The project Gestural Reflective & Inquiring Tales is centred around an exhibition of fourteen painters, which explores how gesture and its physicality engage both the maker and the viewer. The contributing artists tackle some of the core principles of contemporary painting, and G.R.I.T. contextualises art as a collective practice which, at the same time, requires deep contemplation.

With international contributors, the show aims to bridge Europe. Previously on view in Berlin in August 2024, it will now open to the public in Dundee, Scotland. Through those two instalments, the project develops a model for sustainable artistic exchange. Beyond the exhibition, G.R.I.T. includes symposia as well as a public program, and the project aims to further discourse with a publication.

Artists: Angove, Jacopo dal Bello, Jenny Eden, Rao Fu, Ina Gerken, Alena Hil, Erika Krause, Eglė Otto, Alex Roberts, Geraldine Swayne, Anita Taylor, Henry Ward, Waldemar Zimbelmann, Michaela Zimmer.
