- Website: www.roughcutnation.co.uk
A striking collaborative multimedia installation, featuring the work of some of Scotland's most talented young artists. Aspects of Scottish history are presented through street art and graffiti, painted, pasted and projected onto the walls of the Portrait Gallery, currently empty due to the gallery's closure for refurbishment.

Rough Cut Nation
Scottish National Portrait Gallery/ 7 – 30 August 2009/ Admission free/ For opening times visit www.roughcutnation.co.uk
This unique multimedia project draws together a group of young artists who are constructing a remixed version of Scottish history as informed by street art and graffiti culture, painted, pasted and projected directly onto the walls of the Portrait Gallery. Rough Cut Nation updates William Hole’s 1889 murals within the building and is an exciting new direction for the National Galleries of Scotland, exploiting the evocative empty space produced by the Gallery’s current closure for redevelopment.
Rough Cut Nation will feature artwork and designs from Elph, Fraser Gray, Kirsty Whiten, Mike Inglis, Peter Martin, Jason Nelson, DUFI, Machism, Paco, Jo Basford, Janie Nicoll and Skint. The project will also feature artwork produced by young people working with Rough Cut artists on offsite projects.
