A part of the Six Cities Design Festival, 17 May – 3 June 2007
This exhibition explores the dual nature of Edinburgh, a city whose physical development has been strongly linked to philosophical thought and literary movements. Edinburgh has a schizophrenic nature, caught between the rational and the irrational, nostalgia and modernity, the urban and the natural. Northern City re-presents Edinburgh through four collaborations between leading Scottish architectural practices and award winning artists. Participants include: Metis; Mark Dorrian + Adrian Hawker; Victoria Clare Bernie; GROSS. MAX; Nathan Coley; Dalziel + Scullion; Sutherland Hussey Architects.
The Northern City exhibition, originally shown in the Lighthouse, Glasgow has been re-presented as a series of installations across the city of Edinburgh for the Six Cities Festival. All are situated within the city centre of Edinburgh and can be visited within one day. All venues have free entry. Venues include: The National Portrait Gallery, The Scottish Parliament, The roof of the MWB Business Centre, St Andrew’s Square and St Giles Cathedral.
