Since 2021, a large, red, neon sign has illuminated Glasgow's skyline with a puzzling message.
Above the busiest stretch of road in Scotland, a giant neon sign greets motorists with a bold and puzzling message.For the past few years the 3m red letters have illuminated Glasgow's skyline.
This allowed the sign to be visible about a mile away at the SEC, where world leaders and delegates were conducting climate negotiations. "GREEN" - represents environmental activism and economic transformation and the colour that we connect to nature, according to the artist. "EVEN" - represents how the climate crisis impacts everyone and represents "a collective shift towards carbon neutrality"
They wanted the artwork to be placed on the UN building in New York but talks broke down for various reasons including former US President Donald Trump's administration bringing the United States out of the Paris Climate Accords and the USA not having a delegate to the United Nations. At the end of summer 2021 the sign was fabricated in Scotland by Solas Neon in Edinburgh and was supported by various parties including Schoolhouse owners, Urban Office.Fabricating the design in Scotland helped reduce the carbon footprint of the display and supported the businesses in Scotland that were involved.She cited its industrial past compared to its "forward thinking" future - and of course the city is known as the "Dear Green Place".
