DON’T MISS

Tim Taylor, a moonlighting architect, or moonlighting artist, depending on which day you happen to catch him, presents his Sacred Vessels, a series of 52 matchstick-models of water towers whose forms are taken in exacting detail from the seminal black and white photographs of Bernd and Hilla Becher.

The models themselves are exquisite, fascinating things, miniature insights into the world of the Becher’s Wasserturme, into the curiosities of the structures created to hold one of our most vital elements. Two new video works are also shown, centred around water leakage and its status as a primal element.

Murray compiles detailed snapshots of fictional plants, filling paper bags with samples and sketches, working up a world with a backstory, and while I was not always convinced about the reasoning, the whole is very well executed.

There is more art going on, as ever, off the long hallways of Summerhall. Next door, Mark Pulsford reimagines Tintoretto in a blur of pastel and charcoal, whilst upstairs the Visual Arts Scotland showcase of graduate work is very well worth a look.

Downstairs, Fritz Welch makes work for the space in the basement, although it was off limits during my visit due to installations going on for the new batch of summer shows.
