Josie Long tour of A Brief History of Privatisation

Josie Long / Ellie Harrison - 9 August 2011

A short film documenting the first half of Josie Long's special 'tour' of my installation 'A Brief History of Privatisation' at Inspace as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival.

The event took place as part of the Detours programme curated by Trigger which aimed to bring Edinburgh Fringe performers and artists together to give new readings of their work.

"Young, female and politically active, Josie Long and Ellie Harrison are two rising stars of the comedy and visual art scenes whose work squarely and firmly punches the state of the nation in the face. This Detour sees Josie exploring Ellie's A Brief History of Privatisation, an installation addressing the shifting face of public service policy... through the use of massage chairs."
