Alexander Heim: Doves
Date Location
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.
31 Jul–13 Sep Tue–Fri 10.00am–6.00; Sat 12.00–5.00 doggerfisher, Edinburgh
Andrew Grassie
Date Location
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.
1 Aug–27 Sep 10.00am–5.00; Sun 2.00–5.00 Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh
Richard Hamilton: Protest Pictures
Date Location
Retrospective giving an (incomplete) idea of just how influential the great British pop artist has been. His critiques of the way mass media communicates politics might now seem commonplace, but this is a good reminder of just who pioneered those techniques in the first place.
Tuesdays–Sundays 10.00am–5.30 Royal Botanic Garden (Inverleith House), Edinburgh
The Golden Record: Sounds of Earth
Date Location
In 1977, Dr Carl Sagan of NASA sent two records full of sounds and images designed to convey Earth life to aliens. Using the same images and sounds as stimulus, the Collective has commissioned 116 artists, musicians, comedians and theatre-makers to respond. There are some good gags here, but it's a one-joke premise.
1 Aug–13 Sep, not Sundays, Mondays 11.00am–6.00 (1 Sep–13 Sep 12.00–5.00) Collective Gallery, Edinburgh
I Fly Spitfires
Date Location
The gig/club crossover hosts a live triple bill from Dartz!, Cry Over Billionaires and Super Adventure Club.
17 Sep 11.00–3.00am The GRV, Edinburgh
Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller
Date Location
A first chance for Scottish audiences to experience the work of one of the most internationally-respected artist partnerships. Six different, immersive installation works which combine image, video, sound and music, as well as architectural and sculptural installation, draw audiences into a highly credible fictional world and evoke a sense of childlike wonder. Go early, and allow yourself at least an hour. Sheer delight.
31 Jul–28 Sep Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh
Seasick Steve
Date Location
Vagrant American bluesman accompanying himself on a two-stringed guitar and a wooden box.
23 Oct 7.30 Music Hall, Aberdeen
Singing Stone
Date Location
An exhibition featuring recent work by Emily Young, one of the UK's foremost carvers of stone. 'Part of the Edinburgh Art Festival'
1 Aug–6 Sep Mon–Fri 10.00am–6.00; Sat 11.00am–4.00 Bourne Fine Art, Edinburgh
Barrie: A Life in Stories
Date Location
Splinters perform the life of Peter Pan creator JM Barrie through his own words. Audio described performance on 28 Aug.
3 Oct 8.00 Wynd Theatre, Melrose
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.
1 Aug–24 Sep Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh
