Summer Camp Tuesday 28 August, 9am7pm Potluck Feast, 7pm9pm


Taking place in the main gallery, Summer Camp invites ESP members to test ideas, identify common ground and showcase work by contributing a single work to this one day exhibition event. As well as image or object based pieces we also welcome contributions by members making moving image, digital, performative or text based work and intend Summer Camp to become an annual survey of ESP members practices. It will also be a great opportunity to get together and everyone is invited to bring a dish to contribute to a communal Potluck Feast for ESP members and invited guests.

The Curfew Tower Exhibition Wednesday 8 August, noon to midnight Cushendall, Northern Ireland
The sixteen ESP members who were resident in Bill Drummonds Curfew Tower during 2011 will present their findings and, as part of the Heart of the Glens Festival, compete for the publics vote and prize for the best artwork.

All Change
Eastside Projects is an exhibition space with many differences. It is a free, public space that is being imagined and organised by artists and designers. We commission and present experimental contemporary art practices, and propose ways in which art may be useful to society. From 30 July to 6 October the gallery is only open for events and screenings. See www.eastsideprojects.org for full programme details 86 Heath Mill Lane, Birmingham, B9 4AR We are delighted to announce that Elinor Morgan has been appointed as ESP Programmer and will take over from Elizabeth Rowe in September.
