No, you cannot expect people to understand the higher reaches of philosophy. Culture should be taken out of the hands of the dollar chasers. We need a national subsidy for literature. It is disgraceful that artists are treated like peddlers and that art works have to be sold like soap.

was delighted to stumble across the tick tock cafe. We just wandered in one day looking for a quick lunch, and lucked out. Although its small, there is normally a table, especially out of term time. They sell nice enough snacks, and huge portions of chips, which delighted my son. Coffee was nice enough and the rest of the food was standard cafe fare - all reasonable value, especially the breakfasts which were sizeable. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere is good. A huge array of clocks adorns the walls for no apparent reason - perhaps they had nowhere else to store them. Anyway my son tries to lead us there as often as possible now. All in all an excellent place for a post hangover fry up.

Mapping Maesteg
Meet at Maesteg Railway station at 11.30am on Saturday June 28, 2009. A psychogeographical walk through all of the streets, parks and alleys of Maesteg. This dérive will follow an alogorythm: second left, first right, second right. When the town limits are approached, participants can venture into the rural environment in search of evidence of the town's proximity. Because Maesteg is a relatively small town running roughly north - south in the valley, this dérive aims to cover all streets, alleyways and pedestrianized areas including parks. Disposable cameras will be issued as they were with Searching for the Heart of Cardiff on May 10, 2009.

Clerkenbakewell

The artist constructs optimal viewing areas for the presentation of video works. For this project The artist presented ‘exhibition/work title' which seeks to deal with the idea through experimental conventions and reference poetry. The piece reveals embedded fantasy and sexuality and functions as a topical monologue, a story and narrative. Also presented is 'untitled: painting’ (date). The artist returns in spirit, after recent shows. New works show ideas which refer to an absence of the signifier. The artist is based in a city and was recently part of the ‘exhibition title’ exhibitions. (date). For ‘exhibition title’ the artist has created a video which examines the darker side of the vortex. The artist graduated this summer from the School of Art and is now finishing a diploma. The artist's work questions the transformation of reality in mass produced imagery. The artist brings her intentional fakery for the first time. The artist is one of a group of sculptors including Artist 1, Artist 2 and Artist 3 who have built a reputation for flamboyant artworks. Whilst the work often suggests a vision of the underbelly, it remains captivating and humorous. The artist uses material to create art objects. Central to the practice is the categorisation of the medium by its formal qualities rather than subject or content. 'Exhibition title' was the latest in a series of collaborative site-specific projects using a wide variety of materials by The artist currently based in two cities.

"Тик Так Бумм"

A new member? (Always Tiktoc)

Tik-Tok (sometimes spelled Tiktok) is a round-bodied mechanical man that runs on clockwork springs which periodically need to be wound, like a wind-up toy or mechanical clock. He has separate windings for thought, action, and speech. Tik-Tok is unable to wind any of them up himself. He becomes frozen or mute or, for one memorable moment in The Road to Oz, continues to speak but utters gibberish. When he speaks, only his teeth move. His knees and elbows are described as resembling those in a knight's suit of armor.

The Doomsbury Set Manifesto
===========================

Members of the group:

1) understand that they are alive

2) refuse to engage with stupid optimism and, in that, hope to combat pessimism

3) feel themselves to be enslaved but are not clear how

4) strive to find a new question

5) refuse to use the language of the market and careers

6) believe that art might be important

7) refuse to leave off the hook

PREFACE

CHORUS:

"It
sings of ages!, -
of nations!,-
of empires!.
It
becomes epic,
it
gives bir-th to Homer."

1984

It presents itself, therefore, to the public gaze, naked and friendless, like the infirm man of the Gospel—solus, pauper, nudus.

I know you would just get embarrassed.

A few words from George....

'Mark Twain's Joan, skirted to the ground, and with as many petticoats as Noah's wife in a toy ark, is an attempt to combine Bayard with Esther Summerson from Bleak House into an unimpeachable American school teacher in armour'

Preface, Saint Joan, George Bernard Shaw, 1924.

Joan with Broken Sword?

Found at the end of Hove Lawns, Joan has been swordless for some years now guarding the entrance to Albermarle Mansions. I had initially mistaken her for a waif with a swallow clutched to her chest - perhaps reminding me of Wilde's Unhappy Prince. Of course on closer inspection she does indeed appear to be the Joan, albeit sentimentalised with Victorian nipped in waist and armour.

Anyone know how she came to be here?

ONWARD!

