29 Nov 2011 in Film, Highland, Visual Arts & Crafts

Inverness Old Town Art continue with their programme of Freaky Fridays, a series of unexpected happenings that will take you on a journey from hell through purgatory to heaven, funded by Creative Scotland as part of the Sublime programme. These events have been occurring every Friday from 18 November to 16 December at the Old Town Rose Street Car Park, Inverness.

Forthcoming events are:

Friday 2nd December 10am – 6pm (Free) Ground Floor
Live street art from Team Recoat – a new collective consisting of ten Scottish artists working in the field of street art, graffiti and graphics. The team will be transforming cars on the ground floor all day. Plus drop-in workshops, short films and an artists’ talk the 7pm night before at IG:LU on Church Street.

Friday 9th December 10am – 6pm (Free) Ground Floor
Screening of Industrial Revolutions – an amazing new film which captures a sublime and compelling performance from the Highland’s street trials riding star Danny MacAskill. Plus live music from a special guest. Industrial Revolutions sees Danny take his incredible bike skills into an industrial train yard and some derelict buildings. Filmed in the beautiful Scottish countryside the film was directed by Stu Thomson (Cut Media) for Channel 4’s documentary Concrete Circus with a fantastic sound track featuring The Wolves by Ben Howard.

Friday 16th December 10am – 6pm (Free) Ground Floor
The multi-storey is one of the tallest buildings in Inverness with fantastic panoramic views of the sky. What better place to do some heavenly cloud watching with artists Sundogs (yarnbombing duo Annie Marrs and Jennifer Cantwell) as they take over the building with their Cloudishness.
