Art Walk Projects is
delighted to present four new writing commissions in response to SALT. Each commission pairs one writer with one artist to slowly develop a text or series of texts through sustained conversation, culminating in the
publication of a book in spring 2023.
The four writers are:
Harvey Dimond, responding to artist Natasha Ruwona; Sean Wai Keung, responding to Mahala Le May;
Rowan Lear, responding to Joanne Matthews; and Jan Uprichard, responding to Tonya McMullan.
In addition to the printed
publication, we are also embarking on a new
editorial partnership with MAP, working together to support contemporary art writing through experi-
mental approaches to
commissioning and
publishing.
Texts growing out of these commissions are appearing on mapmagazine.co.uk from September.
SALT is a new programme of artist residencies
and outdoor public art commissions that
connects Edinburgh’s coastal ecologies with the
global climate crisis. Operating at the intersection
of art, science and ecology, SALT marks
the start of a new body of interdisciplinary
inquiry taking place between now and 2023.
During Art Walk Porty we feature exhibitions,
live performances, film screenings,
installations, workshops, open studios, art in shops, book launches, artist-led walks
and talks. Together we aim to create an
environment for dialogue around our oceans
and seas and their relationship to the climate
emergency. Many of the projects are informed by
conversations with scientists and participation
in scientific research processes.
