An indoorwaterfall, a bear pit and some northern soul music played on a church organ. In what is probably the gallery's most ambitious project to date, Dundee Contemporary Arts has opened not only its own white spaces but also a whole load of other doors in the city forOur Surroundings, a series of seven artist projects that respond to modern Dundee.
American artist MarkDion has created a new pavilion for visitors to the bear enclosure at Camperdown Wildlife Park.
Matt Stokes has immersed himself in the Dundee music scene, staging a northern soul night in the beautiful surroundings of St Salvado's Church in Hilltown and arranging organ recitals of soul, house and heavy metal favourites.
Jordan Baseman has been following events at Dundee's satellite receiving station.
The highlight, though, has to be a newwork by Olafur Eliasson, whose Weather Project - an indoor glowing orange sun at Tate Modern - became Britain's most visited contemporary art event.
ForDundee, he will create an indoorwater feature, proving that while Scotland may be damp, Dundee is adventurous rather than dreich.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
