Peckham Exploration
Really enlightening day with Pat & Trevor / Jimmy & Joe. If you missed it, you missed out, what can I say. I have loads of photos but too many and too large to put up so... here's a link to my Flickr so you can view them in all their glory.
Art/Awesome stroll in Peckham - Jenni B
Really interesting day, observing a creative environment starting at Area 10. Particularly thought those "debate" pods were such a great idea, pods for thought. What a great atmosphere and organisation. Great views from on top of the carpark, liked not knowing where we were going, its good to see people making the most of desolate areas. Never been to Peckham and most places we were taken, I think Jimmy and J-Dog rounded those 4 trips up lovely jubbly!! (only fools and horses), my hands clap for you.:o)

some cheekys from a morning in peckham - iso wil
For your veiwing plesure
jimmy and j dog hosting a lovely friday morning in peckham.
Saw some really wicked stuff, really liked the warehouse, particualry the space aspect. Sometimes i think theres just not enough room for ideas to come out, feel like im trying to pull a banana out my nose sometimes. so that went down a storm with me! all very inspireing stuff.
Later on we looked into intergration and the effects of aproaching strangers and people you wouldnt normally talk to. I enjoyed this, was a fun novelty. think its always good to push outside the comfort zones. Me and isabella fernandez had a good time with it - my main motivation for blogging was to share these cheeky pics with you all. They tickled me. ha
pictures curtosy of fernandez photography.
me and the ladz
fernandez (well up for it)

(no inappropriate or crude caption for this one)
Thats all from me, hope these can be enjoyed. got alot out of friday, thanks j&j!
Peckham (Afternoon) --Emma
I really enjoyed the workshop as if we hadn't gone on it, we may have never known these places were there, let alone have seen them. Some of the places are so random as well, such as the car park but are being used for great things and the empty space is being used creatively. Its interesting to hear from people some of the knowledge they have about particular areas and exhibitions, as then we can pass some of this on to more people.
Peckham (Afternoon) --Emma
Always cool hearing other peoples experiences, so was an interesting talk and I know quite a few people felt inspired after seeing the paintings, even if its not the type of work that they usually like. I definitely want to try a painting like this sometime and experiment with it. Personally I liked all of the work in the gallery and was all interesting to see.

WEEK 2: MYSTERY TOUR / FRANK TROUTBECK
With the theme of Editing being forefront in our minds, I turned my thoughts to the way we edit space - both how we organize it, and how we steer ourselves around it. Nature in the city comes right up to us here, and taps us on the shoulder. If we pay attention to small details then all sorts of hidden things start to reveal themselves: sky rats, seeds, secret flowers, falcon feathers, slime. But if we pay too much attention to the small, will we lose sight of the bigger picture. This links back into your Scale theme of last week. Good editing requires the minute and the mega, micro and macro to held in mind at the same time.
Anyway, keep your eyes peeled, and here's that poem:
The green man's unseen hand
spans traffic islands, urban demands,
vast city light glands, cars, buses, taxis, trains, cats and dogs doing handstands,
threading our space like a noisy noise garland.
- but don't worry, it's all been planned,
there's nothing to UNDERstand.
Just listen, wait, he won't come on demand,
appears in front of you as you're crossing the road:
a guide who simply shows how to get to the other side,
but that's nott the only thing the green man knows.
Quite apart from the blossoming roads, walls, windows, shadows,
the city still grows...
moss between the paving slabs
buddleia by railway tracks
grass massing in parks
millions of insects hiding in the dark
working together to carry nature's spark
through the city labyrinth that sometimes seems ruled by chance,
but all these things work beyond the merry dance of coincidence...
So meet the green man in the green man pub
near the green man roundabout
for shandy, organic grub, and hear him spout about
ivy leaves, how the city breathes,
through trees peopling streets,
how puddles are pools for ghost fishes to meet
and eels swim livid under london's bridges,
nudging out crayfish from muddy underwater ditches
like suds on dirty dishes.
The green man feels the city's bloody beating heart
in the twitter and dart of the black redstart.
A red-tailed bird, black body, cheeky eye,
it lives in high ruins, checks out the low sky,
likes power stations and railway sidings,
when the thames tide comes in it sings,
flicks its wings and goes out to find things.
Yesterday, vibing on some free wi-fi
i got an email from an uknown sender,
subject header: 'RE: Earth'
saying, 'the green man is a symbol of rebirth,
he's got green sticky hair
and he seems to be everywhere.'
See you there...
