Because anything creative needs funding. If Brighton was so right on there would be more funding for all types of projects not just ones that are highly visible.

So this HAS been funded but there was NO funds when you went looking?

Not fo FILM making PROJECTS. As per THE point I was MAKING earlier.

I'm all for giving little n'er do wells somewhere to scribble but why do we now have to be forced to endure its' cluttered appearence and confused assembly?

I'm afraid it is another case of Brighton pretending to be down with the kids and trying to be the coolest place in England. Neither of which it is.

What next-skateparks?

1) That's a little patronising, no? Are you suggesting that there should be no public art? Or only public art that you like?

2)Please explain further.

3)Isn't there already a skate park at the level? What's wrong with having a skate park?

Right. So are does it angry you that this has been funded but you have been refused funding? Just trying to work out why you defended yourself so vehemently against the accusation of BITTERNESS.

Because what D'Angelo SAID had nothing to DO with the POINT I was making. It appeared like A cheap shot rather THAN engaging with the point I WAS making.

It does annoy me that there is no funding for people in my creative field but if there is for other areas then I am happy. Infact I actively encourage as much funding for creative projects as possible and the more diverse the better.

Sorry if that doesn't help D'Angelos lazy argument.

 

[CHAPPERS]

OKAY!

The skate park line was not deadly serious. I think there should be public art, just not in the hands of graffers. I think there have been some superb public displays outside the library in the past year or so.

Why, exactly? Because you don't like the look of it?

 

[Nibble]

Why, exactly? Because you don't like the look of it?

Yes that is exactly why. If I liked it I wouldn't be arguing against it, would I? I am not so stupid that I don't realise some people do like it and they are entitled to their opinion as much as me.

I happen to think that it is cluttered, garish and an eyesore and I think there are far better things the council could be doing with their time and money.

I am first in line to say it is shit but also first in line to defend someones' right to enjoy it.

What more can I say? I just don't like it.

 

[Les Biehn]

What is it you like about them Chappers? Is it just the aesthetics or/and something else?

Fair enough.

It just seems like a slight contradiction is all.

And there's a new pic that went up on Monday

Aestetics, it's personal opinion isn't it. I also appreciate the fact that a certain 'scene' that has been forwned upon for years is finally be recognised as one that holds a lot of talent and provides outlets for that talent. Take the Brighton Hip Hop festival for example. For many that would still be seen as a waste of time and just a load of kids rapping on a stage in the summer but it's a lot more that that. The Council are finally recognising this and I think that can only be a good thing.

In what way is it more than that?

How is it a contradiction?

 

[CHAPPERS]

How is it a contradiction?

You will defend people's right to enjoy but you don't think it should be there becauase you don't like it and think something else should be there instead. Basically.

 

[CHAPPERS]

In what way is it more than that?

In the way that a LOT of people give up a lot of their time for free to run a load of workshops on al aspects on the hip hop 'scene' for kids who otherwise would have no outlet for their creativity.

This site (http://www.bhhf.org/) should be back up soon and explains a lot more.
