Edinburgh Art Festival 2025 – At Edinburgh Printmakers
Artist Robert Powell shares a window into his playful and satirical world with an immersive installation at Edinburgh Printmakers Robert Powell: Hall of Hours at Edinburgh Printmakers until 2 November explores time through Powell's unique imagery capturing humanity's complexity, grandeur, and folly in intricate and thought-provoking compositions. Inspired by medieval Books of Hours, this multimedia exhibition featuring prints, sound installation and animation reflects on how we experience, order and preserve time and features a 4.5m high city sized non-numerical clock that explores time as an experiential concept Drawing on the socially critical works of Hogarth, Bosch, Ensor, Goya and Japanese Ukiyo-e artists of the Edo period, Powell's wit, surgical eye and grasp of human history sets him apart Robert Powell: Hall of Hours will be one of two exhibitions Edinburgh Printmakers will showcase as part of the 2025 Edinburgh Art Festival from 7 – 24 August. Speaking ahead of the exhibition artist Robert Powell said: 'When my young son turned one he developed an obsession with clocks and seeing this I was reminded what magical objects they are. They measure time but because time is such an ineffable thing they actually seem to embody it. There's a crossover between the inexplicable and inexpressible and the physical, tangible world. From the iPhone to renaissance automata or the Astronomical Clock in Prague there's something quite fascinating about them. So thinking about time as something that is experienced rather than measured I wanted to create this guide through time, a vast human driven clock drawing from medieval manuscripts like the Book of Hours. Creating these works I have been mindful of the effect of climate change on time, the sense of history following along a particular telic trajectory to an end point in the future. Of the seasons being put out of joint so there are no more natural markers of time, and the fear that the end of the clock is imminent.' Edinburgh Printmakers CEO Janet Archer said: 'Hall of Hours is an epic undertaking by the artist Robert Powell and we are delighted that the scale and ambition of his work can be fully realised in this solo exhibition. The intricate detail, exploration of the human condition and rich layers of visual storytelling will demand repeated visits as audiences see and discover ever more layers and nuance in the artists' work. This solo exhibition also showcases the potential for using the medium of printmaking as a starting point for a multifaceted exhibition featuring sculpture, animation and sound installation.' Mark Daniels, Executive Director New Media Scotland said: 'Back in 2014 our Alt-w Fund first supported Robert's practice to create 'The Thinking Machine' with Hadi Mehrpouya. This veritable box of delights opened our eyes to Robert's practice and when Aberdeen Performing Arts provided the opportunity to support his practice again, wejumped at the chance. 'Chronoscope' dramatically scaled Robert's capacity for world building, and now at Edinburgh Printmakers our journey through time has a whole new momentum.' Robert Powell: Hall of Hours supported by New Media Scotland's Alt-w Fund runs from 1 August to 2 November in Gallery 1 at Edinburgh Printmakers and is part of the Edinburgh Art Festival (7 – 21 August). Hall of Hours is a new body of work that expands on the themes contained within a previous work, Chronoscope, an animated clock co-commissioned by Aberdeen Performing Arts and New Media Scotland's Alt-w Fund with investment from Creative Scotland in 2022. Robert Powell and Edinburgh Printmakers have continued to collaborate with Mark Daniels at New Media Scotland to realise this new exhibition. Running concurrently in Gallery 2 at Edinburgh Printmakers is Aqsa Arif: Raindrops of Rani, a solo exhibition using film, printmaking, photography, and poetry exploring dual heritage, migration, and cultural dissonance, drawing inspiration from folklore, mythology, and cinema.

