Free zine event at the British Library this Friday

Zines or fanzines are typically self-published, highly visual and counter cultural. They are low-tech:  a large proportion of zines are made on a photocopier.

British Library curator Andy Simons presents the Library’s collection of zines, ranging from football fanzines to punk zines from the 1970s and the Riot Grrrl movement in the 90s.

This event is free and there are limited spaces. If you would like to book please email frances.taylor@bl.uk

When: Fri 18 May 2012, 10.00 – 11.00

Where: Foyle Suite, Centre for Conservation

Price: Free

CS – new book MOTHERSHIP bigger than Nostromo, maybe even Prometheus?

Yesterday I discovered Epsom public library floating above ground in the Ebbisham Centre, the palace of type alien to many of you.  They have a great Art section -’Art’ covering: graphics, sculpture, painting, architecture, advertising, illustration. I picked up a book – because I liked the cover: Max Huber (Swiss graphic designer) and came across the opinion that the roots of British Pop Art might start with Eduardo Paolozzi in 1948-9 – several years earlier than Richard Hamilton. Go and look, it’s easy to join – just show your uni card and they’ll sign you up. Another great source of books on your doorstep – rumoured to be the ‘Mothership’ of all Surrey Art library books. Remember, in the library everyone can hear you scream. (And if you are touching upon architecture Farnham and Canterbury are the UCA libraries that carry much material)

Ucu strike tomorrow

There will be no teaching tomorrow as UCU members are participating in a day of strike action.

The crit for the behaviour assignment will be re-scheduled to the following week – see blog posting to follow.

We have workshops covering programming, and hardware, through to pin hole cameras. With talks from the likes of Troika, Filip Vijnic (CreativeApplications.net), Nina Pope, Yuri Suzuki, and many more.

There is a great range of stuff going on and to help students bare the financial burden we are offering UCA students a discount of 25% off the paid for talks and workshops…
