not new news I spose


http://brockleycentral.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/10m-peckham-complex-to-transform-south.html


whenever you see "Kunsthalle" you know art movers and shakers ( but not actual artists IYKWIM ) are in the game.


Do these people contribute to art or are they just the Fixie riding arts management Blitzkrieg shock troops of the bearded culture brownshirts looking for lebensraum?


YOU are the jury

It's just a branch of the fundraising industry and, apart from the moral flexibility, there's nothing wrong with that. Admittedly, it's more often a self-starting branch, what with fundraising traditionally relying more than most on appearance and charisma, and, because they're effectively scraping a living from other people's work, they're on the same ethical plane as the fence or the gangmaster. But we live in a world where 'adding value' is what keeps our economy turning, and if it wasn't for the burgeoning rafts of questionable middlemen, we'd all be well sunk by now.


My advice would be to treat their activities as performances and not worry too much about whether it means anything or what it'll cost you. Think of it as stimulus. Besides, there'll always be someone, somewhere subverting something, and the ones you know about are not the ones you need to fret about, however objectionably self-serving they may seem.


In any case, kind words cost nothing, and giving people the benefit of the doubt is exactly the sort of thing that'll make your sunless innards feel a little better. I hate to be presumptive, but your question suggests they're not in the happiest of states this afternoon.

I love Burbage a little bit.

Who would have thought the old Sainsburys car park in Peckham would turn into an arts hub. What next? Shall we turn the old ED police station into an ironic post modern nod to the dying working class culture of south-east London? Tate Light? Where have my digestives gone.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
