  • Youth Culture and Nightlife in Bristol
    Youth culture and nightlife in Bristol A report by: Meg Aubrey Paul Chatterton Robert Hollands Centre for Urban and Regional Development Studies and Department of Sociology and Social Policy University of Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK In 1982 there were pubs and a smattering of (God help us) cocktail bars. The middle-aged middle classes drank in wine bars. By 1992 there were theme pubs and theme bars, many of them dumping their old traditional names in favour of ‘humorous’ names like The Slug and Lettuce, The Spaceman and Chips or the Pestilence and Sausages (actually we’ve made the last two up). In 2001 we have a fair few pubs left, but the big news is bars, bright, shiny chic places which are designed to appeal to women rather more than blokes with swelling guts. In 1982 they shut in the afternoons and at 11pm weekdays and 10.30pm Sundays. In 2001 most drinking places open all day and many late into the night as well. In 1982 we had Whiteladies Road and in 2001 we have The Strip (Eugene Byrne, Venue Magazine July, 2001 p23). Bristol has suddenly become this cosmopolitan Paris of the South West. That is the aspiration of the council anyhow. For years it was a very boring provincial city to live in and that’s why the music that’s come out of it is so exciting. Cos it’s the product of people doing it for themselves. That’s a real punk-rock ethic. (Ian, music goer, Bristol). Contents Contents 2 List of Tables 5 Introduction 6 Chapter 1.

Yes, yes there is. Like falling in love. Or getting your work seen by masses of people. Or getting acquainted with a new city. While we can’t help much with the former two, nor can we give you fool- proof ways to ace your way through academia, getting acquainted (or re- acquainted) with a place you now have to call home is something we’re experts on. Each of us at ArtRabbit has gone through the daunting task of navigating the cultural terrain of new cities and the art world at large as wide-eyed uni students, and we’ve all come out the other end full of wisdom that your school administration could only dream of imparting. This how-to guide (or where-to guide) isn’t just for finding places to see art. This is about getting the most out of your formative years and the most from the city you’ll call home, whichever city that might be. We’ve divided our guide in two sections: The first is all about specific locations. We curated the London chapter and worked with some of the most interesting local organisations to introduce other UK cities.

  • Informal Peer Learning Between Contemporary Artists in Bristol and Selected Uk Cities Outside London
    INFORMAL PEER LEARNING BETWEEN CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS IN BRISTOL AND SELECTED UK CITIES OUTSIDE LONDON How do contemporary artists learn from their peers outside of formal education and what motivates them to do so? MEGAN LOUISE WAKEFIELD A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy This research programme was carried out in collaboration with Spike Island, Bristol Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education February 2013 1 ABSTRACT Informal Peer Learning between Contemporary Artists in Bristol and Selected UK Cities Outside London How do contemporary artists learn from their peers outside of formal education and what motivates them to do so? This research has been carried out as part of a collaborative doctoral award with partners Spike Island Art and Design Centre and University of the West of England. It employs a mixed methods approach, including participatory action research, reflexive practice and semi-structured interviews to explore artists’ peer learning in the context of literature from education theory, network theory, philosophy, art theory and sociology. It takes as research participants, artists from the Spike Associates Group, Spike Island, Bristol, and artists from self-organised groups and organisationally facilitated membership groups in several UK cities outside London. It found that peer interactions between artists are particularly significant in times of transition when peer learning pivots on mutual recognition, countering isolation, nurturing self-determination and accessing resources. The construction and reconstruction of practitioner subjectivities and practice identities is a significant peer learning process, often incorporating the initiation of spaces where practice identities can be temporarily suspended.
