Motor Vehicle Sundown

16th – 25th August.

Motor Vehicle Sundown is an audio piece for two in a parked car in the middle of a busy city. It is a journey through the history of our relationship to this most mythologised of objects and the dream of America with which it is so intimately bound up. You will navigate your way through rolling fields and along endless highways, gazing out of the windows at a world of your own invention.

“Framed as a simulated ride in an amusement park of the distant future that houses the very last surviving car on earth, this small, simple but hugely evocative piece operates both as an elegy and a satire. At the end you stare out of the windscreen at the long road ahead: you know that you are in 21st-century Battersea, but all you can see are the smoking ruins of the past.”
(Lyn Gardner, The Guardian)

    Over the course of 2024 Out of the Blue will continue to offer opportunities for artists and members of the community to learn, participate and earn income.

    We use the space we have developed in 6 buildings in Edinburgh for studios, workshops, classes, projects, exhibitions, social enterprises, events, clubs, music making, markets, a cafe and more.

    Our all year round activity helps create the culture of the city, supporting the local economy and having positive social impact for the thousands of individuals and organisations we work with.

    We would humbly accept a financial donation, however small, in support of our work.
