After the whirl and blur of noise of nonsense high speed news and He touches his car,
For those inured to the art world having been commandeered by high finance, now is the time of reckoning. In view of the Occupy movement’s fight against plutocracy, the arts community should scrutinize the role financial institutions have played, and continue to play, in the collapse of the economy. Those same corporations maintain a benevolent public image through funding the arts; I will mention a handful of these oligarchic “arts supporters” in this article. Edward Burra, transgressive painter of English countryside and dockside bars http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2011/nov/18/edward-burra-transgressive-painter Susie Cagle writes and draws true stories & the founder of the Graphic Journos collective. At the OccupyLSX site at St Pauls Cathedral there is a lot of Art on the walls, making the area into a sort of people’s gallery. Many drawings are full of slogans and messages. I’ve built this cartoon generator to make it easier to make cartoons, to get involved in Occupy LSX, to speak out. I hope people at St Pauls – and people everywhere – use it to make cartoons and share them. Once enough are created I will print them and stick on walls around St Pauls. I’m asking well-known cartoonists to contribute. The generator needs a wide variety of backgrounds and characters, elements the public can re-mix into their own creations. It’s ideal if these come from professional cartoonists – and so far Martin Rowson (of the Guardian) has kindly contributed. The project on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/208234555916306/ “it should be obvious that Richard Chartres is a greedy and ambitious toe-rag who is acting in the interests of the City of London and the British establishment. His offer to mediate between protesters and the financial sector is a sick joke. Anti-capitalists shouldn’t trust Chartres any further than they can throw him. He’s a City of London puppet. It’s high time some real pressure was put on wankers like Chartres who act as secret ambassadors for The City. If we really want to Occupy London then we need to bash this bishop!” Cartoonist Stephen Collins joins the Guardian “A lot of cartoonists thusly do not present or discuss anything that is or may be seen as political or editorial in their cartoons because they ‘don’t want to upset people’ or ‘polarize’ readers, or have anyone think they are ‘biased’ or ‘polarizing’. Okay. Fair enough. But that doesn’t mean ‘most people simply don’t like editorial cartoons’…” |
