Art school Britain in the 1960s and 1970s - a hotbed of
experimental DIY creativity blurring the lines between art and
music. In Blank Canvas, multi-genre musician turned university
lecturer Simon Strange paints a picture of the diverse range of
people who broke down the barriers between art, life and the
creative self. Tracing lines from the Bauhaus 'blank slate' through
the white heat of the Velvet Underground and the cutting edge of
the Slits, Blank Canvas draws on interviews with giants of the
genre across music, gender and race spectrums, from Brian Eno to
Pauline Black, Cabaret Voltaire to Gaye Advert. Illustrated is a
picture of two decades erupting in a devastatingly diverse flow of
outspoken originality as an eclectic range of musical styles and
cultures fused. Does modern day music education suffocate the soul
and inhibit the impact of the bohemian artist? This book asks
questions of today's artists, musicians, and educators, looking for
the essence of creativity and suggests how lessons learnt in and
around art school education show a path for the cultural evolution
of both musicians and artists hoping to create the future. Audience
will include university students at all levels in popular music,
popular culture and creative arts education. Academics, educators
and researchers working in popular culture and creativity. May also
appeal to a more general reader interested in popular culture and
creativity. With a Blank Canvas, anything is possible...
