| COMMENT:
The £50 Danger Fund - Peter Hames |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Theme:
The Great Artistic Metropolis - a reference to the romantic
vision of John Maynard Keynes, first chairman of the Arts Council
in 1945 who, "dreamed that cities which were 'half a ruin' might
one day be remade as 'the great artistic metropolis'".
The Great Artistic Metropolis was also the title of the First
National Public Art Conference, in November 2005 organised by
the A&AJ and Landor Conferences and concerned with themes relating
to Art in the City and the recognition of the place of art and creativity
within cultural and environmental regeneration. A&AJ64 continues
to develop this theme through the link between creativity, culture
and change to affect the built environment, people, communities
and philosophies. It presents the issues raised by the conference.
