Detours: Josie Long at Fruitmarket / The Scotsman Steps

On 16 August, Josie performed her second Detour against the backdrop of Ingrid Calame's intricate tracings at The Fruitmarket Gallery.
Here she is responding in her own inimitable way to Ingrid's work. Josie is here seen taking a stroll up Martin Creed's 'Work no 1059' on the Scotsman Steps, a piece commissioned by The Fruitmarket Gallery as part of his 2010 solo exhibition, Down Over Up.

In August 2011, the Edinburgh Art Festival commissioned Trigger to make Detours, a series of live interventions in some of the city's most stimulating visual art spaces. This is one of eight films made by Daniel Warren in response to the events. You can find out more here: bit.ly/​Detours
