Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s Edinburgh Art Festival has been cancelled. To mark the dates of what would have been the 2020 festival (30 July – 30 August) 10 artists from previous festival editions have been invited to make responses. 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 four posters by the artist and activist Ellie Harrison that reveals details of the artist’s carbon footprint for transport. For this project, I have designed two contextual posters that bookend the artist’s work. Ellie's posters can be found at sites at Meadowbank and Calton Road, until 30 August.
