes.
