For 3 days, the Scottish suits have allowed 6 local artists to repaint an entire abandoned 1970′s village on their coast, they’ve called it the Ghostvillage Project. Here’s a short documentary and some pictures from the event; http://vimeo.com/8207410
Imagine what the En Masse crew would do if the city of Montreal was willing to give us access to just one abandoned building for 3 days…..

The Ghostvillage Project was created over 3 days on the west coast of Scotland. 6 artists – Timid, Remi/Rough, System, Stormie Mills, Juice 126, Derm – were given free reign to paint in an abandoned 1970s village. Working together on huge collaborative walls and individually in hidden nooks and crannies all over the site the artists realised long held dreams and were inspired by the bleakness and remoteness of the site. Drawing on the history of the village the artists’ stated intent on completion of the project was to populate the ghostvillage with the art and characters that it deserved.
