Scottish National Portrait Gallery Closed for Refurbishment Open for Exhibition |
|
The gallery is temporarily closed for refurbishment. However the room in which major exhibitions are normally staged is to re-open for three weeks during the Edinburgh Festival, 2009, so that viewers can see the 'Rough Cut Nation' exhibition. The National Galleries of Scotland describes this exhibition: "Artists involved in Rough Cut Nation' will take as thier starting point William Hole's original decorative mural scheme, which fills the entrance hall with figures and events from Scotland's past. They will use the full armory of street-art techniques, including spray paint, stencils, stickers, emulsion, rollers, brushes, pens, digital projections and fly-posters to create a temporary, multilayered, wall-based installation in the now empty Gallery space."
