The Scottish Endarkenment: Art and Unreason 1945 to Present

Join OCA tutor Wendy McMurdo on the 14 May in Edinburgh.
The Scottish Endarkenment: Art and Unreason 1945 to Present will form a major part of the important Edinburgh Arts Festival. The show runs from 13 May 2016 to 29 August 2016 at the Dovecot Gallery in Edinburgh.
‘This thematic exhibition provides a radically new and fascinating presentation of the shared concerns which have obsessed many of the most important Scottish artists since the end of World War Two. The Scottish Endarkenment explores a wide range of disturbing and provocative topics, from ever-escalating international conflict, social inequality and unrest, gender identity and sexual prejudice – all fired by the dialectical struggles within the Scottish psyche between good and evil, self and the Other. All these subjects are imaginatively treated within a variety of different interpretations and mediums – from the out-and-out horrific to the darkly satirical.’
This is an interdisciplinary, cross art-form show that would interest many OCA students. To reserve your place email enquiries@oca.ac.uk
