from Thursday 15th May - Friday 13th June 2008
This month, The Skinny Showcase goes to SCOTT LAVERIE, an Edinburgh-based sculptor who currently works out of the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop.
He has been recently been working with his own unique form of stop-motion animation, the results of which were exhibited in last year's SURVEY show in the Royal Scottish Academy, and described by The Skinny's Jay Shukla as "densely atmospheric and mysterious, possessing an almost fairytale-like sense of wonder".
Scott describes his current practice thus: "My work can be seen as a parody of my own insatiable urge to create. My research is concerned with notions that suggest that the acquisition of knowledge can lead to folly unless guided by grace".
His use of animation techniques he feels enables him to explore "those notional spaces between fiction and reality".
The exhibition will run from Thursday 15th May until Friday 13th June upstairs in The Bongo Club, open Monday to Friday 1pm - 7pm.
To see more of his work, go to: www.edinburghsculpture.org, www.youtube.com/fiftypheid or visit the Bongo Club Cafe from Thursday 15th May - Friday 13th June
Open: Mon – Fri 1pm – 7pm
Admission: Free
Dates: 15th May 2008 – 13th June 2008
