MA CATs Pecha Kucha

Slight technical issue - presentation will be up asap!

Welcome to our Master Cats Pecha Kucha!

INTRO (first 40 seconds)

Master CATS stands for Masters in and we are a group of eleven postgraduate curators who have come together to curate a group exhibition at the Talbot Rice gallery- our show opens on4^th June

Our exhibition is titled “They Do Things Differently There” and ultimately explores the disruption and delineation of time.

Each of us are in charge of an individual part of the exhibition, from head curators to install to education and gallery management.

For this pecha kucha we have each offered a small insight into our unique and diverse roles.

OUTRO (last 40 seconds)

Thank you for listening to our a little bit bonkers, collaborative pecha kucha.

Finally, my role is Education and as part of this position I have organised a series of events to make our curating process more transparent, including forcing everyone to be involved in this pecha kucha.

I think this pecha kucha exemplifies both the beauty and struggles of collaborating! ie getting 11 people to send in high res pictures and audio to a deadline.

Information on all our events and the exhibition itself can be found on our ever evolving blog:

We hope to see you all at our exhibition- “They Do Things Differently There” on the 4^th June!

We will be part of the 8th version of the Pecha Kucha Edinburgh event held at Inspace (1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9AB) on the 7th May at 7:30 pm. Please join us at what promises to be a very exciting event.

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. It is curated in Edinburgh by Gordon Duffy, Principal of architecture practice Studio DuB. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace.

Confirmed Participants: William Tunnell, Architect; Rene Looper, Social Mediaist; Neil Simpson, Architect; Chris Speed, Reader in Digital Space; Lucy Richards, Creative Director; Donald Urquhart, Artist; Angus Reid Writer/Filmmaker; Andrew Stoane, Architect; Andy Peel, Creative; "Masters in Contemporary Art Theory Students" - Laura Edbrook, Louise Thody, Maria Koumianou, Maria Sampedro, Rebecca Gilbert, Rocca Gutteridge, Steven Cox, Robby Ogilvie, Ruta Franke, Sarah Usher and Sarah Morris.
