    Thurs July 19 - 10pm: Whatever Happened to the Avant-Garde?

    The RT blurb states:

    Where can you go to find the avant-garde today? Does it still exist? Paul Morley meets artists, musicians, comedians and writers who think it still lives - just. With former head of Central St Martin's Willie Walters; pianist Steve Beresford, Gregor Muir, Tate's director of collection, international art; and ex-Gang of Four member Jon King. Evolutionary neuropsychologist Gilly Forrester throws some evolutionary bombshells into the debate.

    Notwithstanding Steve Beresford's inclusion I don't hold out a lot of hope for this programme, particularly if Ms Forrester is brought onto deliver the final coup de grĂ¢ce (we've asked our gardener not to undertake the latter in this hot weather), telling us that capitalist realism is final - the outcome of millions of years of human evolution... But it could provide enough disputatious comment to ignite a healthy discussion on here.

    Sorry if I dragged anyone else into this directionless hotch-potch of a programme.

      Fortunately, I saw this too late. I wouldn't have held out much hope with Morley and a Go4 member involved, really. ( and I quite liked Go4, despite their lyrical clumsiness, but they didn't have much to do with anything AG, really.)
      Would have been nice to be wrong.

      S_A, you should be ashamed of yourself ......


      ( Can we safely assume they didn't discover what happened to it ?)
      I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

      I am not a number, I am a free man.
