Comments on: AtHQ – Some Thoughts on Work… http://athq.wordpress.com/2008/06/19/some-thoughts-on-work/ documents from attack the headquarters Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:05:19 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Rory http://athq.wordpress.com/2008/06/19/some-thoughts-on-work/#comment-815 Rory Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:05:19 +0000 http://hutnyk.wordpress.com/?p=728#comment-815 I was pondering local spaces for arts and possibly funding. I think you might not know about it, but The Albany in Douglas Way in Deptford is really supportive of local artists and projects, and they are friendly to the point of being a little scary. This weekend, in case you didnt know, is the Made in Deptford festival, and will feature all sorts of local artists, musicians, etc. It's part of a larger project to "revitalise" the Deptford area. In terms of space, theres this awesome cafe/old train carriage/gallery/art platform on Deptford High Street called the Deptford Project that is awesome and would be a good place to hang a show and they would probably have good ideas for funding sources. Pardon me for pluggin my little bit of London and not helping you out with other place/funding ideas. what can I say, im "community-oriented"? here's the links www.thealbany.org.uk www.madeindeptford.co.uk www.thedeptfordproject.com hope its helpful, and in any case, im gonna go check out what the "working" people of deptford and new cross are doing at the Made in Deptford festival this weekend. Might generate some ideas/projects/rantings/questions. I was pondering local spaces for arts and possibly funding.

It is a whole separate issue as to whether we think its a good thing to flood the world with high spec readers of the various Logics (of sense, the greater, the shorter, the critique thereof, the negative dialogic...) as some sort of master plan to retool the HQs of the planet with a critical substratum of theory-service workers, who one day will pull a switch somewhere and - kapow - the whole spectacular system will fall. Though, sometimes that is what it seems we grandiosely think we are working towards.

I know I would, nowt wrong with a bit of nepotism :) I thought supervisors – at least at PhD level – were *supposed* to assist with jobs and stuff.

Maybe funding can be found through Arts Council or similar. - The old library space sounds good. Maybe funding can be found through Arts Council or similar.
