On Tuesday 13 August I’ll have the privilege of talking to the Scottish artist Robert Montgomery as part of the Parley series at the Edinburgh Art Festival. Robert’s work is in the situationist tradition, meaning art that is placed in unexpected public spaces for maximum effect, questioning the language and voice of private commercial interests on public streets.

Even better, the event will take place inside a huge architectural artwork by Krijn de Koning in Edinburgh College of Art’s Sculpture Court!

Commissioned by Edinburgh Art Festival, Montgomery’s new sculptural poem, created in oak and situated on The Mound, will be burnt on the opening day of the festival. This is an opportunity to hear the artist talk about his work for the festival and about his wider practice.
