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
Article about Fanzines by Dave Haslam
- 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?
