Coded Language @ Peacock Arts, 25-27 Sep

Art pilgrims to Aberdeen take note: the city isn’t on fire. That smoky atmosphere you see hanging overhead is (we like to think) actually a creative harr formed by the many artists that reside in and around its environs. And coming northwards this month to take a big whiff is eminent London graffiti artist Remi Morgan, more commonly known under the tagging guise of Rough. He’s been collaborating with North-east turntablist and producer A La Fu (Big Dada/Vava Records) for a “good few years as art director to his label work”, while the duo have planned “an attack on the ears and eyes of unsuspecting heads for some time now”.

So here they are. Not the usual Ibizan, Parisian or London-based sites (check out the Cans Festival repaint in Waterloo) that Remi’s letterform battlegrounds usually take place in, but their loss is our gain. Some keen-eyed readers out there will know the artist has already stealthily placed his painted mark on a few locations up here: namely new fringe-cutters Wonderland and that monument of daily bread, Earl of Sandwich. And now for three autumnal days in Aberdeen we can gaze upon his space-invading, paint-stricken canvases indoors.

The second day in this short expo (Friday 27 September) features an artist meet and greet from 6-8pm. Then when clubbing hours begin Victory takes hold of the crisply white ‘New York loft’ studio of the Peacock art centre for a soirée in the deepest electronic fashion, with A La Fu and Martin Jay doing the duties there ‘til late.

The Skinny is having a 'yay-we-now-cover-Aberdeen' party at the Martin Miller lubricated Remi/Rough viewing on the Thursday at Peacock (6-10pm), contact Jaco Justice (jaco@theskinny.co.uk) if you're interested in attending and learning more about how to get involved.
