| 2008-2009 CLOSING DOWN OVER RADIO BROADCAST: SOUNDART RADIO: During 2009 GilbertandGrape are closing down, reprocessing all their things and returning the Moose to the Sunset. As we do this we invite you to join us to draw pictures each Tuesday at 12.30pm (GMT) over the SoundArt radio broadcast 102.fm to mark the event. Each week we will draw one of our things together with our radio broadcast audience. We will then pass the object into our local economy for further use by giving it to our nearest thrift store. >READ MORE FIELD

Amazon with their lone ranger, a 20 kilo stuffed moose head in the back
seat. Driving through urban and rural landscapes with the immense dedication
and commitment to their quest to return the lone ranger to the sunset
in Nordkapp where the midnight sun never sets.
