British Art Show 8

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is thrilled to be taking part in the eighth British Art Show which is showing across three galleries: Inverleith House, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh; Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (Modern One) and Talbot Rice Gallery, University of Edinburgh.

Curated by Anna Colin and Lydia Yee, British Art Show 8 features the work of 42 artists who have made a significant contribution to art in Britain over the past five years. The result is a wide-ranging exhibition that encompasses performance, film, sculpture, installation, painting and design. Twenty-six of the 42 artists have produced new works for the exhibition, making this the most ambitious British Art Show to date.

Inverleith House will be host to exhibits by Caroline Achaintre, Pablo Bronstein, Nicolas Deshayes, Simon Fujiwara, Martino Gamper, Anthea Hamilton, Charlotte Prodger, James Richards, Patrick Staff, Bedwyr Williams and Jesse Wine.

Jesse Wine has created a newly-commissioned work for the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. He will present new ceramic sculptures that will be suspended from the ceiling in its famous Victorian Palm House.
