This 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 National Gallery, Steven Campbell's On Form and Fiction and Martin Boyce's Our Love is Like the Flowers, the Rain, the Sea and the Hours will be restaged. Also on show will be a room of canvases by Callum Innes, video works by Rosalind Nashashibi, an installation by Christine Borland, and sculptures and woodcuts by David Shrigley, while Karla Black will create a new sculptural piece.

At the Gallery of Modern Art there will be new installations by Claire Barclay, Ciara Phillips and Alex Dordoy as well as immersive large-scale works by 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 Roddy Buchanan's Sodastream.

At the Portrait Gallery, Luke Fowler's 2012 film The Poor Stockinger, the Luddite Cropper and the Deluded Followers of Joanna Southcott will be shown in Scotland for the first time.
