23 February 2006
This month presents an opportunity to see and discuss work by a group of young artists in one of Edinburgh’s most ambitious commercial galleries, doggerfisher.
doggerfisher opened in 2001 with a solo show of new work by Edinburgh College of Art graduate, Jonathan Owen. In a four-star feature in The Guardian, Elizabeth Mahoney wrote: ‘If it was in London, New York or Berlin, Edinburgh’s new contemporary art gallery doggerfisher, wouldn’t make headlines. But in Scotland, where an art scene flourishes without a network of commercial galleries supporting work other than painting, it is causing something of a stir.’
Five years on from this article, doggerfisher’s Director, Susanna Beaumont, is taking the gallery and its artists across the globe from Europe to the States. Not only is Beaumont promoting a high calibre of innovative practitioners, but she is still one of the leaders of this field.
Do not miss this event – there will be an opportunity to talk to Jonathan about his work in the show and reconsider Susanna Beaumont’s fascination for artists working in the medium of paper.
