Cinemagic Tour With the advent of the final demolition of Huntly’s Picture House in 2006, Elsebeth was invited here for three months to suggest a project looking through the optic of the town’s cinematic history. In her research she interviewed people who had been connected to the cinema; negotiated access to the soon-to-be demolished building; and sought to bring out artefacts from the cinema for the local Museum.

Mono When Jelka first came to Huntly, she was intrigued by the phenomenon of young people driving around in defined rhythms in a continual, almost performative manner. She assumed a link between youth boredom and the monotony of driving around in repeated circles. During her three-months stay she took a deeper look at the cruising culture in the town, to discover what fascinates the drivers, what are their motivations and passions. |

Empty Shop Eva Merz was invited to come to Huntly to provide a reaction to the
increasing number of empty shops in the rural town. The project focused
on a grocer’s shop from the 1920s which had been empty since the
mid-eighties. Eva Merz preserved the shop by declaring it a Modern Monument. This was expressed
through a performance on the 29th April 03 when the artist climbed up to the
roof of the shop, swinging a flag with the words EMPTY SHOP. The artist then
produced a series of limited edition souvenirs of the empty shop, like mugs,
lighters, mouse-mats and t-shirts. Publication.
