The UNTITLED | Bad Entertainment

Scottish Portrait Gallery

Over the last year, our Outreach Team has invited ‘the next generation’ to make the kind of art that they would want to see, inspired by the work of contemporary artists. This challenging exhibition created by young people across Scotland, reveals both their personal stories and their take on society.
Working in response to GENERATION: 25 Years of Contemporary Art in Scotland, young people from Alloa, Irvine and Edinburgh, have made artworks and films that show their lives caught between the actuality of everyday experience and the fantasy world of media culture.
These new artists have smashed up the tactics and attitudes of contemporary art to make an installation that is ‘legitimately creepy’. They ask, ‘Are you sure?’ and encourage us to, ‘Take what you can…’, before they sketch out the rules by which they would want to live if the future was in their hands.
