Edinburgh Art Festival (EAF) is delighted to announce further details of its 2013 events programme in
its 10 anniversary year. Complementing EAF’s major exhibitions and the annual city-wide
programme of new public art commissions, this year entitled Parley, the festival’s events programme
will feature one-off performances, artist and curator talks and art tours across the city alongside
musical performances and plays.
To mark the opening of the Art Festival on 1 August Robert Montgomery’s Edinburgh Fire Poem,
one of the EAF Parley commissions, will be lit at dusk on The Mound. Further commissioned live
performances within the Parley programme will include The Complaints Choir as well as Sarah
Kenchington’s Wind Pipes for Edinburgh, featuring new compositions by Colin Broom and Muris
among others. EAF has also commissioned artists Ross Sinclair and (co-commissioned with
Edinburgh Printmakers) Rachel Maclean to curate public Parley discussions; further Parley events
will include the short musical play Parley for Power by Michael Pedersen and Alan Bissett.
Talks and seminars by some of the world’s leading artists and curators bring the EAF exhibitions
programme to life throughout August, including Gabriel Orozco in conversation with Briony Fer and
Benjamin Buchloh; Lisa Le Feuvre on Mostly West: Franz West and Artist Collaborations and
photographer Ângela Ferreira will discuss her exhibition Political Cameras with curator Filipa
Oliveria.
Festival Detours, commissioned by EAF, will present a series of intimate live performances in
Edinburgh’s leading galleries from the worlds of music, poetry and theatre and Art Late returns with
two specially programmed evenings of late openings north and south of the Royal Mile. Children and
families can join EAF Explorers, a special activity trail commissioned by the Art Festival, and Tom
Nolan and Catherine Payton are this year’s Tourists-in-Residence and will offer visitors one-off
tours of the city. EAF will also be running two guided Art Cycle Tours that will reach some of the
more far-flung areas of the festival.
