The real stuff of oral
history. No-one will write it as accurately for you posthumously |
| |
| I came upon the book Hornsey
1968 published in 2008 and felt I should read The Hornsey
Affair which was published in 1969. It is available at The
British Library. The first reading left me with 51 questions
and the second merely expanded my Notes into an extended
Commentary. In the process of reading I tried to put the
names into a diagram below with a number of communication
arrows and colours to help me process the information and reach
my conclusions. |

| On 4 October 2008 there was a Reunion
of past students of Hornsey
College of Art and I was able to meet many people each
with their own oral histories to tell. I managed
to collect a number of email addresses and would invite anyone
interested to read my experiences and contribute their own.
You are welcome to email me if there is anything that might be
chatted about: email
me. This could include format details for me to upload to the
web. I would be happy to chat further with anyone who attended
the Reunion and I would like to make contact with graduates of
Bowes Road 1968 particularly but anyone who took part in the
Sit-In. If you know of anyone who went to Paris or someone who
came from Paris to Hornsey that would also be interesting. Please
pass this web page on to anyone you know who might be able to
expand the breadth and depth of opinions and experiences. |

Some years ago I saw Andy Warhol's self-portrait at
Tate Britain. I had always admired his work and decided to paint
this acrylic portrait (remember he didn't personally paint his
portrait) as well as one of my daughter in similar style. Now
having read all the books I have adapted Warhol's 'Fifteen minutes
of Fame' to 15 seconds of Flame, as shown above. |
