'Three Views' by Val Thomson, Helen Forrest & Karen Hadjitofi at Junction Arts!

on
New work from Val Thomson, Helen Forrest and Karen Hadjitofi will be on display from Friday at Junction Arts on Holburn Street. Junction Arts is a small independent gallery space who work closely with emerging artists and makers from Grays and the wider Aberdeen community. I was never really a big fan of landscape paintings until I started spending some time in these remote places depicted and suddenly they made sense and the ability to capture a lonely cottage, a tranquil river or raging coast line is a good skill to have!

I'm sure some nice refreshments will be available at the opening so pop along tomorrow or pop in during February!

Local Film Makers Wanted!!!

Do you make films? DO you know someone who makes films? Would you like to make films? I'm looking for local people to submit films for a monthly film showcase for local talent. All films are welcomed, short films, documentaries, music promos, skate / snow / surf movies, everything will be given a play. All we need is for you to get in touch and hopefuly we can create a new relaxed cinema experience. The main aim of the night is to give local video makers a platform for getting their work seen by a wide audience, kind of a mix between showing your films to friends and family and going to the cinema so see a blockbuster. I know there's a lot of you out there so dont hesistate to get in touch. E Mail me on mood_of_collapse@hotmail.co.uk .  This is the space well be using for the movie nights. Films are visible from out side on the street. Inside will probably have pictures on the walls as this is a gallery space, which should make it fun to hold events in...

All Work & Some Play!

Its was a busy weekend for Peacock Visual Arts with not one but two new shows opening. In the main gallery you can see North West by Katri Walker . A nice installation and short film exploring Scotland's connection to the wild west and the visual culture surrounding it. There's a very nice installation piece along the centre of the space with changing back drops which will instantly transport you to the land of cowboys & indians! The opening also featured some real Scottish cowboys who put on a real show for everyone which ended in a shoot out! Just another day at the office for some! Through in the main building you can see WORK , the BA Hons Printmaking students pre degree show show! I knew quite a few of the artists exhibiting in the show but was still blown away by the quality of the work, I usually find these kind of shows a bit underwhelming but I was really impressed by the breadth and depth of the work. Its nice to know that there will be some good work at the ma...
