The ESSAY, BBC Radio 3: Claire Barclay
12 noon
As part of the Edinburgh Art Festival you are invited to be a part of the audience at the recording of five programmes for the acclaimed BBC Radio 3 series THE ESSAY. In these, five artists, either based or born in Scotland, will write and deliver a fifteen minute essay about what inspires them in making the work they do.
Claire Barclay is a Scottish artist known for large-scale installations consisting of collections of sculptural objects brought together into precisely plotted relationships. Combining craft and machine-finished processes, and both everyday and precious materials, Barclay's art is precariously balanced between function and dysfunction, understanding and bafflement.
These essays, recorded at Ingleby Gallery during the Edinburgh Art Festival and broadcast in early October this year, look to demonstrate how we are continually challenged and delighted by artists working today. It will give the audience at Ingleby Gallery, and Radio 3 listeners, an insight into what lies at the heart of contemporary artistic practice, revealing some of the elements that inspire five artists working today.
The recordings are free but numbers are strictly limited. Booking required.
Produced by Marilyn Imrie and Ingleby Gallery with the Scots Independent production company Bona Broadcasting.

The ESSAY, BBC Radio 3: Andrew Miller
4pm
As part of the Edinburgh Art Festival you are invited to be a part of the audience at the recording of five programmes for the acclaimed BBC Radio 3 series THE ESSAY. In these, five artists, either based or born in Scotland, will write and deliver a fifteen minute essay about what inspires them in making the work they do.
Andrew Miller is a Glasgow based artist working across a variety of media - drawing, sculpture, photography and site-specific installation. Through a process of drawing, altering, transforming and making Miller seeks to gain an understanding of the ambiguity between notions of form and function. He works with the worn and the discarded, and in salvaging, reassembling and re-presenting familiar objects he attmpts to ask questions about the way things are placed, valued and used.
Andrew Miller was commissioned by the Edinburgh Art Festival to design the The Waiting Place, the pavilion for this year's festival.
