Grace Schwindt
Tenant
Sat 21 April - Sun 27 May
German artist Grace Schwindt will be exhibiting at Collective in April-May. As well as showing new film Tenant, Grace completed a site specific performance Glass and Honey utilising the large front windows of the gallery to separate the performance from the audience who watched from outside on the street.
Please note Tenant will not run on a loop and will be screened at 11am, 1pm and 3pm each day the exhibition is open.
Listen to Grace in conversation with Steven Cairns as she discusses her exhibition and performance on our Podomatic site.

Banu Cennetoglu & Philippine Hoegen | Maria Fusco | Dominic Paterson | Sarah Tripp
Sat 21 April - Sun 27 May
Adaptation is a phased year long project initiated by Sarah Tripp with Collective that will consider the effect that changing circumstances can have on forms – this is particularly pertinent at this a time when Collective is in its own process of adaptation, preparing to move from its current site on Cockburn Street to a new site at the end of 2012.
The practitioners involved in Adaptation all have multi-stranded practices including: photography, filmmaking, publishing, writing, teaching, appropriation, facilitation, curating, commentating, public discourse and the creation of events.

Simon Martin
Louis Ghost Chair
9 June - 22 July
Collective present a new film work by Simon Martin. The iconic object at the heart of Simon Martin's seventeen-minute film Louis Ghost Chair, is the classic design of the Louis XV armchair. The film considers the chair’s contemporary afterlife in the form of Philippe Starck’s updated ‘Louis Ghost Chair’. From antique period-piece to modern-day style accessory, the chair’s transition from wood to plastic, from artisan workshop to high-tech assembly line is illuminated with commentary, spoken by a young female actor.
Commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella and Holburne Museum, Bath in association with Collective, Edinburgh, Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art, Sunderland and Elena Hill. Supported by Arts Council England with additional support from The Henry Moore Foundation.
