Inspired by In Time, Annie Cattrell RSA’s curated element of the 200th Annual Exhibition, we invite you to join a walking tour led by local geologist Dr Angus Miller. Starting at the Royal Scottish Academy, we will reflect on the dynamic geology around our building at the Mound, Princes Street Gardens and the Old Town as we follow James Hutton’s footsteps on a journey through time. Each walk will be approximately 90 minutes in duration.
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 beside 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. Sam Ainsley RSA has also been invited to design the external banners.
Saturday 23 May and Monday 8 June, 10am and 1pm
