The Miraculous. Raphael Rubinstein with Maeve Redmond and Sophie Dyer

About

In an unusual text-and-architecture experiment, New York-based poet and critic Raphael Rubinstein will work with designers Maeve Redmond and Sophie Dyer to transpose short narratives from his book The Miraculous into an installation that permeates the spaces of Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop. Episodes, both legendary and obscure, taken from the artistic avant-garde from the last five decades will reside along studio corridors, within communal spaces and on exterior walls, relocating a range of historic and contemporary artworks onsite via the imaginative space of writing.

The Miraculous is the second in the series of exhibitions, On an otherwise ordinary evening curated by Peter Amoore. Thinking through artist’s practice, the series brings together two artists and one critic engaged with the telling of stories, in attentive homages to other artists – their lives and their works – and in the imagining of improbable encounters between objects.

In April, artist and filmmaker Holly Antrum introduced the artist Jennifer Pike through the lens of her considered camera and in July objects speak after being given voice by artist and comedian Siân Robinson Davies.
