Architect artists go on show at new exhibition
January 19 2015
‘What Lies Beneath II’ has been donated by the artist for auction to raise funds for Patrick Wild Centre, one of a number of auctions to be held by the body to raise money for research research into autism, Fragile X Syndrome and intellectual disabilities.
It will be auctioned off by former RIBA president Maxwell Hutchinson as Scott is named an Honorary Fellow by the SSAA.
Members of the public are invited to view the exhibition from 21-24 January at the Edinburgh College of Art Sculpture Court.

Talent envy much, james? Those who can, get on with it while those who can't make snide comments from the sidelines

Snide? Nah! I was trying to point out that humility can go a long way, but it appears that wasn't picked up on. Take 26 architects and give each of them a 6B and an A4 piece of cartridge paper and not one could produce a drawing of the sensitivity and intelligence produced by a 1st year secondary school student in an afternoon art class - guaranteed. Or, if you were to give each of them a typewriter...

So, a group of like-minded individuals get together. In this case, they share an interest in art, and architecture in common. Somehow, this is to be sneered at. They collaberate with other similar groups across Europe, host joint exhibitions, and occassionally, host a fantastic show like this, which also benefits charity. We can all mock, but it generally says more about the mocker than the mockee. Now, you don't have to like their art, (There are multiple styles - it's unlikely you dislike all of it...) but you also don't have to go and see it. Yah-Boo comments like this detract from any sensible critique you might offer elsewhere on this site, Ms James.
