Version Galore: All Art comes from other Art

RSA President’s Room and Corridor (by request)

Mon-Sat 10am-5pm, Sun 12-5pm

Please note: Version Galore will be closed on Wednesday 17 April, 10am - 2pm, and on Monday 22 April, 10am - 1pm. 

 

Version Galore brings together works by third year students at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA), created in response to the Royal Scottish Academy’s Collections.

 

Students at ECA were given the unique opportunity by lecturer Kenny Hunter RSA to research and study RSA Collections first-hand. The RSA collection was established almost 200 years ago and contains over 10,000 artworks today. It is a dynamic, growing collection built by artists for artists.

 

Each student artist was asked to select and respond to an individual work by making their own interpretation of it, either homage, copy, influence or critique. The resulting works on view in Version Galore will be accompanied by some of the items from the RSA Collection that informed their inspiration.
