Date: Thursday 28th June 2012
Time: 6-9pm
Venue: The Caves, 8-12 Niddry Street South, Edinburgh,
EH1 1NS
Ticket Price: Free
Theme: DIY
Just getting on with it, and 'Doing It Yourself' has always been a
key characteristic of creative individuals. But creative folk also
rarely work in isolation, and collaboration is also often at the
heart of many inventive endeavours. The first Glug Edinburgh will
hear from a range of inspiring talkers on this theme of DIY in its
various guises; from Inventors, to Architects, to Illustrators and
Performers.
Speakers
Dominic Wilcox is an artist, designer, inventor &
'thinkeruper'

Dominic Wilcox works within the territory of the 'everyday'. Everyday objects, environments, buildings, human interaction, no area of normality is out of reach. His work, which is usually layered with an ultra dry wit, places a spotlight on the banal, always adding a new, alternative perspective on things we take for granted.

Anna believes the distinction between art and architecture is
blurred, and that the drawing of architecture is fast becoming a
lost art. She (in a team with Ross Anderson) was selected as one of
the exhibiting architects in the British Council Pavillion at the
forthcoming Venice Bieniale (August 2012), with a project exploring
the Russian 'Paper Architecture' movement.
