Pet Sounds - Private View / Club Night
Wednesday 10 December 2008, 8pm
The Illustrated London Noise DJs have been crawling through the
kennel, clearing out the birdcage, dredging the fishtank and poking
around the cat basket, all in the search for unlikely tunes about,
inspired by or dedicated to pets. Furry, feathered and scaly, all
will be represented by super sounds from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
We'll also premiere the visuals from Dogs' Ears - the world's first
canine webchat site. Meet the dogs (online) in the digital studio
until 10pm. No barking please, gentle growls are okay though.

Patronise Me! What is the Value of Art?
Saturday 13 December 2008, 4pm
On the day the markets crashed, Damien Hirst made £111 million at
auction, prompting speculation that art could be the investment that
survives the global crisis. But does ownership or patronage of the
arts have to be for the elite rather than the masses? Do we need
objects for a buyer to perceive worth? Are the current models of
financing artists via public or private commission stifling
creativity? And can online systems of micro-financing provide a new
economic model of patronship that empowers audiences as well as artists?
Speakers include: Sarah Thornton, author of Seven Days in the Art
World; artist Jasper Joffe, founder of The Free Art Fair; Andrew
Burke, director of the Bettany Centre for Entrepreneurial
Performance; and Julie Lomax, Head of Visual Arts, Arts Council
England. Chair: Julie Freeman (creator, Dogs’ Ears).
