 Schools across Dundee will receive a visit from the Travelling Gallery this month, as the custom-built art gallery in a bus arrives with its latest exhibition ‘Re/trato’. The gallery will be showing an international selection of artwork, with exhibits from as far away as Colombia and Australia. All of the works are either portraits or use the human figure.
Pupils will be able to climb aboard the bus to see work by eight artists, including a hypnotic video of a skateboarder beside Bondi Beach by Shaun Gladwell, sculpture by Kenny Hunter, a video by Oscar Munoz which shows the artist painting a self portrait with water which evaporates as he paints, and distinctive bronze figures by Francis Upritchard.
The gallery will spend two weeks visiting primary and secondary schools. (See itinerary below):
Monday 21st April - Baldragon Academy
Tuesday 22nd April - Lawside Academy
Wednesday 23rd April - Grove Academy
