Patrick Beveridge

‘I studied Fine Art at Edinburgh University and the Royal College of Art.  My light sculpture was included in Northern Lights,  a group exhibition at the Fruitmarket Gallery in 1997, which had, as its centre piece, an installation by James Turrell.

More recent work is about the movement of light across the sky and landscape, with one 16mm film distributed internationally by LUX in 2007. I was awarded an Artist International Development  Award by Arts Council England in 2017 to make a short film of the terrain in North Western Russia where Mikhail Prishvin’s traveled and wrote about in 1907, and commission a translation of the author’s descriptions of it in Za vol’shebnym kolobko. The first exhibition of the film was accompanied by a reading of the text by actors Evgeny Goman and Xenia Mari in the Murmansk House of the Actor (Union of Theatre Figures), STR.’ – Patrick Beveridge.
