The foundation to all civilisation!

They say that an image can convey a thousand words, if this is indeed true then it supersedes the need for a written language or so one might be inclined to believe.
  From the dawn of man civilisations have captured wishes and experience through the mediums of the arts from cave paintings to present day graffiti the overwhelming desire that mankind has always had to create. This of course has a Yin and Yang parody for as well as we are able to create so adept are we, indeed endowed with an ability to destroy,but to create order in an engulfing chaos , to catalogue, identify and to explain so that we might be able to improve our influence against the seeming disorder to be able to create a more autonomous equilibrium in which to live and be able to carry out our day to day lives.
  when we go back to what we unwittingly describe as the basic level; Neolithic Man for example, tribal society has its own hierarchy of belief and ritual each person within the community acts according to the role imposed upon them in accordance with that hierarchy, at the end of daylight hours when it is no longer viable to track or hunt or engage many of the activities that tribal societies conduct during the hours of high visibility.
 We are to presume that the individual who having completed the daily tasks remained alert and determined enough to follow through with the compulsion beyond that of his company, to sit by fire light and to whittle or to paint or draw to make something that was a reflection of something that he or she felt.
 When our earliest ancestors were first seeking shelter from the elements in the pre dawn of human habitation.To prevent themselves sitting in the mud they went and got a stone or log to sit on, over time others began to do the same, the first of our ancestors to encourage this began to sit on there makeshift seat come rain or shine ...and began to work the wood/stone, so that over time it displayed pictorial carvings of fanciful things.
  The dawn of trade, industry,and literate humans?

Seeking the advice of the ignorant!

Buy your Art from people who know nothing of the subject,
Vote for the fools who will take your freedoms,
Buy your dinner from Mcdonalds,
Pay into your pension that you wont live to collect,
accept your lot and tell your children that, its just the way it is,
or be Valerious and live your life in freedom.

Valerioism its Valerious!

Valerioism began just before the turn of the twenty first century in Cornwall and concerns the movement inspired by the prominent yet elusive artist Valerio. Whos influence was to inflame the entire establishment, not only through art but also through architecture , poetry, music and philosophy and waqs the initial turning point of recreational professionalism. It turned away from what had become the convention and pre conception of what art was generally considered to be in that place and time.

After the commercialization and corporate attempts to monopolise the high street means of art retail , the inevitable retaliation by the true creative core, the independent artists and galleries, was to steer once again towards the raw essence of true social , theological , and environmental concerns in an attempt to once again create enduring art and to encourage genuine patrons to think and feel, instead of succumbing to the inherent obsessive compulsive acquisition mentality that had become so common.

In turn this coined the term 'Valerious' to describe a system of embracing ones existence and to literally live life till it kills you. An ironically stoic approach, whilst still making acknowledgement of the profound importance of influence and suggestion for the beneficial progression of humanity.
 During these politically charged decades some even considered it to encompass a kind of martyrdom tendency.

if only it was as simple as that.....

reference to the Illuminati trilogy, and indeed much does go on.......................

The London Underground.

In regard to the recent article featured in Thursday's Evening Standard, the Arts Council's position seems to be under attack from the governments frenzied cuttings. The real problem that is apparent here in these times of economic turmoil and uncertainty is that there simply isn't enough production and manufacture happening here.

This country was always through  the pages of history a very lucrative place to be, we had the raw materials and the ingenuity to be able to take the very fabric of the countryside and turn it not only into a means of sustenance, but so much more than that, with the development of labour saving technologies medicinal technologies and humanitarian policy.

In recent years we have seen the huge increases in the prices of certain commodities, take fuel and property alone, using just those two examples as a means of gauging production and consumption. Both could now be argued as a limited resource, and ones given the anticipated continued population explosions would denote that perhaps this trend of taking commodities that used to be plentiful and are now perceivably harder to evenly distribute. If you take those commodities out of the reach of the poorest people by means of overvaluation then they become less accustomed to being so reliant on it. Anyone familiar with the enclosure acts of the 1700s knows that  the dividing and redistribution of common land was tackled in much the same way, then those who would ordinarily desire those commodities will 'choose' to be less dependent on them as financial constraint's coerce them into finding a more economically viable means within the limits of their own budgets.

Phew, so when the creatives are undermined and ridiculed, you know that as our last testament to a productive people that could actually work themselves out of poverty using only the land that they were born into dwindles from the imagination of the majority that have allowed themselves to be blindsided.

Leave it to those with the sense of imagination and direction, to try something different and personally I can think of no better way to begin than to take the land back from those that would keep it from us, and to encourage as many as would care to live a different way to steer our infra-structure back to the people relying on themselves a little more instead of having to show obedient gratitude for the minimum we are granted by the powers that be .
