What's On Scotland 25 Sep-2 Oct: Edge of Matter & more

Thought you'd seen the last of The Paper Factory? Think again. The enormous disused factory sitting on the outskirts of Corstorphine was taken over this summer by Hidden Door for their summer festival and this weekend, in collaboration with Visual Arts Scotland, they're putting on Edge of Matter, a showcase of visual art by 38 of Scotland's most cutting edge visual artists.

Featured artists include the likes of Ruaridh Litster-Campbell (pictured), Irene Aldazabal, Dora Zoi, Kiera Walsh, Maya Hall de Bueno and Rosie Andrew. The exhibition opens tonight with a wee launch performance, and runs 26-28 September 11am-4pm, and is free to visit. Go girl get on that tram!
