Alexander Heim: Doves

Lyrical, sophisticated first UK show by the young German artist, which pivots on a surprisingly simple video of pigeons outside a coffee shop, expanding its themes into photography and large sculpture.

Andrew Grassie

Survey exhibition of recent and new work, showcasing Grassie's deceptive photo-realist paintings of Modernist exhibitions. An exploration of the derivative nature of contemporary art which may amuse theorists but alienate the casual viewer.

Billboard for Edinburgh: Mark Wallinger
Date Location
The punchy sentence 'MARK WALLINGER IS INNOCENT', shouted out from the well placed Ingleby Billboard, is intriguing, but with little in-gallery material to explain it, it appears to be a meaningless pharse, disappointing from such an overtly political artist.
