Ellie Harrison - 2 December 2010

Transmission: Glasgow to London

Broadcast LIVE (via Skype) from her flat in Glasgow to an assembled audience in the auditorium at the Whitechapel Gallery, London as part of Up Periscope - an event curated by writer-in-residence Sally O’Reilly.

Ellie’s transmission is a rambling exploration of ethical compromise and political contradiction. Questioning how a person’s moral outlook and priorities may shift with age, she offers an insight into the life of a home-owning thirty-something in devolved Scotland and touches on topics as diverse as the inefficiencies of the UK rail system and the usefulness of Skype for long-distance love. Further transmissions were made by Zoe Beloff in New York, Peter Blegvad in Coventry, Miguel Palma in Lisbon, Momus in Osaka and Art School Palestine.
