Zabriskie Point

Built Overnight

Back in June I got to play intern and assist the folks at Rhubaba transform an old William Hill bookies down in Leith into a temporary art gallery "overnight".

Work by Rob Chavasse, Richard Cook, Nathalie De Briey, Edinburgh Psycho-Geography Association, Vicky Falconer, Stephen Forge, Alex Gross, Kevin Hunt, Shona Macnaughton and Frances Stacey

A really exciting show at the end and it all worked really well in the space. Images below stolen from Rhubaba's website, have a look and see what they are all about. Good stuff.

cats, cars and milkshakes.

Butterfly

I keep finding dead butterflies at the moment. I did find a third this week, but the ants stole it.


Speaking of insects, I watched Phenomena the other day. Set in Switzerland, Girl has special powers to communicate with insects and uses said powers to solve crimes. What could go wrong?



Good for overdramatic 80's music, use of wind machines and bug vision.
The ending gets a bit unnecessary and there wasn't enough talking to insects for my liking.
Still worth a watch... or at least the trailer definitely is.
