Scaffold is an arresting, immense and powerful wooden structure by the Los Angeles-based, American artist Sam Durant. The first installation in a new programme of temporarily sited sculptures amidst Jupiter’s 60 acres of landscape, Durant's work is placed within a new orchard. Scaffold will command outstanding views of the Pentland Hills and surrounding area, and visitors are invited to climb upon and explore this vast structure.
First shown last year in Kassel, Germany at dOCUMENTA (13), this will be the first showing of Scaffold in the UK before it travels to The Hague in the autumn.

Jeremy Deller with Alan Kane
3 August – 15 September 2013
Jeremy Deller with Alan Kane
In the year he represents the UK at the Venice Biennale, Jeremy Deller and his long-standing collaborator, Alan Kane will exhibit at Jupiter Artland.
Since their early collaborative show at the infamous London nightclub Stringfellow’s in 1995 to Folk Archive (2007), their acclaimed and unique celebration of British popular art, Deller and Kane have explored and captured the unusual, the off-beat and sometimes the overlooked.
The exhibition will include the artists' Steam Powered Internet Machine - inspired by, as Deller describes it, “thinking about something that connects the industrial revolution with the digital revolution”. Their quirky, customised tea urn and teapot will also make an appearance in Jupiter’s café.
Marking another significant collaboration with the banner-maker Ed Hall, Jupiter will exhibit Deller’s series of vast, colourful and evocative banners. Paraded through the streets of Manchester in 2009, they were a key element in Deller’s Procession, a march coordinated by the artist to celebrate life in contemporary Britain.
Another of Deller’s long-term collaborators, the Caribbean steel drum band Steel Harmony, will celebrate the opening of the exhibition on Saturday 3 August by performing covers of hits by Joy Division, Buzzcocks and other seminal UK indie bands.

Sara Barker has been attracting increasing attention for her delicate constructions in wire, metal and canvas. Her new work for Parley is her most ambitious to date and marks a significant departure for the artist, as the first time she has worked outdoors.
If previous works have established an intensely intimate conversation with the surrounding architecture, here Barker initiates a direct dialogue with the woodland landscape of Jupiter Artland, who have co-commissioned this work. Set in the landscape, her glass pavilion encircles and incorporates a painted metal structure. Made from interlocking forms in brass, aluminium and steel, the sculpture mirrors and reflects the ever-changing light, weather and temperature of the landscape.
In tune with Miralles and Tagliabue’s desire to create ‘not a building... but a form for gathering’, Barker conceives of her structure as providing a place to gather and pause. Windows, apertures, openings, are a recurring motif in her work. Her newest work, like a three dimensional drawing, articulates a space in the landscape for us to enter and inhabit with our mind’s eye.
