A public relations blitz will be launched tomorrow to mark the 100 day countdown to the introduction of the ban on July 1. Meanwhile, council staff will be em...

Arts and Culture Team. Tuesday, 20 March 2007. 8220;TOTAL Regeneration, Total ASBO.” Scrawled across a wall near Mare Street, this graffiti serves as an indictment of Hackney’s current situation and a warning of the way things could be going, writes. If snot-nosed advertising executives can persuade talented East End artists to use their work as no more than a cynical marketing ploy, how long is it before other things fall by the wayside? In Bristol they are painting over Bansky’s artwork. He m...If the ...

The Hackney Post Arts and Culture: COLUMN: ShawCROSS
http://hackneypost-arts.blogspot.com/2007/03/column-shawcross.html
Arts and Culture Team. Thursday, 15 March 2007. Bemoans the need for modern art ‘blurbs’. Picture this: a three-metre square candy pink canvas, intersected by six panels of pale pink paint. That’s it – big bland and boring. You are currently visualising ‘Incubus’, a painting by Gary Hume, which dominates the first floor of the Tate Modern. Not many people stop for ‘Incubus’: it’s not as fun as the slides, and hasn’t got Picasso’s kudos. We don’t need a pocket-sized bit of practical criticism to app...

Arts and Culture Team. Thursday, 22 March 2007. TRYING NEW THINGS IN HACKNEY SPECIAL:. Finding new music: Julian meets Robin. Hackney is a hot bed of new musical talent.
