Starting at the Royal Scottish Academy Building we will reflect on the dynamic geology around our building at the Mound, Princes Street Gardens and the old town of Edinburgh as we follow James Hutton's footsteps on a journey through time.

 

In-Time

This significant year for the RSA also marks the tricentenary of the birth of James Hutton (1726–1797), the ‘father of modern geology’. Reflecting on our philosophical and physical foundations (with the building constructed on ancient volcanic rock), Cattrell’s curation will explore the RSA’s rich and layered development over time. She has invited artists interested in ideas of geology and the passage of time, including Martin Creed, James Geurts, Cathie Pilkington and Stephen Skrynka, to take part in the exhibition.
