In this exhibition I presented a substantial group of 8 works including several paintings made on catalogue pages, and paintings made on other found surfaces including a world map, a photograph and sheet music.
The curators of the exhibition have said ‘This wide-ranging and multi-media exhibition will comprehensively present and critically address a broad selection of different artistic interpretations of the dark and disturbing forces which stalk the Scottish psyche and trouble our Scottish society. […] artistic responses have taken a wide variety of richly inventive forms- from the out-and-out horrific and psychologically disturbing to the darkly satirical and comically farcical. […]”
Artists include Beagles & Ramsay, John Bellany, Christine Borland, Boyle Family, Steven Campbell, Robert Colquhoun, Ken Currie, Alan Davie, Graham Fagen, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Helen Flockhart, Luke Fowler, Douglas Gordon, Lys Hansen, Kevin Harman, Louise Hopkins, Georgia Horgan, William Johnstone, John Kirkwood, Shona Macnaughton, Chad McCail, Jonathan Owen, Eduardo Paolozzi, Katie Paterson, Julie Roberts, David Shrigley, Simon Starling, Kerry Stewart, Peter Thomson, William Turnbull
On the 18th of June 2016 Edinburgh College of Art in association with Dovecot Gallery hosted a one-day conference in association with the exhibition with keynote speaker Prof. Katy Deepwell (Middlesex Uni, London).
