Atmosphere | Downton Abbey: A New Era

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.

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.

Robert Powell with Louise Wild

1st November 2022 to 7th January 2023
. FREE
Music Hall, Union Street, Aberdeen AB10 1QS
The chronoscope is designed to not only tell the time but also convey how, why and what time really is. As each slender slither of time bursts into being, the chronoscope gauges the exact nature of that particular moment and visualises it. (It is no wonder that the chronoscope sometimes runs a little slow.)

17th December 2022 to 10th January 2023.
Royal Scottish Academy, The Mound, Edinburgh EH2 2EL
Motifs from the realm of neoclassical architecture dance and evolve on screen, tracing a journey from the ancient, analogue and physical, to the modern, digital and abstract. Craft techniques such as tiling, mosaic, marquetry, weave and stitch all originated as mathematical pattern structures and here are brought full circle, ‘re-encoded’ as algorithms.
