Rachel Maclean: Feed Me
SAT 13 MAY - SAT 26 AUG
MAIN GALLERY
The Main Gallery at the Dick Institute plays
host to Feed Me, a remarkable film work by
one of the most exciting young artists to
emerge in Scotland over the last few years.
Selected to represent Scotland in the 2017
Venice Biennale, Rachel Maclean graduated
from Edinburgh College of Art in 2009, and
has since become known for her fantastical
films, which often use satire to comment on
a broad range of contemporary issues.
Made with cinematic production values
and shown within an immersive cinematic
environment, the nightmarish, candy-
coloured world created by Maclean in Feed
Me takes viewers on a roller-coaster ride
through the vices of contemporary culture.
On loan from the Scottish National
Gallery of Modern Art, this work was
commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella
and Hayward Touring for British Art Show 8.
