The Shape @ Generator Projects, 24 Mar-15 Apr

You’re in safe hands with Generator Projects. The gallery’s inclusive ethos is so anti-scenester it deserves a medal. And it’s no coincidence that this haven of the weird and wonderful would have its home in sunny Dundee – the Scottish seat of everything creepy and abject.

Generator’s current exhibition The Shape brings together artists Lachlann Rattray, Darren Banks and Ben Robinson to reflect on chance and determinism in European horror cinema, presenting new multimedia installations. Going by Robinson’s predilection for all things dark and sinister, and Rattray’s twisted comic book-surrealism, the show is a dead-cert freak fest.

Rattray makes unsettling pictures that incorporate elements of popular culture. In the past, he has depicted Homer Simpson melting and Bugs Bunny vomiting a rainbow. Amusingly, he often collages the faces of cats over the faces of actual people to surprisingly unsettling effect.

Ben Robinson – Skinny writer and Yuck ‘n Yum editor – unveils his new film Death Paints Red Daubings, which draws inspiration from the Italian genre of cinema called Giallo that marries aspects of thriller with the modern slasher horror.

Darren Banks makes sculptures built from old furniture and monitors showing found footage, as though a mad man with an obsession for scary movies has barricaded himself in a bed-sit. For The Shape, Banks exhibits Bloody Dreams, Visions and Tourism, exploring recurring horror motifs by isolating and looping horror movie tropes. [Andrew Cattanach]
