Over the last few days there has been talks and screenings by Peace activists including founder of the Peace Plinths Maria Gallastegui, Simon Moore - the man behind Kew Eco Village and Democracy Village, (see clip here), Dean Puckett maker of 'Crisis of Civialisation, and most recently 'Grasp the nettle' Rikki Blue, maker of 'SOCPA The Movie', and founder of The Halabja Community Playground Project, Tam Carrigan
 
This evening from 7pm   Emily Johns will show images and talk about working as an artist and as an activist.  kennardphillipps will talk about their work.  Entry is free.  
Emily Johns is a printmaker who studied geography at Durham and immediately afterwards studied fine art at Goldsmiths because pictures seemed to be the right medium in which to think about geography. Her work has its political roots in over 20 years of work on wars in Iraq, the Iran crisis and how geopolitics and oil have coagulated. She also co-edits Peace News. See one of Emily’s projects here:http://consciousoil.org
kennardphillipps is an artist collaboration forged between Peter Kennard and Cat Phillipps during the build-up to the US/UK invasion of Iraq in 2002. Kennard and Phillipps work together to create pieces that confront political and corporate power in solidarity with the social movements that form in resistance against state and commercial oppression.

Breathe Life into our Facebook group and win a poster on the London Underground to show your work.
It may have come to your attention recently that Facebook are either upgrading the old facebook groups into the new design, or they will be 'archived'.

Well this has come as 'a big smack in the face' for Art Below who have had a facebook group since 2006 and have gradually built a healthy and active following of a few thousand.  Now, thanks to Facebook 'archiving' our group we have a group of exactly 10 members!! So First of all I want to say a genuine 'thank you' to those 10 dedicated members for hanging on in there.

So in an attempt to claw our way back and to co-inside with Social Media Week, we have decided to launch a new initiative to breathe life and love into this once powerful mother ship of social media!  For every 1000 new members, Art Below will award 1 free poster space (1m x 1.5m) on the London Underground.  To grab a chance of winning that poster space,  simply become a member of the Art Below facebook group and upload a piece of your own artwork onto the Wall.  We are open to all creative backgrounds including design, fashion, illustration, sculpture, photography and any other ones that I've missed out.  

For every 1000 new group members we will set a loose theme, starting with the theme of THE DIGITAL AGE.  We will take into account how many 'likes' each image gets, but it wont be the central deciding factor that will persuade our judges  if you are the winner.  As well as being awarded a 1 meter x 1.5 meter poster space in a  London Underground station for 2 weeks to show your work, you will also receive a A2 lambda print of your winning design, you will  be announced as the winner on www.artbelow.org.uk, on our media partners sites including ArtLyst.com, and ArtRabbit.com and of course on the Art Below facebook group site!
