Summerhall
Claude Closky: 10, 20, 30 and 40%
1 August – 26 September 2014
Claude Closky, Going Around In Circles (Essex), 2013, interactive video installation
Leading French conceptual artist Claude Closky invites the public to make a mouse click, initiating the rotation of an already wonky projected landscape. As the image spins faster, the sounds of the countryside reverberate with the deceleration and finally cease, dependent on the viewers interaction. The title Going Around In Circles mixes two situations - that of the figured, through circular motion, and the figurative, going nowhere.
Other works will also be exhibited in Closky's first exhibition in Scotland for over ten years.
Mon-Sun, 11am-9pm
Outside August: Mon-Sun, 11am-6pm
