IN TIME
Curated by Annie Cattrell
Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture, Edinburgh
9 May-14 June 2026

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 explores 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 bicentennial exhibition.
