    Prints CharmingYou might not have heard of the SCOTTISH PRINT NETWORK, but its a consortium of fi ve print studios: DCA, Edinburgh Printmakers, Glasgow Print Studio, Highland Print Studio and Peacock Visual Arts. And theyve commissioned a new exhibition called BELOW ANOTHER SKY which comes to INVERNESS MUSEUM & ART GALLERY from 12 MAR-11 APR. The work on show, which explores the full range and potential of printmaking in contemporary visual arts practice, was produced following a series of international residencies. Artists based in Scotland travelled to Commonwealth countries and artists based in, or originating from, Australia, Canada, India and Pakistan visited Scotland to work directly with one of the fi ve print studios in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness.

    Featured artists are: SARNATH BANERJEE, CHRISTINE BORLAND, FAHD BURKI, ROHINI DEVASHER, EMILY FLOYD, MICHAEL FULLERTON, LOUISE HOPKINS, JANICE KERBEL, JIM LAMBIE (pic), SCOTT MYLES, ELIZABETH OGILVIE, ROBERT ORCHARDSON, AMOL PATIL, CAROL RHODES and, perhaps best known of all, DAVID SHRIGLEY. Theres a connected talk event at IMAG on 26 MAR at 6pm when you can join staff from the Highland Print Studio on an exhibition tour of Below Another Sky, highlighting the stories and techniques behind the artworks that were produced by Sarnath Banerjee, Christine Borland, Elizabeth Ogilvie and Amol Patil here in Inverness. FREE, no need to book.

    Another interesting exhibition at IMAG is on until 07 MAR and worth hurrying along to. REALISING POTENTIAL is a multi-media exhibition of insightful and inspiring art works created by prisoners participating in the Fife College Learning Programmes at HMP Inverness includes ceramics made following a series of inspiring workshops, exploring and interpreting the past through Scottish artefacts in the IMAG Collections and also digital collages of the wide variety of work which has been created by the ever changing population of the prison.

    Also recommended this month: At CASTLE GALLERY, JONATHAN SHEARER has an exhibition of his glorious oil paintings of Highland landscapes, taking in the rivers Blackwater, Affric, Averon and Findhorn, as well as Skye, Arisaig and Iona. Jonathan takes his paints and easel with him into the mountains, painting swiftly, applying thick oil paint using trowels and brushes to capture the fl eeting moment and rapidly changing light conditions. And if you havent caught GARETH GITTINGS new exhibition yet, head to IG:LU where his alluring abstracts referencing life and love are on show until 13 MAR.

    CASTLE GALLERY JONATHAN SHEARER14 Mar - 4 Apr, JONATHAN SHEARER draws inspiration for his atmospheric works from painters such as Turner and Horatio McCulloch. He seeks to convey his physical engagement with the landscape; preferring to work en plein air and painting swiftly, applying thick oil paint using trowels and brushes to capture the fl eeting moment and rapidly changing light conditions. He does not copy from photographs, but prefers to experience the Scottish landscape fi rst hand, taking his paints and easel with him into the mountains.

    This solo exhibition is his most ambitious to date. His oil paintings of the rivers Blackwater, Affric, Averon and Findhorn capture the waters in spate set against the splendid autumn colours in the surrounding woodlands and fascinating rock formations. Painting excursions to Assynt have resulted in some spectacular paintings refl ecting this truly magnifi cent landscape. His paintings of the winter snows on the mountains capture the

    landscape in all its glory. Summer trips to Skye, Arisaig and Iona have also provided some coastal inspiration for this exhibition which conveys the artists response to the landscape of the North and North West of Scotland in all the seasons.castlegallery.co.uk

  • FILMAmericas Greatest?

    DOCUMENTARYCOMEDY DRAMA FAMILY ROMANCE

    12

    Weve long held the belief that JULIANNE MOORE is Americas greatest living actress and while shes as guilty as her peers of blotting her copybook with some roles that dont do justice to her talents, when she gets it right shes astonishing. And as her career develops shes getting the accolades she deserves, last year for the excellent Maps To The Stars and now for STILL ALICE [1] (06 MAR) in which she plays a linguistics professor diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimers disease alongside ALEC BALDWIN, KRISTEN STEWART and KATE BOSWORTH. Shes already picked up a BAFTA for the role and by the time this lands on your mat, she might just have won an Oscar too And just to prove the point about her odd choices, or to put it more kindly, range, Moore also pops up this month (alongside JEFF BRIDGES, BEN BARNES, ALICIA VIKANDER and KIT HARINGTON) in SEVENTH SON [2], a fantasy action adventure about armies fi ghting evil spirits. Not a role thats likely to be remembered as her greatest moment, but frankly, wed forgive her just about anything.

