The ESSAY, BBC Radio 3: Alison Watt
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.
Alison Watt was born in Greenock in 1965 and studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1983-88. Her exquisitely painted canvases depicting swathes of fabric edge towards the abstract whilst retaining a strange, almost sensual quality suggestive of a human presence.
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: Kevin Harman

Kevin Harman was born in Edinburgh in 1982. Exploring the everyday to find the extraordinary, harman works across media, often using the very objects in which he finds his inspiration as the principle component of his artworks. Harman's sculptures, prints, films and drawings serve as trophies of the creative process, giving us cause to consider the act of making as equally as important as the end product.
24/7 was Kevin Harman's commission for Edinburgh Art Festival 2012, for which he spent 24 hours in ASDA to source the materials for his installation.
