'drawings' @ 99 - Opening night

It was a bit gloomy in the venue (fair enough considering its a cocktail bar!), but the ink and brush drawings worked ok in the space I think.  A mellow night and good times - thanks to everyone to came, and to 99 for the rum punch. Some more pics from the opening after the jump...

By Order of Me

When the rain and wind have died down, get yourself down to the Broadhill at Aberdeen beach to check out the excellent public artwork "By Order of Me":

By Order of Me is a new artwork on Broad Hill, inviting Aberdeen residents to see the city through the eyes of its young people. By Order of Me explores the personal responses of young Aberdonians to their city’s urban landscape, specifically to the prohibitive rules and instructions that appear on signs through the city – eg. No Ball Games, No Skateboarding,Keep Off the Grass – signs which tell people what not to do.

By Order of Me provides a platform for young people to present their own alternative rules and instructions. The installation is composed of 20 signs across Broad Hill, suggesting fun, stimulating and entertaining ways for people to interact with their urban surroundings. The exhibition is open from 18th February 2011 to February 2012.

By Order of Me has been created by 54 pupils from Kingsford Primary School with visual artist Rachel O’Neill and writer Davey Anderson as part of EXTREME – a major Aberdeen arts project led by Aberdeen City Council’s Arts Education Team in co-production with the National Theatre of Scotland and in partnership with Transition Extreme Sports Ltd.EXTREME is an Inspire project supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland, with additional support from Shell and the Scottish Government.
