Pittenweem Arts Festival 2018

Part of the undoubted charm of the longstanding Pittenweem Arts Festival is discovering art in a huge variety of unexpected venues. In many cases the art is enhanced by its setting in what are normally domestic or commercial interiors. Add in the possibility of enjoying a lobster roll beside the harbour to sustain you between Read More

Life in Motion: Egon Schiele/Francesca Woodman

The rationale behind exhibiting the Austrian artist Egon Schiele (1890 – 1918) with the American photographer Francesca Woodman (1958 – 1981) is, to quote Tate Liverpool, that they are “sublimely innovative artists that connect across time and medium.” Wandering through the gallery there’s an immediate sense of kindred spirits, in the ease with which the Read More

Paolozzi Revealed: Ten days with a creative Titan

Picking up Paolozzi Revealed, I did expect a window into the private life of this creative titan. Instead, this summary of a Masterclass run by the renowned sculptor reads more like a research paper on creativity.

Degree shows are such fun but can be exhausting. I therefore recommend heading to Level 5 in the Crawford building at the start of your visit; it would be a shame otherwise to find yourself here at a point when you are running out of steam or time. This floor offers a true multisensory experience, Read More

Illustration

The Illustration Department’s show can be located on the lowest level of the Crawford building in a pair of studio rooms with walls lined with prints and pedestals tendering ceramics, woodcuts and textiles. The sleek polish of the comic books, books and even beer branding has the air of a commercial showcase. An industry consciousness Read More

Patterns of Migration: An Exhibition of Illustrations by Laura Darling

When illustrator, Laura Darling, took a part-time job at the Dundee International Women’s Centre to support her practice as an illustrator, she had no idea that her experience would inspire her first solo exhibition.
