Edinburgh, Scotland, April 29 —

In a new site-specific work for The National Galleries Scotland famed sculptor Maurizio Cattelan has installed screen legend Edie Sedgwick. Cattelan has placed Sedgwick on a 1 meter square pedestal connected to a generator. So long as Sedgwick dances the generator keeps the lights on in the galleries. If she stops, the lights go out. Cattelan declined to comment whether museum visitors would administer amphetamines to Sedgwick if her dancing slows.
