A major UK show of contemporary art features several Scottish and Scotland-based artists.
The British Art Show, in its eighth edition, is to tour across the UK next year, including a series of major shows in Edinburgh.
Artists are chosen for the show - which is staged every five years - for "their significant contributions over the past five years."
More than half of the participating artists, chosen by curators Anna Colin and Lydia Yee, are making new work for the exhibition, while others will present recent work not previously seen in Britain.
Scottish or Scotland-based artists in British Art Show 8 include Ciara Phillips, Charlotte Prodger and Hayley Tompkins.
More than 40 artists will be included in the show in total.
In a statement, exhibition curators Anna Colin and Lydia Yee said: "Working on the British Art Show has been a rich and stimulating experience.
"Rather than arriving with a set theme and inviting artists accordingly, the curatorial framework was developed out of conversations with artists and observations made over the course of one year.
"We were particularly interested in the rereading of objects by artists and other contemporary thinkers as active agents, generative entities, mutating forms and networked realities.
"This has given us a starting point to explore how production, labour and collaborative processes can enter into dynamic conversation with the objects' narrative potential and web of relations."
Roger Malbert, head of Hayward Touring, said: "The five-year interval between British Art Shows is long enough for each to have a markedly different character and introduce a new generation of artists.
"This edition signifies a shift of curatorial perspective as well: the exhibition will evolve as it moves from city to city, with more collaborative relationships between artists and local organisations and communities."
The exhibition tour begins in Leeds in October this year and will be at several venues in Edinburgh from February to May next year.
Venues include theScottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Talbot Rice Gallery, University of Edinburgh, and Inverleith House at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
Anna Colin is an independent curator based in London.
Lydia Yee is Chief Curator at Whitechapel Gallery. She was previously Curator at Barbican Art Gallery.
