To apply our brains to Highland 2007 is just a bit tortuous right now. I don't feel particularly engaged with it as I've never found Highland culture to be hugely engaged with us! Something to do with living in Badenoch and Strathspey, perhaps [Simon and Katrina McPherson have now moved to Nairnshire], which seems to us to be a void in terms of contemporary visual arts.

The HI~Arts website reinforces the perception in its music-heavy emphasis. This is Highland culture. I'm interested in the arts in general and contemporary visual arts in particular. The most exciting event to happen in recent times (london fieldworks) didn't even register on the HI~Arts site.

I'm not being cynical, just aware that my view of the arts doesn't seem to be a high priority in this region, and therefore my opinion is probably deeply irrelevant. Unfortunately (and fortunately) further south and internationally we find an interested audience and interesting work.
