CompostRave

Join us for the grand celebration of The Making of CompostRave! This event shares the work made in the VJ Clew workshops and the journey into soil, sound, and sensory discovery, bringing the project to life in an evening of music and light.

Experience live visual art from VJ Clew, who will translate the organic rhythms and light frequency experiments of the process into dynamic, real-time projections. Along with sets from local DJs, the evening merges science, art, and dancefloor energy to celebrate everything built throughout the series.

About Andrew and his Blank Canvas Residency

An artist-organiser, curator, educator, and researcher, Andrew Gryf Paterson explores how art, digital culture, ecology, and community activism connect. Originally from Scotland and based in Finland for over 25 years, Andrew’s international practice centers on collaborative, commons-oriented projects. They have also been vermi-composting alongside earthworms (Eisenia fetida) for a decade, and debut as VJ Clew. Explore their archived work at http://agryfp.info or follow @agryfp.

During the Blank Canvas residency at the MAKE studio in Ayr, Andrew will build a local vermi-composting site in partnership with local residents and Eisenia fetida worms. Starting with gathered bedding materials and organic waste from the SHAPE café, they will build a growing compost bin system alongside public workshops on worm composting, circular bio-waste systems, and VJing culture. The residency will culminate in CompostRave, a live celebration featuring VJs, a DJ, and dancing to mark the end of the month long residency.
