Atypical Root featured in special MiniSkinny Magazine - out 15 April
Fantastic news!
Over the past few weeks Atypical Root has been meeting regularly with the brain trust/design gurus at Central Station, and the outcome is a very exciting partnership!

This pocket sized booklet will give you a unique slice of our events (amongst others), and should hit the stands by the opening of Glasgow International Festival - the 15th of April 2010.

Location:
Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre [SECC] Covered Walkway, Glasgow, G3 8YW
Find this on the Map!
Synopsis:
A sound installation in the walkway leading to the SECC which plays a recording taken from a
radio telescope of a dying star.
Description:
A sound installation in the covered walkway leading from the Exhibition Centre Railway Station to the SECC, the Science Centre and ultimately leading through the ‘Digital Media Quarter’ and on to Govan and the South. A response to the council’s action plan for the area, which states that the Pacific Quay area lacks ‘a sense of arrival’ that they have tried to address over the past 4 years. The sound installation will contribute to a ‘sense of arrival’ at the SECC and link the site to the Science Centre through the content of the work. The sound is a recording taken from a radio telescope of a dying star that imploded in the year 1054 AD and could be seen across the medieval world. It is only now that the sound has reached us.

Mhairi Sharp | Every Other Saturday
Location:
Along Govan Road, Glasgow
Find this on the Map!
Synopsis:
Work reflecting the nostalgia and fashion of football casuals; the Govan area hosts both home and away fans in nearby Ibrox stadium.
Description:
A series of large-scale prints, fly-posted directly onto wall surfaces along this stretch of road, each sharing the theme of the nostalgia and fashion associated with football and terrace culture, such as the ‘Casuals’. Situated near to the Rangers Football stadium– the work, in relation to the area, intends to provoke reflection and pay tribute to this sub-culture in a visual manner, that also engages with the language and the culture of its host community.
Artist Statement:
The nostalgia of the (eighties) football Casuals and the fashion of this sub-culture interests me greatly within my practice. Through my work, I strive to provoke reflection and pay tribute to this lesser known sub-culture to which football and fashion mattered more to than corporate hospitality and sanitized stadiums. Colour, culture, the visual and site specificity are all important aspects to me within my practice.
