A Visiting Arts funded project. Collective invited Romanian artist Dan Perjovschi to Scotland for the first time, to take on the role of artist in residence to the Festivals during 2004; to explore the City´s relationship to the Festivals and the Festivals relationship to a broader global context. During his residency in Edinburgh, Perjovschi acted as a critical observer, mingling with writers, performers and audiences, picking up on the cultural debates and setting them within a broader global context through his playful drawings. Dan’s drawings were posted on panels sited at three locations within the city where new pieces were placed on everyday. A specially designed newspaper featuring Dan’s drawings was produced in the final week of the Festival period and distributed from the panel sites and other visual arts venues throughout the city.
