Ingleby Gallery
The Ingleby Gallery is located in a Georgian townhouse on the eastern edge of Edinburgh's New Town. On foot it is a fifteen minute walk from Waverley train station: from Waverley steps turn right and walk to the end of Princes Street, carrying on along Waterloo Place and then taking a left turn onto Regent Terrace [walking past the American Embassy] and following the road for 5 minutes or so.
Opening hours: During the Eight Days programme, the Gallery is open daily 10am - 5pm during exhibition dates
| Ingleby Gallery: New Space Opens 1st August 2008
This summer Ingleby Gallery celebrates its 10th anniversary and will move to a new building in the heart of Edinburgh at 15 Calton Road, behind the main train station. Comprising 3 floors (a total of 6000 square feet) overlooking platform 2 of Waverley Station, it will be the largest private gallery in the UK, outside London.
For the last ten years Ingleby Gallery has occupied the ground floor of a Georgian town house and has established a reputation for exhibitions that exceed, in the scale of their achievement and ambition, that of the premises in which they have been shown. The gallery has worked hard to build a market for serious contemporary art within Scotland, and in doing so has helped to secure the reputations of Scottish artists, both at home and abroad. It has also introduced senior international figures to a Scottish audience, and has been the first gallery here, either public or private, to show work by Vija Celmins, Eduardo Chillida, Ellsworth Kelly, Sean Scully and James Turrell. The gallery has also been recognised for its curatorial imagination, presenting juxtapositions that challenge and surprise, and our ongoing 2007/8 exhibition programme of 26 ‘pairings’, (one artist nominating the companion of their choice) has caught the attention of art critics around the country.
From August 2008 Ingleby Gallery will, finally, have a venue to match the scale of its ambition. This new space will allow a presentation of an exhibition programme in several parts. Six exhibitions will be staged yearly in the gallery on the 1st floor, with a concurrent series of six smaller shows in a second gallery space at street level that will allow the flexibility to work with artists at an earlier stage in their career. There will also be a permanent space devoted to an ever-changing display of prints and editions enabling the gallery to grow its own publishing activities, including a new print each quarter to mark the gallery’s Billboard for Edinburgh project, in which international artists will be commissioned to make work for an advertising hoarding on the outside wall of the new building. This billboard/print will also be realised as a postcard, to honour Ian Hamilton Finlay’s premise that an idea can be effective whether communicated large or small.
