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.

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.

Atmosphere
For details of our next Atmosphere click here.
Atmosphere is our most popular research and event programme. First premiered at the 2010 Edinburgh International Film Festival, it re-imagines the concept of Atmospheric movie theaters from the 1920s and 30s.
Each expanded screening uses a team of guest artists and creatives to work with technology old and new, multi-sensory interactives and live elements too. Expect some smoke and mirrors, before the bells and whistles.
