Alasdair Richmond teaches philosophy at Edinburgh University. He’s interested in time, space and philosophy of science. He mainly researches the philosophy of time travel. He never got over failing to win John Menzies’ ‘Dr. Who Monster Painting Competition’ 1976.
Hall of Hours explores time through Robert Powell’s unique imagery capturing humanity’s complexity, grandeur, and folly in intricate and thought-provoking compositions. Inspired by medieval Books of Hours, this multimedia exhibition features prints, sculpture, sound installation and animation, reflecting on how we experience, order and preserve time.
