  • The Art of Regeneration: the Establishment and Development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985–2010
    The Art of Regeneration: the establishment and development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985–2010 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jane Clayton School of Architecture, University of Liverpool August 2012 iii Abstract The Art of Regeneration: the establishment and development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985-2010 Jane Clayton This thesis is about change. It is about the way that art organisations have increasingly been used in the regeneration of the physical environment and the rejuvenation of local communities, and the impact that this has had on contemporary society. This historical analysis of the development of a young art organisation, the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT), which has previously not been studied in depth, provides an original contribution to knowledge with regard to art and culture, and more specifically the development of media and community art practices, in Britain. The nature of FACT’s development is assessed in the context of the political, socio- economic and cultural environment of its host city, Liverpool, and the organisation is placed within broader discourses on art practice, cultural policy, and regeneration. The questions that are addressed – of local responsibility, government funding and institutionalisation – are essential to an understanding of the role that publicly funded organisations play within the institutional framework of society, without which the analysis of the influence of the state on our cultural identity cannot be achieved. The research was conducted through the triangulation of qualitative research methods including participant observation, in-depth interviews and original archival research, and the findings have been used to build upon the foundations of the historical analysis and critical examination of existing literature in the fields of regeneration and culture, art and media, and museum theory and practice.

  • Beatles History – Part One: 1956–1964
    BEATLES HISTORY – PART ONE: 1956–1964 January 1956–June 1957: The ‘Skiffle Craze’ In January 1956, Lonnie Donegan’s recording of “Rock Island Line” stormed into the British hit parade and started what would become known as the ‘skiffle craze’ in Great Britain (vgl. McDevitt 1997: 3). Skiffle was originally an amateur jazz style comprising elements of blues, gospel, and work songs. The instrumentation resembled New Or- leans street bands called ‘spasms,’ which relied on home-made instru- ments. Before skiffle was first professionally recorded by American jazz musicians in the 1920s and 1930s, it had been performed at ‘rent parties’ in North American cities like Chicago and Kansas City. Many African- American migrant workers organized rent parties in order to raise money for their monthly payments (vgl. Garry 1997: 87). Skiffle provided the musical entertainment at these parties, as everybody was able to partici- pate in the band, which usually consisted of home-made acoustic guitars or a piano backed by a rhythm section of household instruments, such as a washboard, a washtub bass, and a jug (vgl. McDevitt 1997:16). Jazz trumpeter and guitarist Ken Colyer pioneered the skiffle scene in Great Britain. In 1949, he formed the Crane River Jazz Band in Cran- ford, Middlesex, together with Ben Marshall (guitar), Pat Hawes (wash- board), and Julian Davies (bass). Their repertoire included skiffle songs “to illustrate aspects of the roots of jazz and to add variety to a pro- gramme” (Dewe 1998: 4). After leaving the group in 1951, Colyer mi- grated to the United States to work with jazz musicians in New Orleans.

  • To Rudolf Frieling
    To Rudolf Frieling 8 November 2014 Granby TriangleImage courtesy Charlotte Horn Rudolf Frieling San Francisco, USA San Francisco, USA 8 November 2014 R Thanks for your invitation to write something short about Candice Breitz’s Working Class Hero (A Portrait of John Lennon), the piece we have at SFMOMA. You know, my first art-related job was in Liverpool. I once taught a course in Minimalism and Pop Art in the art department of Liverpool John Moores University (Liverpool College of Art, it used to be called), the school where, decades earlier, John Lennon studied. Lennon, aged seventeen, enrolled in September 1957, a month before he and Paul McCartney shared a stage for the first time. Paul was fifteen; his high school adjoined the college. I was back in Liverpool recently and took a different kind of tour – one led by artists and activists who are engaged with the housing crisis in the city. They’re fighting the alliance between government and business that’s dismantling the remaining working-class neighbourhoods. It’s said that the old terraces are worth more as bricks in London than they are as houses in Liverpool — one city is consuming the other. The tour began at the former Park Palace theatre, where John Lennon’s mother, Julia, often saw movies. She was killed in a car accident in 1958. The Park Palace closed in 1959, became a pharmacy, then a vehicle repair shop, then it fell into disuse. Our tour later stopped at the Empress pub, where John and Ringo used to drink. Mural portraits of the two of them are in alcoves high up on the facade.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1 . The literature on American ‘rock ’n’ roll’ and ‘rhythm and blues’ is vast. Two books stand out in presenting detailed explorations of the origins and develop- ment of these musical genres and their impact on wider US society. For rock ’n’ roll, see G. C. Altschuler, All Shook Up: How Rock ’n’ Roll Changed America (Oxford, 2003) and for ‘rhythm and blues’, B. Ward, Just My Soul Responding: Rhythm and Blues, Black Consciousness and Race Relations (London, 1998). 2 . The emphasis on England and the English experience of popular music does not necessarily suggest that the relationship between class and youth culture was always different in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but in some respects it clearly did differ. For examples in the literature, see S. Hill, Blerwytirhwg? The Place of Welsh Pop Music (Aldershot, 2007); M. Kielty, Big Noise: The History of Scottish Rock ’n’ Roll (Edinburgh, 2006); D. Cooper, The Musical Traditions of Northern Ireland and Its Diaspora: Community and Conflict (Aldershot, 2010). 3 . There are really only two academic books written by historians devoted to this aspect of British society. See B. Osgerby, Youth Culture in Britain Since 1945 (Oxford, 1998) and D. Fowler, Youth Culture in Modern Britain, c1920–1970 (Basingstoke, 2008). 4 . W. Straw, ‘Consumption’, in Frith, Straw and Street (eds), The Cambridge Companion to Pop and Rock , p. 55. For a critical survey of the limited histories of popular music, see S. Frith, ‘Writing the History of Popular Music’, in H. Dauncy and P. Le Guern (eds), Stereo: Comparative Perspectives on the Sociological Study of Popular Music in France and Britain (Aldershot, 2011), pp.

J.-Pedro LORENTE Liverpool is undoubtedly one of the best study cases one could choose to discuss the role of museums and the arts in the regeneration of deprived urban areas. Previous work on this topic had shown very interesting examples in districts of New York, Baltimore, Paris, Dublin, Barcelona, Berlin or London. But obviously in such rich and burgeoning cities urban revitalisation has been boosted by an array of vested interests, among which the arts sector was just one component -and not necessarily the most consequential.
