Striped mooring posts lining Mavisbank Quay in Glasgow. These bollards were painted by the French conceptual artist Daniel Buren in his trademark black and white stripes for the 1988 Glasgow Garden Festival. Cont./ #glasgow #publicart #glasgowhistory #mavisbankquay #danielburen

I was interviewed in yesterday's Sunday Mail regarding the lineage from the 1988 Garden Festival to this summer's Commonwealth Games - and, of course, my book!
