This is the base from which a group of ex-Brixton Artist Collective are attempting to readjust art history with an activation of the Brixton Art Gallery 1983 - 1986 archives and memory. The BAG did not support 'selection' so was anaethma to the Art World. It was self-action by mainly working class artists relying on the advantages bestowed by collaborative endeavors for its undeniable power.
Looking back on the first 50 shows they had a character of self-organisation and resistance to the dominant culture (as it was known at that time). We have agreements with various archives to take materials and the local community is being mined to find resonant currents in the present and the involvement of a younger generation.
A show in 198 of the result of our efforts will be made in the autumn.
Thanks must go to Andrew Hurman for his amazing online archive:
