For Annuale 08, Standby presents – Three.Three one-night exhibitions, which take place at varying locations, every Friday evening from 8th – 22nd of August.Standby seeks to explore and challenge the way in which we view art through hosting exhibitions and events in unlikely settings, these often take the form of one night events and vary from solo to group shows. Three brings together the artists Janice Smelt, Chris Viviani and Alex McAndrew – each artist explores our desires and disgusts, our interpersonal relationships and our perceived attitudes and beliefs. Every Friday an artist will be given centre stage – a miniature solo-exhibition, allowing the audience to engage with the work individually but to also contemplate the exhibition as a whole.Three:1Friday 8th Janice Smelt7-9pm, exhibition and wine tastingOddbins Elm Row94/96 Bruswick StreetEdinburghThree:2Friday 15th Chris VivianiThree:3Friday 22nd Alex McAndrewstandby is an artist run initiative.
