Joni us on Saturday 10am to 1pm to meet artist Charles Young and view the exhibition of new works showcasing the results of a three-month artist residency in Leipzig funded by the Goethe-Institut in partnership with Leipzig International Art Programme. In Young’s playful take on Leipzig’s iconic eight-sided Kuhturm building, the artist reimagines the medieval tower as a sunlit, porous structure that evokes both a children’s wooden building set and a medieval military fortification in miniature that invites you to approach. In his play with scale, Young creates something poised between a larger-than-life playing block set and a building shrunk down to human size and takes you on a whimsical journey through layers of urban history, time, and space.
The artist will be present on Saturday morning only. The building is open 10am to 1pm.
Artist Charles Young studied architecture at Edinburgh College of Art. His Four-Colour Studies was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 2022.
