Our Infinite Land

This summer the Royal Scottish Academy will present an exhibition entitled Our Infinite Land. Taking Hugh MacDiarmid’s decrial ‘Scotland small? Our multiform, our infinite Scotland small?’ as an initial cue, the exhibition will highlight the emotive power of the Scottish landscape and show the contrasting approaches taken by Royal Scottish Academicians toward the subject. It will consider the web of implied narratives, political appropriations and cultural signifiers built into depictions of the environment in Scottish art as a result of the unerring pull of the landscape. Over 40 Royal Scottish Academicians will exhibit, including Leon Morrocco, Eileen Lawrence, Will Maclean, Alan Robb and Michael Visocchi.
