Generator Projects

Two weeks to go; ⭐️They Had Four Years⭐️ Generator Projects annual recent graduate exhibition, They Had Four Years (TH4Y), inviting a group of artists to develop and exhibit new work one year on from graduating from Scotland’s art schools. We are super excited to present this year’s cohort of artists Anna Tewungwa, Jock Thomson, Nina Price, Sam Black and Thea Moston - it looks set to be a beaut of a show ⛲️ Runs 31/5 - 12/7, opens 30/5 6pm - 9pm

Yesterday the UK Supreme Court handed down a ruling that has stated that sex is assigned at birth and immutable, regardless of reality exemplified by the widely documented lived experiences of trans and intersex people. This ruling is meant to excludes trans women from both recognition and protection under the law as women, and can be broadly applied to all transgender individuals. This is the latest in a series of moves to rapidly and efficiently erode the legally enshrined safety and validity of trans peoples that has existed for the past 15 years. Even with the protections offered to us by the 2010 equality act we still experience violence on a personal and institutional level as a result of being trans. Generator Projects staunchly rejects this interpretation of the law and vehemently condemns the judges that unanimously made this ruling, their choice to exclude any trans people from speaking as part of the case & for their of intense moral or philosophical bankruptcy. This ruling will come with a body count. The nature of the law is to represent the all peoples. But the voices of trans people, particularly trans women, have been absent from all major forms of this public discourse. Whilst a small group funded by immense amounts of private wealth have been given the privilege of being heard, so we urge all other cultural institutions to actively platform and give space to trans people. The ‘trans debate’ echoes a pattern of history similar to the ‘Jewish question’ - this ambiguity over the rights of a group to exist can only end in the public and later private erasure of that group. So we state that trans women are women unequivocally and without question. We ask everyone who is part of the wider generator community to continue listen to and speak up for our trans colleagues across the UK. Generator will remain a site that is inclusive of trans people in every facet of our policy, programming & community. In solidarity, Persephone Russell Co-Chair of Operational Committee On Behalf of Generator Projects

🤔 Still unsure whether to apply for our Greece Residency? 🇬🇷 Generator Projects invites you to hear all about it on Tuesday 5th May, 6.30pm! Join us with @sam_jacksonart and @emmie.j.arts , the first artists we had the privilege to take on our fully-funded Greece Residency. Samantha and Emily are two artists, who happen to also be sisters, from Dundee. We invite you to a talk and one night exhibition where we will get to hear all about their experiences of the Greece residency and see some of the work they produced, as well as new work that reflects on on how the residency has influenced their practice. This talk is a great opportunity to hear more about the residency if you are interested in applying. It is also an invitation to hear about how going outside of your comfort zone can influence your practice, and take it to new places. A beautiful publication about Samantha and Emily’s time in Greece will also be available to take away. Refreshments will be served 😊

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO SUNDAY 03 MAY at 23:59! 🗣️ WE’RE LOOKING FOR NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS 🗣️ We are excited to recruit some new committee members in advance of some of our current committee leaving this spring! WHAT IS THE OPERATIONAL COMMITTEE? The committee is a non-hierarchical and everyone takes their turns doing everything from cleaning the toilets to programming and delivering projects. These roles are not things that an individual would be expected to work on solely, as we all support each other, but you’d be partly responsible for managing Generator overall. The Committeeship has a 2-year tenure, with a 8-16 hour weekly commitment roughly, in which you will be part of every decision made at Generator. We host in person weekly meetings that are essential to attend so you’d ideally be based somewhere you can easily take part (If you are based in Dundee, Angus, Perth & Tayside do apply).  WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR? Committee roles are fluid and changeable throughout your tenure. At this time we have not designated specific roles for new applicants, if you would like more information please email us.   In the Operational Committee you will find a supportive group of peers, some of the best arts experience to develop skills in all areas of running a gallery and project space, resources for professional development, as well as the chance to make your dream projects happen. Generator’s approach is radical, fluid and responsive to the communities we exist within. WHO CAN APPLY? We especially welcome applicants from a variety of life stages and professional experience. While recent graduates are welcome to apply, we will be prioritising applications outwith this cohort. Experience required: none, just love for making art happen and the willingness to get stuck in! Please note, roles on the Operational Committee are not open to current students. If you are a student looking to get involved in Generator Projects you may join as a Member, or email the committee to join the Associate Committee. To apply please send of expression of Interest no more than 200 words and your CV to [email protected]  DEADLINE:  Monday 27th of April, 23:59

🌟 FULLY-FUNDED RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITY 🌟 We at Generator Projects are excited to announce the second run of the international residency program in the village of Katastari, on the Island of Zakynthos, Greece. We are looking for two Dundee (and surrounding area) based artists who would like to work together or who are seeking to create a body of work collaboratively. This is a beautiful opportunity to take one’s practice out of a familiar place and experience a new setting in landscape, culture and studio space. If this is you, please submit a project proposal and CV to us by June 10th 2026. THE LOCATION - Katastari is a seaside village surrounded by hills of olive groves. Nearby are more villages, including Zakynthos Town which is a bustly social and cultural hub. The mainland is accessible via ferry, where art supplies can be purchased. As well as this, Jackson’s Art supplies can be shipped directly to the site. THE MEDIUMS - This residence is open to a wide variety of mediums including drawing, painting, photography, collage, textile, sound, digital, found objects, mixed media, installation and performance. THE STUDIO - the studio/workshop consists of two adjoining outdoor and indoor spaces, with mobile and fixed easels, workbenches and tables. DATES - the residency will run for the first three weeks of September. Depending on the artist’s availability and travel availability within these dates, the residency is able to be flexible. IMPORTANT - Please note, your proposal must reference your collaborator, we cannot accept individual applications. Though you must apply as a pair, your work does not need to be collaborative. This residency is not open to students. Though you may apply as a student, your studies must have commenced by the time of the residency. For further particulars or any questions you may have, please contact us at [email protected] and we will pass on our information document and answer your queries.
