echo is a new Edinburgh based artistrun initiative, launched this year.
echo uses in-between spaces and unseen locations to present a smörgåsbord of contemporary art. echo encourages collaborations and new initiatives for emerging artists and wants to promote links to other Scottish cities for artists based in Edinburgh.
For Edinburgh Art Festival echo curates a contemporary art group show. The theme of the show is the (sibling) rivalry existing between the two cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Five Edinburgh-based artists have been chosen for the show: Satoko Kiuchi, Tonya McMullan, Steve Mykietyn, Paulina Sandberg and Derek Sutherland. Each of the artists has chosen an artist based in Glasgow to either collaborate with or to submit work for the show. The Edinburgh artists were encouraged to choose their Glasgow sibling equivalent, a method of choosing which draws parallels with the childhood games when children choose class mates to be on their team, playfully exploring the differences and unique qualities of each city. The exhibition includes sculpture, video, performance and mixed media. The artists involved are all emerging and have exhibited throughout Scotland and abroad.
art’s complex is located in a former office building next to Meadowbank Stadium.
