Remix Page 5

The aim of PVAF is to network local artists with each other and with those from other parts of Scotland and other countries; to create a level of inspiration to artists many of whom work in isolated rural places.

Remix was started to offer these artists an opportunity to come together creatively by making small works of art that can be hung and transported easily and without funding. The fact that artists are still asking to join the project and that new exhibition opportunities are being found indicates the success of this event.

There is no selection process because the purpose of this exhibition is to unite artists rather than reject them. The work stands as a testament to the energy and creativity of a growing international network of artists, many of whom live remotely, who can engage with each other simply, creatively and without an overload of funding and bureaucracy.

Remix has been shown in Lithuania at the Kaire-Desine gallery in Vilnius - at Birnam Art Centre and the Threshold Artspace, Perth Theatre. Remix went to China as part of Perth and Kinross Council's presentation at the Baishi festival at the Xiantan University's Baishi Institute. Most recently it has been exhibited in Germany at the county house Foyer in Bad Oldesloe and in the county Gallery Remise in Bad Segeberg.

Four artists went to Lithuania with Remix, Christine Goodman, Scott Hudson, Sandra Baxter and Su Grierson. Shona Leitch, Claire Harkess and Kirsty Duncan went to China as part of the PKC deputation attending the Baishi Festival. PVAF committee members, Lynne Donald and Emma Cooper attended the German exhibition opening.
