YNY is a curatorial collective who produce a quarterly art zine and host events that promote and distribute art out with a gallery setting.
YNY was created in 2005 by Andrew Maclean, who self published and distributed YNY whenever he could. In 2008 he asked Gayle Meikle and Ben Robinson to aid him in the production of the zine and develop YNY as a distribution mechanism for artists. Since then YNY has produced 13 issues [including two special editions] and hosted many events to promote artists, including Yuck 'n Yum's Art Distribution Unit, Turn Your Bluetooth On and the AGK
In 2010 Alexandra Ross alongside Graeme Plunkett were asked to join the team. Graeme was with us for one year and has now gone on to pastures new, we thank him for all his hardwork as part of YNY! We have now recruited Alex Tobin as our fifth member and Ryan Smith as our web consultant.
YNY is constantly expanding and are keen to hear from you if you would like to volunteer. Contact info@yucknyum.com with sub heading volunteer if interested.

Andrew Maclean

Fife-born artist Andrew Maclean graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art in 2003. He did his bit for the local arts scene serving GENERATORprojects for the obligatory two years (04-06). He returned to Duncan of Jordanstone in 2006, graduating with an MSc in Electronic Imaging in 2007. Andrew put together the first three issues of Yuck ‘n Yum whenever he had time. Yuck ‘n Yum became quarterly after Andrew was awarded funds by the Dundee Visual Arts Awards to produce four issues in 2008. Yuck ‘n Yum is now supported by the Hannah Maclure Centre, Abertay University.