    CHAPPIE [3] (06 MAR) is the much-anticipated newie from District 9s Neill Blomkamp. Chappie voiced by the excellent SHARLTO COPLEY is an experimental robot derived from a police droid (by DEV PATEL) to be able to think, learn and develop feelings. But the authorities (SIGOURNEY WEAVER, HUGH JACKMAN) get wind of this radical new technology and want rid of him. Blomkamp possesses a great talent for combining realistic future tech and humanity. He also likes using local talent and he turned to South African rave-rap outfi t Die Antwoord to star alongside the big names.

    Apparently Kenneth Branagh, director of Disneys live-action retelling of CINDERELLA [4] (27 MAR) claims that his version gives the tale a proto-feminist twist. And the presence of HELENA BONHAM CARTER and HAYLEY ATWELL should invest it with some sort of vim, but most interesting for many viewers will be the fact that screenings will also feature the short, FROZEN FEVER [5], a clever move to keep the Frozen franchise ticking over until the longed-for full-length sequel. This ones all about a birthday party, so expect a whole new line of Frozen-branded cakes to be hitting shops near you shortly.

    More animation in HOME [6], the latest Dreamworks fl ick from the creators of The Croods about an alien making friends with an earthling. Not heard that one before, but voices from Steve Martin, Jim Parsons (Sheldon from Big Bang Theory) and, er, Rihanna, should save the day.

    Then theres PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 5: THE GHOST DIMENSION, the latest instalment of the bump-in-the-night series, wherein shaky cameras replace artistic imagination. INSURGENT [7], meanwhile, is part of another in-for-the-long-haul series, the second instalment of the movies based on the Divergent series of books. Kate WINSLET, SHAILENE WOODLEY and THEO JAMES star in a frantic sci-fi action tale set in a ruined Chicago.

    We told you last issue about SELMA and EX MACHINA, both still showing this month and highly recommended, as is SUITE FRANAISE (EDEN COURT, 27 MAR-02 APR), a World War 2 romantic drama set in occupied France and starring the magnifi cent acting quartet of KRISTIN SCOTT THOMAS, RUTH WILSON, MICHELLE WILLIAMS and MARGOT ROBBIE. Maybe Julianne Moore has competition after all.

    Biggest event of the month for kids (and indeed many grown-ups, is the release of the Spongebob Squarepants movie, the magnifi cently titled SPONGEBOB: SPONGE OUT OF WATER, which will be showing everywhere from 27 MAR. Following the same recipe for success as LEGO and Shaun The Sheep, therell be loads of references aimed at adults in between all the mayhem. Its in 3D, but surely crying out for the newly hyped 4D, wherein water will be splashed hither and yon.

    Dont let on, but theres already an ace form of 3D called theatre and its the form in which more underwater high-jinx will be showcased at EDEN COURT on 01 APR when the Octonauts take to the stage for the very fi rst time in OCTONAUTS AND THE DEEP SEA VOLCANO ADVENTURE. An action-packed interactive musical, it fi nds Captain Barnacles, Kwazii, and Peso embarking on an exciting new mission.

    Aimed at a very young audience, WHATEVER THE WEATHER (EDEN COURT, 08 MAR) is the latest production from M6 Theatre, set in an Alpine Weather House. A man and a woman pop out at different times depending on whether its sunny or rainy but what happens when the weather goes topsy-turvy? Its a plot worthy of Beckett.

    Also worth looking out for is the KIDS EXPO coming to INVERNESS LEISURE on SAT 28 MAR. In conjunction with Inverness Leisure & MFR, the event is the largest family informative day in the Highlands & Moray and will bring together a large selection of services offering advice on all aspects of family life - including education, childcare, money advice, recycling, healthy lifestyle, kids/baby classes, local businesses targeting families, competitions, charity fundraising and more.

    WED 25 FEB THE BOY AND THE BUNNET @ Craigmonie Centre, 7.30pm F ollows a young boy, Neil, who lives in rural Scotland with his Granny, and the adventures he has over the course of one day. This is traditional musics answer to Peter and the Wolf - with live music and narration in Scots and Gaelic.

