About 'Commissioned by YPC'
V&A Dundee’s Young People’s Collective (YPC), together with Volk Gallery and JACK ARTS Scotland, presents Commissioned by YPC — a new series of public artworks by five emerging artists and designers selected from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design’s 2025 Degree Show.
Curated and produced by YPC, a collective of emerging creatives who have nurtured and driven the commissions, installed on hoardings and billboards across Dundee, bringing contemporary design practice directly into the city’s streets. Each artist and designer works to respond to the theme of Reimagining Gardens — considering how gardens and public spaces can act as platforms for social justice, biodiversity and sustainability. In addition, Volk Gallery presents the work of designer Kyle Watson with a reflective exhibit, considering often overlooked visual details of Dundee.
Artist bio:
Lewis Cavinue notices the world through performance art. A graduate of Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, he now serves on the committee of Generator Projects, a long-standing artist-run initiative in Dundee.
Highlighting humour in often overlooked everyday situations, he uses performance as a tool to question societal practices. Inspired by ordinary acts, he recontextualizes metaphors into art, blending visual absurdity with critical reflection. His performances thrive in the space where art meets life; where exaggerated actions and societal expectations create a complex interplay that invites you to engage with, and reflect upon, the familiar and the obscure.
