I've just rediscovered Guy Debord, I bought a book about him in the ICA the other week. He's the head honcho of The Situationists. The Situationists started the May 1968 Paris Student protests and came up with the poster - 'A Youth Too Often Disturbed By The Future'

Guy Debord says this: 'The revolutionary transformation of everyday life isn't reserved to a vague future. It is immediately placed before us by the development of capitalism and its insupportable demands, the alternative being the reinforcement of modern slavery. This transformation will mark the end of all unilateral artistic expression stocked under the form of commodities, at the same time as the end of all specialized politics.'

The May 1968 protests sparked a protest in Hornsey College of Art, there was a reunion and a series of films about the Hornsey College of Art protests a few weeks ago. They tried to promote it in the Fine Art studios but apparently the guy that put the posters up was asked to take them down by some kind of authority, not good Middlesex Uni.

The Reason I mention Guy Debord is because more than anyone he makes me passionate about campaigning. My work over the next few weeks is going to reflect this.  ¶ 10:52 AM
