Cycle 15 Alt-w Production Award - KMG
www.kmgyeah.com
6th August to 5th October 2024. FREE
Music Hall, Union Street, Aberdeen AB10 1QS
The artist KMG first unleashed her multi-eyed character ‘Ken’ onto Aberdeen's streets as part of Nuart in 2021. Now back at the Music Hall, the ever charismatic 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.

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.

This project explores the coastal areas of Scotland where industrial and natural structures have become interwoven. These areas, where life began the evolutionary journey from ocean to land, are at risk due to rising water levels. This anthropogenic impact on the coast is highlighted by the artist via photogrammetry of the emerging assemblages.
