Thanks Jim!

We were delighted last week to welcome Hampshire singer-songwriter and workshop facilitator,  Jim Chorley to SPACE to run our 2 workshops with local young people to create a song for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.  Jim’s interest is in how the Queen and in particular, her seventy-five years on the throne have fostered a sense of community and how this can be explored through song.  Working together Jim and our young people created a song entitled Lovely Jubbly Jubilee.  You can find the lyrics and listen to the song below.

Lovely Jubbly Jubilee

 

The Queen lives in London

The Jubilee was on Thursday

We had lots of fun

She slayed the day away

 

Chorus:

Let’s have a lovely Jubbly Jubilee

Seventy years of Majesty

Lovely Jubbly Jubilee

 

Her favourite dog is a corgi

She loves all animals

She created the dorgi

Maybe the next will be camels

 

Chorus

 

There are Monarchs all over the world

But none as cool as our Elizabeth

Her hair looks great straight or curly

And she’s got many private chefs

 

Chorus

 

She’s never without her pearls

She loves to wear the colour blue

Her hair is worn in curls

How about you?

 

Chorus

Arts Award Explore

We have great news, for those of you who already have an Arts Award Discover, you can now use our FREE JUBILATION! workshops to achieve your Arts Award Explore, for only the cost of moderation with Trinity College London (our outside moderators who check our marking and administer the award).  This means that your son, daughter, or non-binary child can access our free workshops and achieve the next level of arts award for very little cost.

 

Those who wish to undertake the Arts Award Explore will need to attend all the workshops as part of JUBILATION! Art, Music, Poetry, and Dance, this is because the Arts Award Explore is a higher award and requires more work and evidence than the Discover.

 

The cost to us for moderation and certificate is £14 per a child, but we are able to reduce this cost by to £12 using some of our contingency funding.    If you would like your child to undertake an Arts Award Explore then please email us and we will invoice you via paypal.  This will need to be paid as “friends and family” or a “seller you trust” otherwise there will be costs added and it will cost us money rather than saving you money on moderartion.

Musician/Songwriter Needed For 2 Workshops

Due to funding for a new project this summer (details embargoed by funder until 11th April) we are looking for a musician/songwriter to work with us.

This opportunity would involve two 1 3/4 hour workshops with children/young people to create a song (details about the theme will be given upon application) that they will then perform in Fareham this June.  The workshops will take place once a week in the final two weeks of May (exact date to be confirmed).

 

The main requirements we have for the selected musician is that they hold a current DBS certificate, or if they have a BASIC DBS that it is within the last 6 months; and that they have experience of running workshops and working with children and young people.

 

We will pay the selected musician/songwriter £150 per workshop and up to £20 expenses per session.

It would be nice if the selected musician could attend their performance of the piece, however, this is not mandatory and we are unable to pay for attendance as it will fall outside the time of the workshops.  However, we may be able to cover travel expenses.

 

To apply you can complete the form here. Please remember to insert a link to examples of your work
 

To discuss any aspect of this opportunity please email beth@liveartlocal.co.uk and leave your phone number for an informal chat.

This is a fast-moving project and we will get back to people by the 17th April

Situationism Exhibition at John Hansard Gallery September 2015

Eyes For Blowing Up Bridges: Situationist Int’l – Malcom McLaren

Advance Notice: Eyes For Blowing Up Bridges: Joining the dots from the Situationist International to Malcolm McLaren 26 September – 14 November 2015

We are very excited to announce this new exhibition from the renowned John Hansard Gallery in Southampton.

From Situationism to Beat to Punk, Eyes For Blowing Up Bridges unites a group of remarkable radical artists, poets, writers and activists who initiated, perpetrated and influenced a range of seminal post-war alternative movements.

Presenting rarely exhibited material – including cut-ups, paintings, film, video and sound, as well as self-published books, pamphlets, anarchist propaganda, punk ephemera and graphics – the exhibition examines the creative interplay between William Burroughs, Guy Debord, Asger Jorn, Alexander Trocchi and King Mob, and their collective influence on Malcolm McLaren in his endeavours to disrupt the cultural and social status quo from the 1960s to his premature death in 2010.

Olie på lærred. (Oiel on canvas) 53 x 64,5 cm

Malcolm McLaren co-opted the intellectual vigour of this powerful and difficult group of individuals to make insurrectionary statements from his days as a Situationist art student in the 1960s, to the end of his life in groundbreaking artistic forays expressed through pop culture (fashion, music, environment, performance, film). Having repudiated painting as a bourgeois form of expression like Jorn before him, McLaren’s lifelong work was inspired by such Situationist techniques as détournement (the juxtaposition of pre-existing elements), Burroughs’ ‘cut-ups’, and Debord’s emphasis on the staging of situations “that bring a revolutionary reordering of life, politics and art”.

Eyes For Blowing Up Bridges will present the so-called “defiguration” paintings exhibited by Jorn in the early 1960s, alongside the detourned comic strips of the Situationist International’s literature and Debord’s cinematic masterpiece, The Society Of The Spectacle. McLaren resurrected slogans associated with radical group King Mob, and their commentary on the banalisation of everyday life by the consumer society in the late 1960s. He also lifted text from the porn novels Alexander Trocchi wrote for the Olympia Press in the preceding decade. Original volumes of the revolutionary group’s King Mob Echo will be on display at the exhibition, which will also highlight the links between Trocchi’s book Helen And Desire and McLaren’s t-shirts design entitled ‘I Groaned With Pain’

We at Live Art Local are very excited about this exhibition and cannot wait to visit.  If you want to find out more then visit www.hansardgallery.org.uk
