Combining new commissions as well as developments of existing works, GENERATION: TG will include ceramics, textile wall hangings, digital animations, drawings, sculptures, film, performance and song. The exhibition focuses on what it is like to be a contemporary visual artist in Scotland and includes a film (produced in collaboration with Screen Education Edinburgh) and pupils from 3 Edinburgh schools, will show the artists talking about their work in the exhibition and their experiences of being an artist in Scotland today.
The artists included in the exhibition are Laura Aldridge, Craig Coulthard, Mandy McIntosh, Hanna Tuulikki and David Sherry.
The Travelling Gallery is a mobile contemporary art gallery custom-built in a big beautiful bus. Exhibitions are curated specifically for the unique space and are designed to travel the length and breadth of Scotland visiting schools, high streets, community centres and many other venues on the way. Travelling Gallery staff will be available to give formal and not so formal presentations on the exhibitions at every stop and the exhibiting artists will give a programme of talks, workshops, and performances throughout the tour.
Part of GENERATION, a landmark series of exhibitions celebrating 25 years of contemporary art in Scotland.
