2010 - a brief review

Hi, again

Well thats it for SpringFling for another year - the work now begins for 2011!
I sincerely hope that this years event was successful, enjoyable and fun for: all the participants, those who work tirelessly behind the scenes and most importantly for those visitors who turned up in their numbers for this years event.
News in from Calum Stirlings 'Hyporbaric Empyr' installation at Craigieburn (see images attached to blog) reports that the work was a resounding success with well over 100 visitors for the opening night of the residency. Owners of the Craigieburn gardens, Janet and Andrew Wheatcroft, thought more visitors attended the gardens than might ordinarily be expected throughout the season! A special mention also goes to Grace for her lovely Dim Sum which she lovingly prepared for attendees to go along with the wine!
Overall, a great and successful residency - congratulations and gratitude go to Calum, Janet and Andrew and those involved in the event.

Spring Fling Residency Launch

Glasgow-based artist Calum Stirling has drawn on his experience with sculpture, video, sound, moving image and architectural intervention to create Hypobaric Empyr, a new work to be shown during Spring Fling weekend. The work will be launched at Craigieburn at the official opening of Spring Fling 2010, from 6pm to 9pm on Friday 28 May, to which all are warmly invited. To get there take the A708 out of Moffat for around two miles (postcode DG10 9LF).

There will also be a free bus leaving Glasgow (from outside the CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street, G2 3JD ) on Friday 28 May at 5.45pm. This will arrive at Craigieburn Garden at approximately 6.45pm and will return to Glasgow at 11pm. If you would like to reserve a place on the bus please email allisonmgibbs@gmail.com in advance.
