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

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

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

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

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

Kaiser Chiefs
Date	Location
The mighty Kaisers tour this year's album 'Off With Their Heads' offering more of their catchy indie rock songs that mix the anthemic and the witty.
17 Oct 7.00	Barrowland, Glasgow

21 Sep 7.30	Eden Court Theatre, Inverness

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

Barrie: A Life in Stories

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

Susan Collis
Date	Location
Cheeky installation by the upcoming Scottish artist playing on the building site from which the Ingleby Gallery has recently emerged. What appear to be rawl plugs and paint spatters are revealed to be precious stones.
31 Jul–24 Sep	Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh

Teeth
Date	Location
In a Texan small town high-schooler Dawn (Weixler) finds her pledged commitment to virginity threatened by a number of prospective lovers, and more so by set of razor-sharp teeth between her legs (vagina dentata). Despite a half hour of well-observed high-school alienation, 'Teeth' falls to the level of crude horror comedy long before the film's final cheap shot.
8 Sep Mon 7.30	Adam Smith Theatre, Kirkcaldy

Frances Richardson
Date	Location
In heavily-detailed drawings and the sculptures she calls 'walk-in drawings', Richardson examines the mindset of the compulsive gambler and the notion that the world's financial markets are built on anything more secure than just an extravagant, mathematically-abetted gamble. Such symbolism might be heavy-handed, but the work is articulate and impressively-made. 'Part of the Edinburgh Art Festival'
1 Aug–24 Oct Tue–Sat 11.00am–4.00	Corn Exchange Gallery, Edinburgh

Garbage Warrior
Date	Location
Hippie, sustainable housing architect and all round recycling guru Michael Reynolds presents his vision of self sufficiency in the future in this absorbing documentary.
16 Sep Tue 6.00	Filmhouse, Edinburgh

Kay Rosen: Huen
Date	Location
The first Scottish showing of work by American artist Kay Rosen is the inaugural exhibition at the Ingleby Gallery's new main space. Playful, but ultimately underwhelming, text pictures.
31 Jul–24 Sep Mon–Wed & Fri 10.00am–6.00; Thu 10.00am–7.00; Sat 10.00am–5.00	Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh

Slick
Date	Location
On the outskirts of town a destitute tenement looms above the only crude oil supply in Glasgow, a discovery that's about to rip its tiny, impoverished community apart. Literally. Broad new comedy from Glasgow-based company Vox Motus, using padded puppet bodies operated by two performers.
