A tented village of Fringe venues is to be created on the gap site left by the Cowgate fire of 2002, which destroyed the Gilded Balloon. The idea was dreamed up by C Venues impressario Hartley Kemp and will include temporary cafés and bars as well as performance spaces.
New Glasgow-based visual arts organisation the Common Guild is to present its first event, a live performance by artist Martin Creed on Saturday 10 March. Creed’s ‘Words and Music’, which stems from his desire to ‘communicate somehow’ will be presented at the RSAMD’s New Atheneum theatre.
