Too Much
First published in 1986, Too Much records the tumultuous period between 1960 and 1975 when, more than at any other time in history, the arts were a battleground for the conflicting forces of social change. With the new affluence of the Sixties the cultural conformism of the previous decade was rejected in favour of new forms of expression. Pop Art, pop music, fringe theatre and performance poetry helped to create the semi-mythological image of ‘S…
The Dialectics of Liberation
When Richard Neville came to sum up the salient features of the underground in Play Power he produced a list that follows Richard Hamilton’s prescription for Pop, but emphasizes the anarchic at the expense of the creative: ‘Alive, exciting, fun, ephemeral, disposable, unified, uncontrollable, lateral, organic and popular.’ ‘The Dialectics of Liberation – Towards a Demystification of Violence’ took over the Round House from 15 to 30 July.

Creative Britain”
This paper is based on a keynote address for the 2010 Cultural Trends Conference “A Golden Age?”. It explores the rhetoric of “creativity” that dominated the New Labour government's cultural policy discourse, and argues that while the promotion of the creative industries and of the economic contribution of culture strengthened the hand of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in attracting resources, there was a price to pay, in the …
