This summer marks the ten-year anniversary of Ellie Harrison's artistic project Early Warning Signs, and the first opportunity to see the artwork reunited. Originally made for the 2 Degrees Festival, each year four venues are invited to host individual wind-activated 'CLIMATE/CHANGE' signs, animating an increasingly urgent message. Spot three spinning signs across the Garden before they join the final sign in Glasgow for COP26, the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of Parties.
To attend this exhibition, it is essential to book a timed entry slot to the Garden.
