Sadly, this year’s Edinburgh Art Festival will not take place because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, as Edinburgh begins to emerge from lockdown, the Art Festival has invited 10 artists from previous festival editions, to work with them to mark the dates of what would have been the 2020 festival (30 July – 30 August). Amongst other projects, I have been working with the festival on a series of posters that will appear in locations throughout Edinburgh, making the artists’ original artwork shipshape and ready for printing by the arts agency, Jack Arts. This one is a set of two posters by the artist Rae-Yen Song and expands on a project originally created for the 2018 festival. Rae-Yen’s posters can be viewed outside the Clerk Street Cinema, 1/3 Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9JH, until 30 August.
