TALKS ON ART - series 6 at Storey Gallery Lancaster
S T O R E Y G A L L E R Y
The contemporary art world is at times unfathomable and intangible. What makes a decorated dead bull sell for £10 million, while your most talented mate struggles to scrape a decent review and 50 squids? How do you get from art student, to art super star?
Many consider this apparent lottery to be directly related to the whims of Charles Saatchi, and in a way it is. The power of Saatchi’s wallet is undoubtedly a force with considerable influence, in the same way that Simon Cowell’s taste in music shapes what a large proportion of the population considers to be a decent tune. But the world of contemporary art is governed by a multitude of factors, all working co-dependently to support artists, gallerists, curators, critics, writers and an inexhaustible list of other interested individuals.

Freedom of Expression Sat 11 Oct
Freedom of Expression Sat 11 Oct
Following the meeting hosted by Nerve about Freedom of Expression a call has gone out for All groups to make their presence felt in Church St on Saturday
11th October: ( This is Freedom Not Fear Day. See: http://www.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de/content/view/242/144/ )
We need to send a clear message to the police/council not to mess with our right to protest.
15 people from various groups (Animal Rights, AF, Socialist Party, Nerve, The Institute for the Art and Practice of Dissent at Home) and individuals
attended the first meeting on Saturday. It was agreed that we invite all groups who protest on the streets of Merseyside, (including community and
tenants groups) to join forces by setting up an Alliance (name to be decided) which will explore ways of countering what was described as the
'zero tolerance' policy of the police against protesters. As a start the Alliance will:
1. Ask all groups to gather in Church St. (see above, time to be decided). Each group to organise their own stall and, if possible, a creative piece for the event. Music, theatre, etc.
2. Produce a common leaflet for the event explaining what we are doing.
3. Contact the Merseyside Police Association to ask their views on street leafleting/protest.
Next meeting set for 1pm, 4th October in the Social Centre, Bold St.
