Plinth Projects
An old-school plinth in the centre of Edinburgh Gardens is being given new life by an artist-run initiative. The statue which once sat on this plinth was lost (under mysterious circumstances), making it an unexpectedly jazzy but empty spot, recently filled by a schedule of temporary, outdoor exhibitions.
Overview
The Plinth or the old-school base-type structure that columns used to be built on back in the day that is still found in the centre of Edinburgh Gardens is being given new life by the artist-run initiative Plinth Projects. The statue which once sat on this plinth was lost (under mysterious circumstances), making it an unexpectedly jazzy but empty spot, recently filled by a schedule of temporary, outdoor exhibitions.
On a monthly rotation during the warmer months, Plinth Projects will kick off with Oscar Perry’s Harvest Showdown/ Early Classics, Hits and Rarities, an insight into the life and untimely death of Mike Edwards, the cellist in '70s progressive rock band Electric Light Orchestra, who was also a devotee of Indian mysticism.
On the first Sunday afternoon of each month, the exhibitions will be opened up to one and all with a celebratory picnic. Like choosing the stairs over the escalator, it could be the perfect opportunity to get some incidental art into that punishing schedule.
