Bringing life back to Muirhouse Library wall
There’s a scarred, empty wall at the entrance to the Muirhouse Library, where a piece of art used to be … it’s been a blank canvas for a while, but Arcadeum’s Art Billboard project is bringing this empty space back to life! Continue reading Bringing life back to Muirhouse Library wall

Can you help trace the Elvis fanatic or the mystery boatbuilder?
Last year artist Hans Clausen put out a call to find local collectors as part of his Arcadeum project. Well, while there has been some response Hans is still on the lookout for more – and two in particular have sparked his interest.

Calling all collectors!
ARCADEUM: art project looking for unusual collections 
Whether it’s an interest, an obsession, a hobby or a habit; from animal ornaments to ankle bracelets, from zulu masks to zoo souvenirs, intentionally or by chance – lots of us collect things.
As part of ARCADEUM, a new art project based at North Edinburgh Arts, artist Hans Clausen is looking for residents in North Edinburgh who have collections. Hans plans to create an exhibition around local residents collections accompanied by a book and/or website featuring people’s collections and the stories attached to them.
He would like to hear from anyone of any age who has a collection they’d like to share … the more unusual the better! Over the coming year the ARCADEUM project will be exploring the purpose, potential and possibilities of public art, specifically in and around the new Community Partnership Centre to be built in Pennywell in 2016.
There will be public art events, exhibitions and opportunities for participation, collaboration and discussion. Bringing people together to talk about the things they collect is a way of finding common interests and starting conversations about why we like what we like, the value and worth of things and how we relate and respond to the stuff that surrounds us.
If you’re a collector, a happy hoarder or just happen to have a curious collection of things Hans would like to hear from you. Please get in touch, leave us your contact details and Hans will be happy to meet with you to hear about your collection!

- At North Edinburgh Arts on Thursdays or Fridays or leave him a message at reception.
