Imagine having a 30 year old village built to house 500 people that has been abandoned since the day it was built and being able to do what you want with it, thats the situation these lucky Graffiti Artists recently found themselves in. The Ghostvillage Project was created over 3 days on the west coast of Scotland by 6 artists known collectively as Agents of Change – Timid, Remi/Rough, System, Stormie Mills, Juice 126, Derm.
