Dave Haslam

Thought provoking statements from Dave Haslam's talk last week:

 

 - What happens at the margins is where the future lies

 - smallscale and informal or mainstream

 - Cultural significance means how much difference it makes, not how many people know about it

 - FANZINES are the mouthpiece of marginal activity

 - There is a feeling now of going against technology, being low-fi

 - the waters broke, giving life

 - have a street-level connection

 - don't be a consumer, participate (or maybe pARTicipate is more appropriate for us as artists who are meant to be collaborating?)

 - Linder Sterling is someone he talked about a LOT

 - For some people, a great day out is a visit to Southern Cemetery

 - shift the earth off its axis

 - Salon des Refuses, or exhibition of rejects

 - Manchester is an industrial ruin, therefore there is space for growth

 - when the mainstream catches up, the marginalised becomes normal

 - Don't go to places with a capacity of more than 300 people

 - poets and ranters

 - the independent and non-corporate people just get on with it

 - intervene, change the times

 

 

 

 

Does anybody want to make a fanzine together?
