🤔 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 and .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 😊

🗣️ 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 mail@generatorprojects.co.uk

DEADLINE:
Monday 27th of April, 23:59

🌟 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 mail@generatorprojects.co.uk and we will pass on our information document and answer your queries.

VOICE & BODY: WRITING WORKSHOP
Thursday 19 March, 1800 - 2000 [Free]

In this practical workshop, Adam Benmakhlouf shares writing methods they’ve developed which centre the body as a way of grounding writing as a material artistic practice.

The session will evoke physical sensations as powerful instigators of writing. Movement, breathing, touching, listening and making sound form the basis of writing prompts.

This session will be audio and video recorded as part of research for an article to be included in the Journal for Writing in Creative Practice by art writer Adam Benmakhlouf, focusing on their role as facilitator. Adam’s research is focused on learning and embodied experiences of expertly-led workshops.

If you can, please bring something you can lay on the floor to feel comfortable sitting or lying down. Ideally an exercise mat, or a blanket will work otherwise.

For any queries about the recording, please contact Adam at 2474411@dundee.ac.uk

Any access issues please email; mail@generatorprojects.co.uk

C’mere a minute and meet Leah McDonald 🩵

IT’S 2 WEEKS TO GO until we open the first solo exhibition by Leah McDonald, titled C’MERE ✨

As a site-responsive artist, working between Motherwell and Glasgow, her practice works to challenge who art is for and where it belongs.

Working primarily in sculpture and installation, she explores themes of class identity and destruction of place, often in transitional and unpredictable environments. Drawing inspiration from everyday experiences and the act of making itself, she uses industrial materials to create precarious encounters that invite reflection, resistance, and connection.

🔈“The work I make disrupts space and shifts where art is encountered, using materials that are shaped by unsuspecting collaborators”

There’s much shared excitement for Leah to bring her work to Dundee. So much so that during a site visit, she was inspired to create an intervention in a local Dundee site, which will feature in the exhibition!

🌟 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Robbie Macoy / 🌟

Robbie Macoy is an illustrator, graphic designer, and medical artist based in Angus, Scotland and a former member of the Generator committee. His own creative work typically combines the traditional with the digital and often focuses on the human form, personality, and the exploration of identity via observational drawing, portraiture, and character design.

His submission to the Members’ Show 2026 is a simple pencil drawing scribbled onto the page of an old, worn sketchbook.

🌟 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Rowan Strachan / 🌟

My work explores language, landscape, Gaelic culture and the marks we have made on the world - who came before us, what’s in the future and the time we inhabit now.

I explore timescales, digital in contrast with geological. I am fascinated by layered in-between states – the gap that exists between the spoken and written word, the past behind the present, pages under the ones pasted over the top and the space between sound and music.

I am currently in my 3rd Year at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design studying Fine Art primarily working in painting, sound, video and writing.

🌟 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Joseph Campbell-Rodger / .art 🌟

‘I am a mixed media artist with particular interest in sound, fine art, digital techniques and narrative. My work often focuses on mental health and the relationship between the human mind and the physical space it inhabits. This piece is a self portrait using acrylic paint from my SQA Higher practical exam. It attempts to explore my emotions and self image at the time of painting it, as well as study the technical aspects of painting. I was influenced mainly by the portraiture of Guy Denning [the 3rd image].’

🌟 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Donatas /
🌟

The artist is a DJCAD art and philosophy student who explores themes of light and reflection, while also engaging with his cultural and ethnic background. Being from Lithuania, he has a rich paganistic culture to draw from, which influences his work through the ancient symbols of the masculine and the feminine, creating a balance that harmoniously rounds the piece together. The idea of balance is a recurring idea that seems evident in most of the artist’s works, and this balance is what he hopes the audience sees or even achieves.

View Donatas’ work in this year’s Members’ Show at Generator Projects !!! We are open Thursday-Sunday, 12-5pm. You have until the Sunday 1st of March 😌
