Hi
Big Things on the Beach has recently commissioned artist Michael Pinsky to create an
artwork for Portobello Swim Centre, launching at an event on Sat 27 th March 2010.
He is proposing an animated moving image artwork for projection onto the water of
the Portobello Swim Centre, using footage shot in collaboration with users of the
swim centre.
Michael is visiting Portobello week 15th Feb in order to get the footage required for
animation. None of the footage will be close-up faces of the swimmers, but will be
shot from the balconies of the pool and then manipulated and animated on
computer.
Below is a tear-off slip for permissions – please fill this in and give it to the swimming
pool staff on the desk before entering the pool.
Many thanks,
Susan Grant
