The sequence begins where we left off - with Marine Hugonnier, the artist whose exhibition closed prematurely at the gallery in Edinburgh a few weeks ago. That presentation showcased her most recent 'Travel Posters', but for 'The Unseen Masterpiece' we delve into her archive for a note of unbridled optimism in a previously unpublished photograph from 2001 which (like all photographs) captures a fragment of the past, whilst simultaneously offering a quite literal glimpse of the future – 'Towards Tomorrow' – an image photographed across 53 miles of the Bering Strait, over the international date line, to a place where it is always tomorrow.

The exhibition that had to close early was our first solo show of Marine’s work, although her relationship with the gallery goes back to 2007 when she took part in our year-long sequence 'Eight Days', and in the summer of 2013 she became the 20th artist to make a work for the public art project 'Billboard for Edinburgh' that ran on the outside of our building from 2008-2016.
