Jeans & MacDonald, Ortonandon, Alexa Hare

Counterpoint events

16 August 2014

Edinburgh Art Festival and Talbot Rice Gallery's collaboration for 2014 brings an evening of co-commissioned performances to the surrounds of the gallery’s Counterpoint exhibition.

By creating a website that will be live only for a 3-hour performance period, and creating a temporary ‘Internet Café’ in the Gallery, Jeans & MacDonald will explore the 25 years since the creation of the World Wide Web and the generational time frame since its inception. 

Ortonandon, an artist collective consisting of 3 sisters Katie, Sophie and Anna Orton, present Toot Sweet Suit Suite, a unique suit reclamation service that questions social identity, redresses the loss of the bespoke and considers the freedom of dress-down workdays.

In the Georgian Gallery, Alexa Hare will show a series of ‘fan videos’ made for fellow artists, accompanied by live, part-scripted and part improvised performance elements, involving the featured artists and a performed soundtrack. 

Saturday 16 August, 6-9pm
