A new collaboration between Alan Grieve and Eddie Summerton. Alan and Eddie exhibit individually, nationally and internationally and also operate together as the art group A+E.
A Cairngorm Love Affair supposes a meeting between two writers closely associated with the Cairngorms, Nan Shepherd and Sydney Scroggie. A humorous and irreverent exploration of memories and mythologies of landscape, this new work imagines the worlds of these two writers colliding in an imagined space of screen, sound and shopping.
Produced by Fife Contemporary for their 20th anniversary year this new work will premiere as part of the StAnza International Poetry Festival and evolve again as part of Dear Earth at Kirkcaldy Galleries in August.
