#CABNBulletin The Debatable Land Exhibition by Peter Sacks 12.00noon - 4.00pm, Friday 25th July 2014 - Sunday 5th October 2014 (closed 2nd & 3rd August) Traquair House, Innerleithen Beyond Borders Scotland and Edinburgh Printmakers present a ground-breaking new artwork inviting Scots to dig into their past, and discuss and discover their own identity, which will be exhibited at Traquair House this year from 26 July to 5 October. ‘The Debatable Land’ by South African painter-poet Peter Sacks takes the form of a 7ft high, 12ft wide triptych, which Sacks describes as “monumental yet intimate”, and will be on show in the early eighteenth century pavilions at Traquair House. The work is commissioned by Mark Muller Stuart, director of Beyond Borders Scotland, an organisation dedicated to facilitating international cultural dialogue. In association with Traquair House, the Edinburgh Printmakers will be presenting the exhibition as part of a two-year project (the first part Reflective Histories taking place in 2012) supported by Creative Scotland. The commission follows Peter Sacks’ extraordinary appearance at the Beyond Borders International Festival at Traquair last year, where he mesmerised audiences with his lyrical grasp of Border Ballads and talk on his search for his own Scottish identity.
