Edvard Munch: Graphic Works from The Gundersen Collection
Date Location
(3 stars) It's the face that launched ten thousand angst-ridden diaries by visually-literate teenagers: Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' was its creator's iconic image (he did several versions of it over the years) and one of the only prints hand-tinted by Munch himself is coming to Modern Two this summer, along with a generous selection of other prints by the master Expressionist.

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.

Here he runs a series of participatory tours of Edinburgh which encourage you to interact with the city in different ways. Part of Edinburgh Art Festival. Booking is essential.