Charles was beheaded on Tuesday 30 January 1649,^[31][32][33]though at the time the new year did not occur until March, so his death is often recorded as occurring in 1648.^[34] At the execution it is reputed that he wore two cotton shirts as to prevent the cold weather causing any noticeable shivers that the crowd could have mistaken for fear or weakness. He put his head on the block after saying a prayer and signalled the executioner when he was ready; he was then beheaded with one clean stroke. His last words were, "We shall go from a corruptible to an incorruptible Crown, where no disturbance can be."^[3]

Philip Henry records that moments after the execution, a moan was heard from the assembled crowd, some of whom then dipped their handkerchiefs in his blood, thus starting the cult of the Martyr King. However, no other eyewitness source, including Samuel Pepys, records this. Henry's account was written during the Restoration, some 12 years after the event though Henry was 19 when the King was executed and he and his family were Royalist propaganda writers.^[1]

The executioner was masked, and there is some debate over his identity. It is known that the Commissioners approached Richard Brandon, the common Hangman of London, but that he refused, and contemporary sources do not generally identify him as the King's headsman. Ellis's Historical Inquiries, however, names him as the executioner, contending that he stated so before dying. It is possible he relented and agreed to undertake the commission, but there are others who have been identified. An Irishman named Gunning is widely believed to have beheaded Charles, and a plaque naming him as the executioner is on show in the Kings Head pub in Galway, Ireland. William Hewlett was convicted of regicide after the Restoration.^[35] In 1661, two people identified as "Dayborne and Bickerstaffe" were arrested but then discharged. Henry Walker, a revolutionary journalist, or his brother William, were suspected but never charged. Various local legends around England name local worthies. An examination performed in 1813 at Windsor suggests that the execution was done by an experienced headsman.

It was common practice for the head of a traitor to be held up and exhibited to the crowd with the words "Behold the head of a traitor!" Although Charles's head was exhibited, the words were not used. In an unprecedented gesture, one of the revolutionary leaders, Oliver Cromwell, allowed the King's head to be sewn back onto his body so the family could pay its respects. Charles was buried in private on the night of 7 February 1649, inside the Henry VIII vault in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The royal retainers Sir Thomas Herbert, Capt. Anthony Mildmay, Sir Henry Firebrace, William Levett Esq. and Abraham Dowcett (sometimes spelled Dowsett) conveyed the King's body to Windsor.^[36][37] The King's son, King Charles II, later planned an elaborate royal mausoleum, but it was never built.Ten days after Charles's execution, a memoir purporting to be from Charles's hand appeared for sale. This book, the Eikon Basilike (Greek: the "Royal Portrait"), contained an apologia for royal policies, and it proved an effective piece of royalist propaganda. William Levett, Charles's groom of the bedchamber, who accompanied Charles on the day of his execution, swore that he had personally witnessed the King writing the Eikon Basilike.^[38] John Cooke published the speech he would have delivered if Charles had entered a plea, while Parliament commissioned John Milton to write a rejoinder, the Eikonoklastes ("The Iconoclast"), but the response made little headway against the pathos of the royalist book.^[39]Various prodigies were recorded in the contemporary popular press in relation to the execution - a beached whale at Dover died within an hour of the King; a falling star appeared that night over Whitehall; a man who had said that the King deserved to die had his eyes pecked out by crows.

Media has Brighton Biennial Blinkers

I had an interesting discussion with Jon Gilhooly today. He'd been wondering, and I'm inclined to too now, why the current Photo Biennial is receiving so little coverage in the national media considering its significance, breath, the quality and poignency of much of what is being presented. See Lisa Barnard's work in Lewis as just one example.

The Capa photo thing at The Barbican currently is receiving lots of attention. Folkestone Triennial seemed to capture the critics' attentions. Why is this being overlooked? My thought is that perhaps there is a need for Brighton (and surrounds) to be seen as fluffy, a zone for light entertainment, harmless, not the possible political hot-bed (that I sense it genuinely is) or location for artistic practice of a more problematic nature.

We should be careful through 'tiktoc' not to add strength to this tendency by art critics and others in high places. It is not a bad thing as Chris Manley pointed out in his article in our first edition to live in a town where creativity is encouraged. I'm glad that my offsping are having the chance to grow up in a place like this. So some polluted stinking river surrounded by 'dark satanic mill' and factory never cut its way through Brighton, which potentially upsets those who like to fetishise all that. Even then Shoreham Harbour ought to satisfy that hunger, and hey, there's plenty of poverty down here too or does that not match the desired image? Maybe the views and actions of Brightonians deserve to be taken as seriously as those from anywhere else.

Information regarding first edition

The Doomsbury Set's publication "tiktoc" has been printed as planned on the significant date we chose: 7th November.

The writing is something, a pleasure to read. I for one, and excuse the patronising tone, feel proud to be associated with all of the writers.

More precisely thanks to:

a) those we approached and who, as a result, considered contributing,
b) those we approached, who actually contributed,
c) the man who led on editing, is responsible completely for the typographic approach and collaborated with me on graphic design and layout No. 01 (Mr. Huw Bartlett),
d) (Soon to be sacked) No. 02 (Ms. Emilia Telese) for the invention of useful terms such as Non-endorsed and Un-endorsed art,
c) Maplins (for comfort in times of stress),
b) Mail Boxes (for incredibly fast, efficient, quality work),
a) Halifax PLC (for fooling us into thinking we matter).

