!950's HMV Radio Gram showing Muse Live From Glastonbury as "After Dark Live Installation)
Phew, I was seriously tired after that weekend, it's taken me almost two days to recover. I'd like to thank everyone responsible for the gifts of items and objects to recycle, and to Joe in particular for his efforts regarding pre-event publicity, and his participation during Sunday afternoon. Now its time for reflection and to see what we can learn for future creative progress and events.
A few things have already emerged concerning some of the recycled art, in particular the HMV multi-media station constructed from an original HMV radio-gram shell. One guest commented that they could easily see it in Tate Modern. Here are a couple of other quotes I remember:
"Inspiring" and "I feel honored to be here"
I was quite pleased with how it all worked out, but let's not get carried away, it was almost a month of constant hard work, and we need more people from all backgrounds, and across all interests if this is going to succeed. You do not need to consider yourself artistic nor creative to get involved, its more important to have a sense of community across any area of life whether its education, art, work, gender, music, media, or politics. The term creativity is not specific to just art, it is specific to all areas of life. All art is not creative, and all creativity is not art. Whereas all life can be considered in a creative sense, but can all life be considered as art?
Essentially western culture has reduced this argument to a religous debate around the nature of existence; is there a supreme being (God) or did we emerge out of the scientific analogy of a "Big bang". hhhhhmmmmm.... anyway here is nice paint spattered designer jacket.

A Couple of people tried this on and it was intresting to see how a normal suit jacket suggests a completely different fashion style and rock n roll persona when it's been creatively recycled, I think more people should give new life to old clothes with some random daubs of paint, School Uniforms for one! Why should it only be art students who get to do this type of thing, surely if the Government wants more "creative minds" as they claim they do, then kids should be able to express thier individuality through thier School uniforms. I think we have just found the first Creative Social Policy for the Education Department of The Creativity P-art-y.
