Sense of Place
Exciting new interactive exhibition at the McManus
A Sense of Place is an exciting interactive exhibition at the McManus Gallery. It encourages visitors to use their smart phones in order to discover more about Dundee as they go on an interactive trail around the museum.
A Silvered Light
Scottish photography exhibition unveiled at the McManus
Featuring the work of over 50 photographers collected over the last 28 years by Dundee city’s permanent collection, A Silvered Light is also being held at the McManus Gallery and has even been endorsed by our very own Lord Provost.
Discovery – Dundee Photographic Society
Life through a lens: Dundonian photography exhibition opens
Another photo exhibition but this one has pictures taken as far away as the Antarctic. Put on by the Dundee Photographic Society, which has been around since 1880, the exhibition is being held in the Discovery Point Cafe Gallery.
Carnaby Market Fair (Saturday only)
Second hand but second to none – the Carnaby Market Fair
A unique fair selling homemade and handcrafted goods that are sure to make a great impression as Valentine’s Day fast approaches. It’s being held in the Rose Angle Arts Cafe – which means you’ll also be able to get a lovely wee munch if you attend.
Disrupting the Alignment At Intervals
Change the way you see Asia at a brand new exhibition
Disrupting the Alignment is a fascinating examination of social issues in Pakistan from one of the country’s leading contemporary artists and At Intervals is a satellite exhibition discussing similar ideas. If you’re interested head to the Cooper Gallery.
Thomson and Craighead: Maps, DNA and Spam
Back where it all began – Craighead and Thomson
The recently installed exhibition at the DCA is a unique examination of the way that communications networks like the worldwide web are changing the way we relate to the world around us. Plus one of the artists responsible actually studied in Dundee so they’re pretty much local.
The Night of the Hunter (Sunday only)
The best of Bob Mitchum as Night of the Hunter hits the DCA
A classic film if ever there was, The Night of the Hunter stars Bob Mitchum, first came out in 1955 and is showing for one time only this weekend at the DCA
Live from the Bolshoi: Lost Illusions (Sunday only)
Dundee Contemporary Arts
Showing at the DCA, Lost Illusions is a new ballet composed in 2011 in Moscow about a budding composer whose desire for success blinds him.