Note: Where design appears poor (or the layout shite) be aware that, unlike the plethora of other examples around town (Brighton, UK), here it is done deliberately, but NOT in an ironic or witty way either. Partly we hope to provide material for budding students of graphics design, on what not to do. On the other hand by chance you will notice instances of quality, edited text, correct application of colour theory principles, composition schemes, the golden mean, paragraphs packed full of correctly spelt words and utilising the notion of grammar, employment of typography rules and so on...

Watch this space for developments.

We are still awaiting the outcome of a funding application. No: frank admission: We are still working on completing a funding application form. Donations welcome. Purchase a few at: http://www.lulu.com/content/4808807

Publishing of the next edition will take place on another key date probably 30th January. To propose a contribution e-mail doomsbury@mocksim.co.uk

We've applied for an ISSN.

Translated quick from German using some free on-line tool:

'Photo-RAM-blow: Photo portraits from a photo studio in Barcelona' is at the right time at the correct place. The photo portraits are on the market and geradazu on the market place also, because the gallery Crane Kalman is appropriate in a Kiez as similarly as `read for Ramblas' of Barcelona. heiЯt, a Kiez of tourists overcrowded and of an idea Street bessesen Life'. both kцnnten much tacky appear with buying, mode and `- if one through the pseudo glamour looks. And in such a way it goes with the topic of this Austellungs. The fame longing, the longing after Berьhmtheit and in such a way entrench themselves in perfidiously however verfuehrischer gloss. (Do not forget as send such kitsch is in the today's time particularly for the moment with the Chavs - hopefully it is not a short-lived fashion… however gegenwдrtig it gives an end in view. In any case we are zuwartend) But est another topic gives that is to be treated here: one could say over this gallery and also this Austellung - here it spukt! -, Tunes, is probably because of it that those photo portraits here are issued mostly the sixties, are all SchwarzweiЯaufnahmen and is naturally nostalgically and somewhat sadly their nature after. But the photos are troubled reasons from Geisten several. With Crane Kalman one finds a room to the rear, around eineges than the Hauptaustellungsraum is smaller, which one kцnnte describes like a spirit chamber. The area is closely, the Wдnde dark red painted to 19 and it looks like a Kuriositдtenkabinett or a miracle chamber. Century. Here the small Portrдtbilder aufhдngen and now really begins the Freak show. Thus, leave us with the Ballesteros Sisters, about to 1960 ' s begin - Bikini dressed Schlangerfrauen Kabarret duo, (or better said ‚Bikini dressed Schlangermaedels - you can be no more than six or seven years old.) One does not have to say it here gives anything honestly erotic over this picture - both Mдdels their Wьrde protect due to its notionless Berufsausьbung - however into 'political korrekt' the political GroЯwetterlage today one hopes it gives no tension adjusters or Kдufer with diseased to fantasien and one surprises whether the lacquer already off is! Now, as more nдchster on the list: different photos of shop window dolls - fund mansion of mannequin, about 1960 ' s - here are mostly completely typical photos - of the kind those, which describes most Leuter wьrden as spooky. Someone that has a genuine diseased fear of shop window dolls - tja - these pictures should be best avoided - except for probably an exception. This exceptional case shows a shop window doll entirely different from the others - a mдnnliche person from wood is majority, trдgt a whistle on the left hand and sits with ьbergeschlagenen legs in a Lehnstuhl resembles a Mцbelstьck directly from the GDR time. This photo surely kцnnte a record covering of the volume power station its. To make far - there are pictures of 'glamor Girls' Vedetta Series, about 1960 ' s - again Bikini dressed ladies however this times significantly much more Burlesque. Many of these woman photos have a particularly dark Qualitдt - a certain 'Italian Dunkelheit', as one say kцnnte. It is with difficulty recordable, but there is nevertheless a dьstere and erdrьckende Atmosphдre circles these women. Opposite two hairdresser salon advertisement photo - Hair salon publicity (soon) and Hair salon publicity, (again) circe 1960 ' S. those are the typical before afterwards pictures of a man with and without its Toupet - are those are quaint, schrullig and are unexpected without pathos. The wedding picture Bride and Groom is probable (nevertheless once more - about 1960 ' s) usually the deeply moving and most. The 'Pдrchen' seem young and innocenceful out, stand side by side soul-calmly and natively however nearly berьhrungslos. This einfьhlsames pair fame do not aim at - it looks only in such a way, as if they long-look for a prospectful however quiet future together. And isn't that somewhat actually wuenderschoen? 'Ah, bless! '- there your unmarried aunt, your granny and her old friend Mr. Kundera say wьrden - 'is not in the true sense of the word the indeed admirable? - Wait however times! - which that is called really? - Someone laughs in the rьckseitigen row - isn't that kitsch in pure culture?
