See new displays by Louise Bourgeois, Helen Chadwick and Robert Mapplethorpe at the National Galleries Scotland and experience their innovative, playful, and sensuous work, each offering distinctive and diverse approaches to the ideas of self-expression, identity, and the complexity of our inner life.
Visitors to the galleries at Modern One in Edinburgh will encounter Louise Bourgeois’s giant Spider 1994, Helen Chadwick’s provocative sculpture, Piss Flowers 1991-2, and Robert Mapplethorpe’s striking self-portraits.
ARTIST ROOMS presents the work of international artists in solo exhibitions drawn from a national touring collection jointly owned by Tate and National Galleries of Scotland. Its programme reaches audiences across the UK and is developed through local partnerships. ARTIST ROOMS gives young people the chance to get involved in creative projects, to discover more about art and artists, and learn new skills.
The ARTIST ROOMS programme and collection is managed by Tate and National Galleries of Scotland with the support of Art Fund, Henry Moore Foundation and using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and Creative Scotland. Its founding collection was established through The d'Offay Donation in 2008 with the assistance of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, Art Fund and the Scottish and British Governments.
