Extra event: 'Stone circles: narratives of seeing'.

Talk by cultural historian Elizabeth Curtis. Starts at 1.30pm, admission free

On Doors Open Day Elizabeth Curtis of the University of Aberdeen will give a talk about stone circles and the many different ways people see and respond to them. The talk fits in with Peacock visual arts' current exhibition ‘Awl-love. New work by Stuart Gurden’.

'Awl-love', an exhibition of contemporary artworks, is centred on a new video film and explores the popularisation of Aberdeenshire's many recumbent stone circles, and their 'recuperation' by various, competing interests. The film is exhibited alongside related works on paper, a photograph and cast bronze objects.
