GRANTON GASHOLDER Public Art design
Granton Gasholder Park, Edinburgh (work in progress)
Commissioned by The City of Edinburgh Council
Commissioned by The City of Edinburgh Council
I have been commissioned to design a piece of public art for the new Granton Gasholder Park, along with five other artists (where one of us will be selected to create the final artwork). The artwork will be designed collaboratively with the local community, via a programme of creative workshops and consultations. These will include online engagement, a public workshop and consultation event, workshops with local community groups and with local school pupils. The outcomes of these activities will translate directly into the final design.
If you are based in or near Granton, this is your chance to get involved! CALL FOR INSPIRATION
I am gathering inspirational images and information relating to the natural environment around Granton, North Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth. This can be a photo, an artwork, a piece of text or anything else that you think could be used to inspire the artwork. While nature will be the primary theme, I also welcome any interesting images or information relating to the history of Granton or visions for its future (however you might interpret that). Please email images accompanied with relevant info to svetlana@svetlanakondakova.com or upload digital files below Submission deadline: 12th of May 2024 |
