Edinburgh Art Festival's Youth Day 2011
2–6pm, followed by a film screening at 6.30pm
Free
Drop in session, no booking necessary
Edinburgh Art Festival in association with Stills present Youth Art Day 2011. This day consists of free workshops specifically for young people aged 14–17. These events are aimed at getting young people involved with contemporary art and each workshop will use EAF exhibitions as inspiration for participants to create their own unique piece of art through film.
Stills along with participants will be making their own hand drawn film footage inspired by Stephen Sutcliffe’s exhibition Runaway, Success.
Obsessively cutting statements from literature, theatre, film and television, the artist hoards material to re-present it in juddering, cut-up videos that shine with the brightness of glimpsed moments caught unexpectedly on a late night television.
These workshops will come to a close with a special screening event at Stills where parents and friends are welcome to come along to the screening where popcorn and drinks will be served.
