  • Play and No Work? a 'Ludistory' of the Curatorial As Transitional Object at the Early
    All Play and No Work? A ‘Ludistory’ of the Curatorial as Transitional Object at the Early ICA Ben Cranfield Tate Papers no.22 Using the idea of play to animate fragments from the archive of the Institute of Contemporary Arts, this paper draws upon notions of ‘ludistory’ and the ‘transitional object’ to argue that play is not just the opposite of adult work, but may instead be understood as a radical act of contemporary and contingent searching. It is impossible to examine changes in culture and its meaning in the post-war period without encountering the idea of play as an ideal mode and level of experience. From the publication in English of historian Johan Huizinga’s Homo Ludens in 1949 to the appearance of writer Richard Neville’s Play Power in 1970, play was used to signify an enduring and repressed part of human life that had the power to unite and oppose, nurture and destroy in equal measure.1 Play, as related by Huizinga to freedom, non- instrumentality and irrationality, resonated with the surrealist roots of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London and its attendant interest in the pre-conscious and unconscious.2 Although Huizinga and Neville did not believe play to be the exclusive preserve of childhood, a concern for child development and for the role of play in childhood grew in the post-war period. As historian Roy Kozlovsky has argued, the idea of play as an intrinsic and vital part of child development and as something that could be enhanced through policy making was enshrined within the 1959 Declaration of the

  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

    PROCESS: The Working Practices of Barney Bubbles | i-D Online 28/09/2010 22:59 Home » i-Spy » PROCESS: The Working Practices of Barney Bubbles search - Published by i-D 11:49 GMT 22/09/10 More + Cited as a major influence to contemporary practitioners including Peter Saville, Malcolm Garrett and Neville Brody, Barney Bubbles was a radical graphic artist. Coinciding with the London Design Festival, last night the CHELSEA Space celebrated its latest exhibition showcasing the working processes of the late master designer. Born Colin Fulcher (he loved a pseudonym and stuck with Bubbles in 67), the enigmatic designer worked across the disciplines of graphic design, painting and music video direction, working with artists including Ian Drury, Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg and Iggy Pop. Referred to as "the missing link between Pop and Culture" by Peter Saville, Bubbles was most renowned for his work with the British independent music scene during the 70s and early 80s. Fellow designer Julian Balme who created sleeves for Madness, Clash and Adam and The Ants and would often visit Bubbles at his studio, told i-D Online, "Bubbles taught me more than any other university lecturer". More + Curated by Paul Gorman, PROCESS includes an array of work never previously shown, most of it borrowed from private collections. The displays are fascinating and represent the varying stages of Bubbles' creative life, including student notebooks, reference materials, his CV, original artwork, books, magazines, paintings, photography, record sleeves, T-shirts, posters, advertisements, badges and stickers and videos directed by Bubbles. Together, the exhibition clearly demonstrates the designer's signature style.
