About the Exhibition: Gestural Reflective and Inquiring Tales (G.R.I.T.), features fourteen painters from the UK and Europe, and explores how gesture and its physicality in contemporary painting engage both the maker and the viewer. With international contributors, G.R.I.T. aims to bridge a conversation about painting across Europe, and the exhibition will be shown first in Berlin, Germany, and then in Dundee, Scotland. Through these two iterations, the project aims to develop a model for sustainable artistic exchange. Beyond the exhibitions, a public program and a symposium will be held in each location, and it is intended to produce 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. Curator: Alex Roberts is a British painter based in Berlin and Dundee.  www.alexroberts.com
