Walk & Don't Look Back - Peter Tosh & Mick Jagger /  by JoFF Rae

If it's love that you're running from
There is no hiding place
Just your problems, no one else's problems
Could just have to face

If you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna lay all our troubles behind
We're gonna walk and don't look back
Gonna walk and don't look back

Now if your first love has let you down
There's something can be done
Don't you have your faith in love
Remembering what been gone

So if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna lay all our troubles behind
Gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back

If you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna lay all our troubles behind
We're gonna walk and don't look back
Gonna walk and don't look back

Places behind you
There to remind you

If your first love have broke your heart
There's something can be done
Don't have your faith in love
Remembering what's been gone

But if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna lay all our troubles behind
Gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back

IntErupt >> The Fake Taupō Farts Festerval 2012 /  by JoFF Rae

well... a disappointment to say the least! Much like the TDC Arts Policy...

ARTIVIST : creative made criticism of the Erupt Taupo Arts Festival program with a simple question - "is there more?" which was quickly answered with a link to the complete program, an acknowledgement & personal reference & then a private message... the message below*.  We suggest the festival General Manager Kylie Hawker coveniently forgets she receives public funding & is open to public scrutiny.

Now our issue with these guys is they participate in a circle that will accept mediocrity & pat themselves on the back for a job... well... done... done so the boxes that need ticking have been ticked & their conservative non creative attempt at serving the public with public funds for public arts has been met - or not - what does it matter to them as long as they are not having to answer any tough questions or actually facilitate any art.  There must be some Council Art Policy for that surely?!?

ARTIVIST : creative has a couple of issues with the attitude from Council to public art & it starts with their own Public Art Policy 2006 (pdfs of the policy & guidelines posted).  The Policy clearly refers to a Arts Advisor who will administer & is available for consultation for both acquisition & proposal of public arts projects.  Now we'd assume this Advisor would be qualified to fulfill the requirements with capability for acquisition, valuation, assessment & appreciation of public art works including sculpture, installation, major works & pieces for public places & spaces in Taupō & that this role would be considered important with $100K of public funding for acquistion & several thousands dedicated to the Erupt attempt at a festival...

Well unfortunately not... there is no Arts Advisor & according to our sources Gareth Greene, the 2IC at Council won't even consider the policy when he makes any decisions - in his words "I've never even read it".  Aledgedly, when offered the policy paper he said "Council doesn't need to consider policy..." & refused to even look at the paper.

    • Hi Joff, not quite sure that it's particularly professional or polite to challenge 'Erupt' via facebook?!?!? We don't NEED to include a street art element in our Festival programme - as you know Graffiato was created as our urban art event... and we've got a few more things lined up that I'm not going to reveal until they happen. As we've discussed before I think it's great that you (and others) are creating your own artwork and street art activity in town - I would never post a negative comment about your projects on your facebook page - so politely request that you offer the same level of professional respect.
      Cheers
      Kylie

  • ARTIVIST: creative by any means necessary!

    • pfft... I'm not a "professional" for a start... I do art because I believe in it... I love it... I love the challenge.

      I'm disappointed in the Erupt Festival... the program is soft in my opinion & I'll share that opinion where I like...

      your Graffiato was a disappointment too... don't attempt it if you don't expect criticism - especially from me...

      but most of all... keep following your "professional" line... I'll keep hating on it!

      Cheers

      Ciao

Banksy on Advertising /  by JoFF Rae

"People are taking the piss out of you everyday.  They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear.  They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small.  They make flippant comments from buses that imply you're not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else.  They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate.  They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it.  They are "The Advertisers" and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them.  Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that.  Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours.  It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use.  You can do whatever you like with it.  Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing.  Less than nothing, you especially don't owe them any courtesy.  They owe you.  They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you.  They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs."
