Rough Cut Nation opens in Edinburgh
08.08.09 by Zeitgeist
Rough Cut Nation, a collective of young Scottish artists and we’re taking over Edinburgh’s prestigious Portrait Gallery.
As part of the Edinburgh Festival, the Rough Cut collaborative have created a dramatic installation; a remixed version of Scottish history inspired by William Hole’s 1890’s artworks.
Forget the stuffy conformity of a National Gallery - you won’t find any gilded frames or hushed silences here; you might however stumble across a suitcase full of spray paint and a MacBook blaring out some hypnotic mixed-up beats.
The artwork is translated through street art and graffiti culture; imagery is spray painted, pasted, projected and embedded directly into the walls of the gallery.
The exhibition is now officially open. Pop past the National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh.
