Brilliant. Most artists ignore the headlines of today but few convey the forces that affect their daily lives , few express the feeling of the hand on your shoulder.

Who was it burned a million quid and called it art ? Bill Drummond ? I'd accept that. But burn Tony Blair for real, that'd be great art, non plus ultra.

Banksy is about a million miles in front of you but you are closing fast, more power to your angst !

its about time somone posted some art related stuff to the site.
the art that really counts are things that make people think imo.
there is alot of protest art out there but all we seem to get is pics of graffitti (thats not a bad thing) but there really should be more art related stuff posted here
And I know many activists have been or are artists.
Like the saying goes "If there aint any space for art in the revolution then its not my revolution! (along those lines anyway)

Zcat,

Graffitti is just art in an unauthorised location, like a weed is any plant where the gardener doesn't want it. And all authorised art is just a coca-cola advert. I fully agree that there should be more arts related stuff and individual creativity on protest marches/actions whatever rather than the same self-important talking heads who constantly drone on and bore us with stuff we already know. The situationalists still bore us from their graves by having recognised this.

More music please! The main reason the vietnam war was ended was because we had decent protest singers back then. Music killed the nazis as surely as water killed the wicked witch.

Maybe since you also recognise this then in six months time we'll be entertained or challenged by your own work on a demo. How about a mass flag-burning, where people of every nation come together to disrepect their own state ?

Respect to Mark and I hope he gets arrested so more people get to hear about him.




Yeah, tell'em about it,
Hit'em where it hurts
Hey, Kool Thing, come here, sit down beside me
There's something I gotta ask you.

Fear of a female planet? Fear of a female planet?
Fear, baby!
I just want to know that we can still be friends
