Another one! I think the contrast of the historic with the modern and the scale of the artwork is amazing. I really do wish I could get over to Scotland to see it.

I suggest getting in touch with them through the contact details on their websites (links above). Hi Stacey,

I find the reactions to the graffiti project fascinating! Some people love it while others are horrified. Personally i adore it! I'm a 3rd year illustrator from dundee college of art and design, and i'm always being told 'what is art' and i find this project a real breath of fresh air. I'm doing my dissertartion on art projects such as these and i was wondering if there was any way you could put me in touch with the artists and/or the owners of the castle? thanks for any help you can give me.

It's just a small section of the castle but they should've been told. Terry, minxlj, Thanks for leaving your comments. Much appreciated. Sandy,

Terry, minxlj,

We are currently engaging young people in graffitti art and we will visit this castle in early July. I sometimes wonder why we continue to live in the past - I truly understand the importance of history to help us understand who we are but isnt it a sign of the times that people use this identity to keep them living in that insular space we call our culture. More spaces should be made available for this work. I think the project is just amazing. We are currently engaging young people in graffitti art and we will visit this castle in early July.

My best mate is getting married there this year and they were not told of this project and now have to replan the whole photographs. I certainly wouldn't want graffiti in my wedding photographs esp at the price she's paying - which ain't cheap. From what i've heard they haven't told any other wedding parties either. I'm not against it, through work I regularly organise graffiti type projects for public spaces and the opposition is terrible at first.

It's temporary, so why not paint it? However, I am slightly uncomfortable with painting a historic landmark. If anyone did that to Newcastle Keep I think I'd keel over!! As brilliant an artwork as it is, it just doesn't look right. A much more appropriate artwork could have been designed, more in keeping with the local settings and the buildings. But I applaud the owner for being so open-minded! I'd like to see some sculpture in the castle's grounds, as a less risky art project :-) If it is in need of refurbishment, I don’t see why not, as long as it is reversible and the structure isn’t damaged.

The walls can always be repainted. Chris, I recently watched an episode of Grand Designs that showed a derelict Edinburgh home (more a shell of a home) that was renovated to an unbelievable standard! Where was the building you're talking about? Jennifer, I'm glad they took a chance on it, even though I'm coming across more and more disdain. Mig,

Chris,

Jennifer,
