(Recovery of the first scaffolding for the construction of the monument to Henry Dundas, alias Lord Melville in St. Andrew Square: a support structure put in place owing to the risk of imminent collapse) en Interview Room 11 Gallery (43 Pennywell Road. EH4 4QR Edinburgh) www.ir11.org.uk/
An ephemeral structure surrounds the monument in honour of Henry Dundas in St Andrew Square, in the economic centre of the city. Taking this as a starting point, a story that depicts the relationship between the monument and the provisional support structure is created.
The towering stone column stands as a metaphor for a power struggle. It conveys an ideology and occupies a symbolic space. The temporary armature made of wood harks back to the very beginnings of this monumental project. It highlights the nature of the monument-to-be, hinting at the collapse of this outsized column.
While the urban icon still remains in the middle of the square, a disused supermarket on the outskirt of the city will serve as an exhibition space. This show seeks to question the urban structure, the planning laws and by-laws guidelines allowed the project to proceed, and the changes that the symbols are suffering.
The sculpture is surrounded by a provisional structure, an empty framework that creates a threshold, a space that extends the centre of the square. The wooden structure does not come into contact with the solid stone of the monument, but it just approaches without actually touching; it seems to be embracing for afar. Once the announced collapse is fulfilled, the column, now turned into stone ruins, can continue to be ‘re-built’ into the vacated space.
The wooden armature is presented as a way to build desires. It is brittle and separated from power only a few centimetres; like a utopia, a tenacious desire that always fails but resists thanks to the fact that it seems to fulfil a function:
Do not let columns drop.

The artist Jacobo Bugarín visits Edinburgh to carry out a specific project in the new space of Interview Room 11 Gallery. This space, on the outskirts of the Scottish capital, belonged to a well-known supermarket chain. After being abandoned, it was converted into studios for artists by the Interview Room 11 team. The Galician artist will exhibit in the building, still in the process of rehabilitation, to create an installation that belongs to and is in a dialogue with the building. Part of the exhibition will also refer to the monument on St Andrew Square where Bugarín visited in Edinburgh during his first trip to the city.
Jacobo Bugarín questions the traditional modes of representation and receptivity. He proposes a modification to perceiving a specific context/reality through an analysis and/or alteration of the relationships that exist between its elements. It makes a difference to know the systems of relations that intervene in the structuring our perception, and the goal is to make the viewer aware of this. The affections, the distance, the empathy, the superposition of structures or the externalisation of the discourse are some concepts on which his latest works of artistic research are based.
Bugarín had already been part of an exhibition at Interview Room 11, The Oracle, in 2014. In his career, he has participated in solo shows, including those in Baleiro and Zona C, in Santiago de Compostela, the Niémeyer Center in Avilés and the recent exhibition at Laboral de Gijón. He also participated in numerous group exhibitions, such as Velar y desvelar at the Museum of Contemporary Art Gas Natural Fenosa and Project Moscow at the Galician Center for Contemporary Art (CGAC).
This project is supported by Acción Cultural Española (PICE, Programme for the Internationalization of Spanish Culture).
Furthermore, the gallery thanks for the generous help of Indaba Deli. Spanish and South African Food and Bodega Soul. Spanish Wine from Small Producers
We will also host the album launch ‘1.4’ by the Edinburgh electronic music collective Bless This Machine, with an exhibition and a performance, starting at 8pm.

An alternate of this shot where Oracle meets Batman. It looks like they're inside the Matrix or something. Oracle is played by none other than the awesome Toaster Cat.
