About Katy Dove Afternoon
Join us on Saturday 26 October for an afternoon celebrating the life and work of Katy Dove.
Between October 2024 – March 2025, Edinburgh Printmakers will host six events that focus on rarely seen treasures from our Permanent Collection in our Unwrapped series.
The first of this series will be an afternoon celebrating the artist Katy Dove, presented in collaboration with the Katy Dove Archive. This is a drop-in event featuring an exhibition, video screening, and hands-on activity. Once you purchase a ticket, you can arrive at any time between 1-5pm on the day.
Katy Dove worked with Edinburgh Printmakers to create 3 editions in 2004. The prints were exhibited at Edinburgh Printmakers alongside a full screen presentation of video works by the artist. We'll be mounting a similar presentation marking 20 years since its debut.
Attendees will also have the unique opportunity to see some additional archival materials such as animation cells, felt-tip drawings, watercolour, and embroidery pieces on loan from the Katy Dove Archive.
Throughout the event there will be a drop-in printmaking workshop inspired by Katy Dove’s practice and the artist's interest in synaesthesia - pairing colours and shapes to sounds, smells, and other senses. These are beginner-friendly, no previous experience required.
This event is suitable for all ages, children should be accompanied by an adult.
Katy Dove (1970 – 2015) was born in Oxford and brought up in the Black Isle, a peninsula in the Scottish Highlands. She made a singular contribution to art and music in Scotland. Dove was a vital and enthusiastic member of a generation of artists who made significant impact over the last 25 years in the UK and internationally. She studied psychology at the University of Glasgow before attending Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee. Dove is best known for her vibrant, colourful, yet meditative artwork. A memorial exhibition of her work was held at Dundee Contemporary Arts in 2016 before travelling to various galleries in the north of Scotland including Pier Arts Centre, Orkney.
