Ten years ago today,Image attachment

Ten years ago today, I was just beginning my year-long durational performance #TheGlasgowEffect which was to become one of the most controversial publicly-funded artworks that Scotland had ever seen.

Part psychological experiment, part protest, part strike, for the whole of 2016, I vowed not to travel beyond Glasgowโ€™s city limits, or use any vehicles except my bike.

I described my experience of starting #TheGlasgowEffect, including being at the centre of the social media stooshie it provoked, in โ€˜When the Chips Hit the Fanโ€™ โ€“ Chapter 5 of my book โ€˜The Glasgow Effect: A Tale of Class, Capitalism & Carbon Footprintโ€™ published by Luath Press ๐Ÿ“š

We have just printed a newly updated version of the Second Edition, so do have a read if youโ€™d like to be transported back to that moment in January 2016... Find out more at: ellieharrison.com/book @followers
