Real Life and How to live it in Parledonia [7″]

This 7” vinyl gatefold disc (red vinyl) is one of 43,000 artworks produced in diverse heterogeneous formats distributed in Edinburgh as part of a project ‘Real Life and How to Live it in Auld Reekie’, which was a commission for Edinburgh Art Festival in 2013. This was an extended portrait of the city constructed through a series of publically accessible and distributed multiple works including billposters, postcards, badges, posters, bags, beermats, etc. I address the multiple identities of the city and propose new ways to consider one’s own relationship to somewhere you perhaps feel you know very well, understood in the company of millions of tourists. I performed a longer version of this track (with Prof. Raymond MacDonald) at the launch of the Art Festival.
