Spotlight on designer Reid
PERTH-based costume designer Alexander Reid is the subject of a new artwork by video artist Denis Mallon in the Theshold artspace at Perth Concert Hall. Reid, who was born in 1929 and died in 2002, had a long association with Scottish Opera as well as Perth Theatre and Mallon worked with photographer Douglas MacBride to animate the theatre's Reid-designed costume collection, using members of staff from Horsecross, which runs both venues, as models. The work, Invisible Master, runs alongside Residents, a photography project by Anne Binckebanck made with older people in West Lothian as part of Old Is The New Young for Luminate, Scotland's Creative Ageing Festival.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
