Exhibition: 15th May – 5th June (11am – 5pm daily)
Summerhall, Edinburgh
Underground is a multi-artform exhibition bringing work created by video artists, performers and composers to Summerhall’s Basement Galleries.
The works include performance to camera, responses to specific locations both rural and urban, sound and text, and are presented variously as installation, single monitor works and screen projections. The works have been brought together by visual artist Su Grierson, who was involved in each of the projects. The widely different outcomes of the collaborations are the result of a truly collaborative working process that responded in each case to the overall dynamics of the participants and the nature of the project.
The exhibition was inspired by Su’s participation in Rough Mix, at Summerhall in September 2015. She was interested in the idea of showing work made at that time, often in response to the building itself, back in the very same spaces. To this mix she has added works created in other collaborative situations
