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.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
