Versatility found among abstracted oil and pastel pieces of Edinburgh artist

30 Aug 2011

Edinburgh artist Muzni treats the eyes in this collection of life works focusing on the female nude, constantly striving to keep his approach as fresh as the colours that make up his delicately abstracted oil and pastel pieces. The use of pastel is a…

Breathtaking exploration of both photography and science

Painter and playwright at 2011 Edinburgh Art Festival

24 Aug 2011

Edvard Munch: Graphic Works from The Gundersen Collection
Date	Location
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. Expect high security: 'The Scream', in its various media, is one of the most-stolen pictures in art history. Part of Edinburgh… View full details

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. View full details

Anthony Schrag: Tourist in Residence
Date	Location
Anthony Schrag's work has a subversive wit; an early video, Stairs, features him walking up the underside of a flight of stars in his block of flats, filmed with an upside-down video camera, so that a person walking down the stairs normally appears to be upside-down. 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. View full details