This quaint ornament tells us what weather to expect today. When the little woman comes out its going to be sunny! When the little man comes out its going to rain! The two characters couldnt be more different. But what happens when the winds of change blow? It might rain, it might get a bit windy, but the show must go on whatever the weather!

    Hail The Folk Heroes

    MUSIC

    A great month for folk fans, with the highlight being the visit by legends of the genre, BOYS OF THE LOUGH [1] to UNIVERSAL HALL, FINDHORN on FRI 13 MAR. Hugely infl uential since the early seventies, their original line-up included the inimitable Cathal McConnell with Dick Gaughan (just before he turned solo), Robin Morton (who eventually left to form legendary label Temple Records) and Aly Bain the latter only leaving a decade ago after thirty years service. Cathal remains on fl ute and singing duties with such a unique voice and character he embodies their sound now joined by Brendan Begley (accordian) and Garry OBriain (guitar) alongside Alys replacement Kevin Henderson from Fiddlers Bid. Highly, highly recommended.

    And theyre not the only folk treats. THE POOZIES [2] featuring founder member and 2014 The Voice runner-up, SALLY BARKER visit GLEN URQUHART PUBLIC HALL on TUE 17 MAR. Sally is joined by (also founder) MARY MACMASTER (electro harp), MAIREARAD GREEN (accordian) and EILIDH SHAW (fi ddle). Expect close vocal harmonies, raucous frenzy and everything in between.

    Keeping the big names coming, Ironworks have THE DANGLEBERRIES [3] (14 MAR) and MNRAN [4] (04 APR); and for folk from that far-fl ung America, you cant go wrong with the fl amboyant banjo-wielding mama from Flagstaff, Arizona (but now living in Edinburgh), CERA IMPALA [5] who, with her band THE NEW PROHIBITION will be showing at EDEN COURT on WED 18 MAR why shes garnering so many accolades from Americana fans.

    For those who prefer something a little more pop & rock, a trio of acts with varying degrees of heritage status come to IRONWORKS in forthcoming weeks. MIDGE URE [6] (18 MAR) and REEF [7] (02 APR) will give you pretty much what you expect, while THE VIEW [8] (29 MAR) may no longer be the young whippersnappers whove visited the Highlands ever since they fi rst burst on the scene, but can still be guaranteed to raise rafters.

    As always, tribute acts are very much in evidence, this month including tribs to MEAT LOAF, JIM REEVES, HARRY NILSSON and KATE BUSH see listings for details on those >>.

    Finally a word for a couple of interesting new ventures: UNKNOWN PLEASURES (IRONWORKS, 06 MAR) fi nds LIONEL and HUNTER & THE BEAR headlining a monthly event featuring new bands and DJing from both Netsounds and IndieNess, while FRIDUB (MAD HATTERS, 13 MAR) is for fans of reggae and dub theres a live performance from RUDY ALBA, while DJs Rabsta, Dropz, Butterscotch and Dan Tierney are your controllers for what should be a mighty night.

    SABA DOUGLAS-HAMILTON is one of the most engaging wildlife presenters on TV and perhaps the most committed, being a trustee of Save The Elephants and tireless in her determination to conserve African wildlife and its indigenous people. Her talk at EDEN COURT on 05 MAR should be fascinating, especially if her answers to our questions from her Kenyan home are anything to go by. You can read the full, fascinating interview, including a heartbreaking tale about a dying elephant and her calf on our website at whatsonhighlands.com, but before that, heres the vital question: Can we get to the bottom of this memory thing? Do they REALLY never forget? Elephants certainly do have phenomenal memories, and with the environment they live in they have to. Their detailed knowledge and understanding of the landscape is passed down through the generations, from mother to child, and can lie dormant for decades before its needed. About 15-20 years ago we had a family of elephants walk quite close past our farm in Naivasha, which has become one of the major fl ower farming areas of Kenya. It mustve once been an old elephant route that linked the Mau forest to the Aberdares, but elephants hadnt been seen there for generations. So its likely the matriarch had walked that route at least once when she was a little calf, remembered it in a time of distress, and in her old age chose to lead her family to what she thought would be greener pastures. Wow. Dont miss the rest of our interview > whatsonhighlands.com
