COMMONSense book launch THIS LAUNCH TAKES PLACE AT SPACE STUDIOS, MARE STREET,HACKNEY, LONDON - www.spacestudios.org.uk Many thanks to Space Studios for hosting this event. There will be several short talks by contributors and others including Dougald Hine (editor of COMMONSense, Co-founder The Dark Mountain Project), Jim Previtt (Space Studios) & Jake Harries (Arts Programmer, Access Space). What is COMMONSense? It is a 62 page magazine created from submissions to a call for pieces which reflect a theme connecting the activities of Access Space to the wider world, "the commons". We asked for prose (stories, thoughts, book reviews, bibliographies...), poetry, photographs, cartoons, drawings or graphics. People sent us material relating to green issues, land ownership, social relations, the internet, copyright, software and a whole host of other subjects. COMMONSense was edited by Dougald Hine, with art direction by Anne-Marie Culhane. The publication is being made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial license (see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/uk/) Dougald Hine of describes it like this: "The theme of the issue is < COMMONSense >. Not so long ago, the only people who talked about "the commons" were historians; today, the language of the commons is central to debates around intellectual property, environmental protection, and resistance to globalisation. These international debates find their echoes here in South Yorkshire - in the activities of Access Space, recycling waste technology and promoting Open Source software, or in Grow Sheffield's efforts to build local food networks and seed city centre wasteland. Can talk of "the commons" help us find common ground between these kinds of projects? Does using the same words mean we've found a common language - or can it disguise different meanings and intentions If you'd like a hardcopy, COMMONSense is avilable from Access Space for £4.00 + £1.50 p&p Email: [email protected] ISBN: 9780955009143 This publication was made possible by the Arts Council of England, Yorkshire, through its support of the arts programme at Access Space.
