Cycle 15 Alt-w Production Award - KMG
www.kmgyeah.com
4th April to 1st July 2023. FREE
Music Hall, Union Street, Aberdeen AB10 1QS
Aberdeen-raised artist KMG, who trained at Gray's School of Art, has unleashed her multi-eyed character ‘Ken’ onto the Music Hall screen. In this new animation the character is seen skateboarding, surfing and riding a fox no less. An unmistakable combination, filled with playful enthusiasm.
KMG's work explores themes ranging from the precarious to the mundane, with often quite subversive results. A weird and wonderful combination of curiosity mixed with utter cynicism leaves her work with a surreal and sarcastic tone. Her belief in the power of accessible art is unshakeable.

Atmosphere | Downton Abbey: A New Era
Saturday 10th June 2023, 7:30 for 8pm. £15 RSVP
Lauriston Castle, 2 Cramond Rd S, Edinburgh EH4 6AD
We're delighted to be back at Lauriston Castle after our sell-out run of Atmosphere events from 'Carry on Screaming' to 'Gosford Park'. The writer of the latter, Julian Fellows returns with his award-winning creation, the continuing historical drama of the aristocratic Crawley family and staff.
It’s 1928, and with family away in France, a film production company uses their home as the location for a silent film ‘The Gambler’, right at the dawn of the talkies. Come dressed for your close up, Hollywood or Riviera, as there's champagne to win. Ticket includes a complimentary glass.

Alt-w Fund
The application deadline has now passed.
Initiated in Dundee by Scottish Screen, the Alt-w Fund is for practitioners based in Scotland to make and develop new artworks, devices and creative applications that challenge the notions of what new media creativity can be.
The fund supports artists to explore experimental and interactive practice, make use of technology as both medium and message, and recognise the changing role that digital culture has in our society.
Cycle 15 of the fund will commission and curate work for presentation on the 4.5m high LED screen that welcomes every visitor to the refurbished Music Hall in Aberdeen. The deadline for applications is the 17th March 2023 at 6pm.
