Reflections: A Programme of New and Changing Displays
Mar 14, 2015 - Jan 10, 2016
Throughout 2015, the ground floor of Modern One is hosting a dynamic and changing set of displays showcasing the work of a diverse range of internationally-renowned contemporary artists. Major works from the Gallery’s permanent collection, alongside an ARTIST ROOMS display of works by Roy Lichtenstein and temporary loans will highlight the varied ways artists have reflected on the world around them – raising questions about society, the human form, materials, image-making and art itself. Displays will include works by Louise Lawler, Taryn Simon, Cathy Wilkes, Martin Creed, Gabriel Orozco and Abraham Cruzvillegas, amongst others. At the heart of this new presentation will be a selection of over 50 drawings, prints and photographs of the human head, drawn from the National Galleries of Scotland’s historic as well as modern and contemporary collections, and featuring the recently acquired cubist drawing by Pablo Picasso, Head 1912. These will show the amazing variety of how artists have seen and depicted the part of the body we know best.
