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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
