Major loans of works by artists from JMW Turner to Francis Bacon are displayed alongside new commissions. The gallery hosted the Turner Prize.

Selected Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition 2020.
The Annual Exhibition is the core of the RSA’s exhibition programme, and represents the Academy’s commitment to promoting excellence in visual art in Scotland. In light of the current extraordinary circumstances, the RSA team has been working hard to ensure that the exhibition goes ahead in a new, entirely digital format. The exhibition is available to view entirely online, with accompanying detailed commentary from exhibiting artists. The RSA Annual Exhibition is the most extensive exhibition of contemporary art and architecture in Scotland. Having been a mainstay of the academy's calendar since its inception 193 years ago, the Annual Exhibition has evolved over the years, providing a platform for Scottish art alongside international artists, often including topical or political elements, to give an uncensored, independent voice to artists. |

4B: Contemporary Approaches to Drawing - 29 September - 10 November 2018
4B explores drawing through the practices of 4 contemporary artists. It features the work of Jeanette Barnes, Christy Burdock and Meghana Bisineer, alongside the Autobiographical Series of prints and 11 Drypoints by Louise Bourgeois on loan from Hayward Touring. Drawing is fundamental for each of these artists. They harness its direct link between mind and mark to convey their thoughts and feelings and each is concerned with the possibilities of drawing to convey narrative. However, the ways in which they do so vary widely in terms of scale, material and subject matter. The exhibition features work by Christy Burdock created during her recent residency at the House of Illustration and Meghana Bisineer’s animation Light, Water, Glass, inspired by TS Eliot’s poem The Waste Land and drawn on the windows of the Royal Festival Hall in London. And, from very large scale, dynamic, charcoal drawings of the city in flux by Barnes to Bourgeois’ intimate portrayal of her memories, dreams and fears, each artist uses drawing to blur the boundaries between the observed and imaginary.

May 2018 Sacha Craddock who works at the forefront of contemporary art in the UK and internationally. Last year she curated the Turner Prize and she speaks frequently on current issues in contemporary art for galleries, museums and institutions. Sacha also co-founded Bloomberg Space and was its curator from 2002-2011. She has been Chair of the Board of New Contemporaries and selection process since 1996, as well as selecting for both the Turner Prize and the John Moores Prize.
In conversation with Sacha Craddock, Christy will talk us through the six months she's spent in residence at HoI, and a working process which involves close observation of a group followed by visual interpretation of the people and patterns she sees. She will discuss the ethical considerations involved in this process and will explain how she incorporates motifs and archetypes from art history to emphasise her observations.

HoI Artist in residence - exhibition 28 March to 8 July
Christy Burdock: “I was utterly delighted to have been chosen for the residency, the opportunity to make, test and show, a new body of work responding to an institution with such a unique remit is a rare opportunity and a privilege.”
The judges – curator Olivia Ahmad, Eye Magazine editor John Walters and Nous Vous Collective – said:
From a field of outstanding candidates, we are delighted to have awarded HoI residency to Christy Burdock. We were struck by Christy’s intrepid and sensitive explorations of closed communities and her drawn accounts that layer observation, memory and metaphor. For the next six months, Christy will immerse herself in the ‘micro-societies’ emerging from HOI – we very much look forward to the outcome.
