For his next piece of extraordinary art performance, Mark will set out on a solo trip from Peckham Library to Glasgow, using a supermarket shopping trolley. Along the way he will collect gifts from English people to hand out to the people of Scotland and Glasgow. Mark says 'the performance/event is a kind of reconciliation for the William Wallace thing. A kind of peace-keeping/goodwill mission to try and bridge the English, Scottish divide. I want to try and bring these two great countries back together. On the journey I will be singing Rod Stewart's timeless classic 'I am Sailing' to keep my spirits up'. For more info contact Mark McGowan by email.
