The gentrification of Leith continues at a rapid pace: whilst The Shore has for some years now been a centre for those trendy chrome 'n' leather type bars and expensive looking restaurants, the area surrounding the actual docks has been slower to embrace the march of modernisation. Until now, that is. The beautiful old Corn Exchange building, which nestles at the foot of Constitution Street, was last year transformed into a stunning gallery and office space. Along with being home to Navyblue, the design specialists, the building's ground floor has dedicated space for emerging artists to display their work.

Having previously hosted only solo exhibitions, there is a great deal of excitement surrounding the launch of OPEN, the gallery's first ever group show. MA students at the Edinburgh College of Art were invited to submit works from any discipline, as long as they were no wider than 30cm and no taller than 200cm.

Students from all of the ECA's various departments took up the challenge, and the results are truly a sight worth seeing. Using a variety of different media, a range of disciplines are displayed, from the traditional to the modern. Paintings, prints, sculpture and video installations are all featured.

The competing approaches students from different disciplines have used to meet this brief are fascinating. Selkirk & Begg's response was to construct a concrete block entitled 'Allocated Space x2'. Others were determined to make a more personal statement with their work: Jana Liptak's 'A Poem for all My Lovers, Past and Future' is particularly striking, whilst Francesca Nobilucci went for an even more blunt statement with her work entitled 'Washing my dirty laundry in public'.

This exhibition provides a wonderful opportunity to view not only original works from the great artists of tomorrow, but a chance to explore one of Leith's most loved buildings, reborn for the 21st century.
