Open close 2017

Using sound, light, sculpture, design and visual art the temporary art installation project Open Close saw interventions large and small, overt and subtle scattered across Carrubbers Close, Chalmers Close and Trunks Close off Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Open Close was born out of an interest in the particular sense of place that the Closes offer, exploring themes of ownership, memory, urban ecology and contemporary digital communications as well as awareness of the character of spaces and places in the Old Town. Narrow, intimate, dramatic and steeped in history, the Closes are rich in possibility and yet can appear variously closed, neglected, occasionally threatening. Open Close is an invitation to explore and discover fresh ways of seeing these sometimes overlooked spaces and to re-evaluate their role and meaning in the context of the wider city.
