Our September Spin event will meet at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art One for the second part of our discussion of GENERATION: 25 Years of Contemporary Art in Scotland. We will be joined by Lucy Askew and Julie-Ann Delaney, curators at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art who will join us to discuss the works on show.
The extensive exhibition, presented across three venues, celebrates the richness and diversity of contemporary art that has developed in Scotland over the last 25 years. Artists working in Scotland have achieved international acclaim and the vibrant art scene in this country continues to flourish. Over 30 artists will be represented, with significant works made at key moments in the last quarter-century shown alongside new pieces and installations.
At the Gallery of Modern Art, there are new installations by Claire Barclay, Ciara Phillips and Alex Dordoy as well as immersive large-scale works re-visited by artists including Ross Sinclair, Graham Fagen, Torsten Lauschmann and Simon Starling. The continued vitality of painting and drawing will be seen in the work of Victoria Morton, Lucy McKenzie and Charles Avery. Douglas Gordon’s celebrated 24 Hour Psycho will be among the video installations on show, as well as Smith/Stewart’s Breathing Space and Roderick Buchanan’s Sodastream.
