The Art of the Future

Past event at National Gallery

Sat 21 Apr

Entry from free

Young people from across Scotland deliver an imaginative and innovative response to the question, what is the ‘art of the future’? Their original artworks are the outcome of a ‘mail art’ project, which got young Scots talking about the issues that are shaping their futures. The display, which mimics a mail order warehouse, includes a brave street performance about mental health, an inventive short film about the perils of social media, and an ‘unbearable teenager’. The artworks were created from materials delivered to the participants via a contemporary art ‘tool kit' in a box.