‘Breathtaking' desert island movie with rare Rotten Tomatoes score is streaming for free
One of the best animated movies in years with top scores from critics has just been added to BBC iPlayer BBC iPlayer has just added a critically acclaimed animated film that is guaranteed to knock your socks off. Based on one of the most popular children's books ever written, this beloved tale of adventure and friendship has been brought to life in stunning hand-drawn animation that harkens back to classic Disney films. Following its broadcast on BBC One this afternoon (Sunday, 3rd August), this heart-racing journey of discovery will be available to stream completely free of charge for a limited time. Viewers can be assured of the film's quality as it scored an impressive 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Even better, the film's runtime clocks in at a breezy hour and 16 minutes, making it the ideal watch for a lazy afternoon. Kensuke's Kingdom, based on the acclaimed 1999 novel by Michael Morpurgo, follows the thrilling voyage of a young boy (voiced by Aaron MacGregor) at sea who eventually finds himself stranded on a desert island. Thankfully, he soon discovers he's not alone. The boy, along with his dog Stella Artois, strikes up an unlikely friendship with a Japanese man named Kensuke (Ken Watanabe) and the orangutans who have made the island their home, who help him survive. Although not able to speak much English, Kensuke slowly reveals his own tragic life story of fleeing Japan during the terrors of the Second World War. This poignant tale is perfect for families with slightly older children keen to get sucked into an epic journey of adventure, history and survival. An audience review on Rotten Tomatoes described Kensuke's Kingdom as 'a breathtakingly beautiful film that's gentle on the senses as its delicately delivered themes.' A five-star Google review agreed, writing: 'Magical and emotionally powerful film that deserves to become a family classic. 'Avoiding spoilers here is hard, but there is one drop of ink in the film that took my breath away and had my throat in knots. It's beautiful, powerful, emotional, yet comfortingly familiar. 'A film to cosy up on the sofa under a blanket with your favourite young family and rewatch every year to remember the important themes of anti-war and respect for nature that run through it. Beautiful film.' A third concurred, adding: 'Awesome movie with beautiful visuals and meaningful storytelling.' Praise continued over on Letterboxd, where one fan raved: 'Beautiful and full of heart! 'Simple, familiar concept but so well executed. It's Cast Away mixed with Avatar and shades of Planet of the Apes. 'Very good dosage between feel good and tragedy, had a smile on my face most of the time but I also had tears in my eyes twice.' Viewers were also impressed by the film's voice cast, which also includes Oppenheimer Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy and Paddington star Sally Hawkins. 'Went to the theatre to hear Cillian's voice and to have a fun time. Left sobbing uncontrollably,' one fan admitted. 'This film's message is so beautiful and moving, knowing that Cillian wanted to be part of this project makes me love him even more and I didn't even know that could be possible.' Kensuke's Kingdom is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Sip & Guzzle was named the best new cocktail bar in the U.S.
Once a year, some of the best bar talents from around the world make their way to New Orleans for the annual Tales of the Cocktail. The week-long conference celebrates all things in the cocktail and mixology world, with seminars and workshops, plus a bunch of raucous, after-hours pop-ups that spotlight talented teams. As much as a party it can be, the event is much more than a good time to imbibe. Ending the week of revelry, the conference closes with the Spirited Awards. For its 19th year, the annual award ceremony, held on July 24, honored excellence in the drink industry and recognized professionals, organizations and establishments that are shaping the hospitality community. This year, New York won big, nabbing one of the most coveted awards of the evening. This title of Best New U.S. Cocktail Bar award went to Shingo Gokan and Steve Schneider's bi-level cocktail bar, Sip & Guzzle. This is the second year in a row that a New York bar has received the honor, as last year's award went to Ignacio 'Nacho' Jimenez's rousing tequila and agave hotspot, Superbueno. This year's award winners thanked their team via Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sip&Guzzle (@sipandguzzlenyc) 'From a wild idea between Steve and Shingo — an odd couple with one shared dream — to now being named Best New U.S. Bar by the Spirited Awards! We are so honored and thankful for this recognition.' The post continued on, 'To our team: this win is yours. Your grit, creativity, and hustle made it all happen. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all of you.' This isn't the only accolade the West Village bar has accrued since its 2024 opening. Earlier this spring, the bar was listed on The World's Best list, 50 Best Bars in North America, debuting for the first time at number five. According to the publication, the bar was recognized for its 'Japanese beers, perfect highballs, and 'crushable' cocktails' at Guzzle and its 'sophisticated vibe' at Sip. We wholeheartedly agree, as the bar currently sits at number ten on our listing of the best bars in NYC, as we can't get enough of Sip's "precision-based cocktails" and Guzzle's rousing good time.
