Life under Lockdown (at MERZ)

Tonic Arts commissioned artists in Scotland, born over seven decades to reflect on Life under Lockdown. Funded by the Edinburgh and Lothians Health Foundation the planned exhibition at Edinburgh’s Western General Hospital awaits clearance. The MERZ contribution is a model of the Museum of Model Art, currently in use during Covid-19 lockdown as a work and recreation space. Progress on the commissions from all seven contributors can be followed on Instagram #tonicartslockdown. Here is a short film from Tonic Arts contributor David Rushton outlining his six decade long development of art-models.
