LUST & The Apple is the new, biblically named venture of Paul Robertson, the former visual art curator of Summerhall in Edinburgh who abruptly left the venue last summer.
Lust & The Apple sees him shift operations to an old primary school in Temple, near Gorebridge, Midlothian for a typically adventurous programme set to be shown both inside and outside the building. Set to open on Friday February 13, the first season will feature The Potters Field by Alexander & Susan Maris, and Damocles, a major installation in the old school car park by Tim Sandys. The exhibitions run until April 20.
