Andrew Miller: The Waiting Place
Date Location
Andrew Miller's contribution to the Edinburgh Art Festival is the pavilion itself, intended as a tribute to those small buildings (pavilions, bothies, follies, gazebos) that are built for no one particular purpose. It's a playful summerhouse designed to be multi-purpose, good for hosting discussions, talks and tours and simply for being somewhere to hang out while you're waiting to meet people. The title is from Dr Seuss's classic Oh The Place You'll Go. Part of Edinburgh Art Festival.
