Submitted by Neon_Black81 on Sunday, 20 December, 2009 - 19:25
Adam Ford Something which seemed unthinkable only a few weeks ago has just happened. 'Killing In The Name', a 1992 song about police brutality and racism has beaten the X Factor and Simon Cowell to the Christmas number one. The final festive chart topper of the decade is by fiercely radical rap metal group Rage Against The Machine. It's a story that has captured the public imagination, and captivated the corporate mass media. subject: Activism | Music | Socially Engaged

By Josephine Berry Slater & Anthony Iles Through her zine Savage Messiah, drawings and public drifts, artist Laura Oldfield Ford has recoded the urban fabric of London, bringing its repressed revenants to the fore. Josephine Berry Slater and Anthony Iles interviewed her about the varied registers of her practice and the processes of regeneration it critically chronicles.

As the Creative City model for urban regeneration founders on the rocks of the recession, and the New Labour public art commissioning frenzy it triggered recedes, Anthony Iles and Josephine Berry Slater take stock of an era of highly instrumentalised public art making. subject: Art | Cultural Industries | New Enclosures | Patronage | Site-Specific | Socially Engaged

Reactor / Ben I am hoping this is some kind of parody of the nigh universal tendency for (relational/new media/ all?) art to resemble the collateral campaign in The Man Without Qualities. [cf Matthew Hyland's great article on Documenta in Mute a few years back]. But it might just be a second order symptom of the disease hiding behind the illusion of a cure. subject: Art | Artivism | Biotechnology | Conceptual | Socially Engaged | Surrealist
