    The Hot 100: the definitive list of Scottish creative talent

    15 Dec 2011
    The List (p.24-25)

  • Performance / Events

    Relentless Innovation

    Devised by Harrison for the The List Hot 100 Party at the National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh after being voted No.93 in this annual list of Scotland’s ‘creative talent’. A ‘propaganda striptease’ of sorts, this artist’s talk / performance attempts to address the relentless innovation cycles such hitlists celebrate, and to explore the detrimental impact this obsession with the new might have on our mental health and the world around us.

    Desk Chair Disco

    Ellie Harrison & Adele Prince (Sports Day) staged the first ever Desk Chair Disco in Newcastle upon Tyne on Friday 4 November 2011. City dwellers were offered the opportunity to redress their work-life balance by reclaiming their ordinary office furniture and taking it out on the town. As part of Wunderbar festival, Sports Day were invited to take over an empty office unit in the Pandon Building and put on this ‘roller disco with a difference’. The evening featured disco lights, DJ sets, live music and daring Desk Chair Derby displays courtesy of the Newcastle Roller Girls.

Here's a little project I've been working on this year during lockdown - compiling a comprehensive Bibliography for my book 'The Glasgow Effect: A Tale of Class, Capitalism & Carbon Footprint', which was published by Luath Press in November 2019 📚🤓 The book itself has Endnotes, but no Bibliography, so I thought it would useful to draw together all the resources referenced in one alphabetical list, including links to those available online. ...

Terrific book. Very readable and so interesting. All your answers to why things (often not great) happen in Glasgow.

If you care about Glasgow read this book.

I finally finished it! An online comprehensive Bibliography for the Book. I hope it's useful: glasgoweffect.ellieharrison.com/bibliography/
