Musician, author, agitator, Neoist,
plagiarist and art- terrorist - Stewart Home is probably all of that.
Or just name him a punk. That is if you define punk as cultural anarchy.
By the age of 14 he played in a punk band and published a fanzine.
After turning his back on punk, he got involved with the Neoists for
a year. He gained notoriety for being the creator of The Art Strike
1990-93, where he denounced the commodification of art.
Home emerged from a high culture oppositional tradition. He wrote
about the art avant-garde and developed a fast fiction style mixing
ferocious over-the-top story lines of sex and violence with esoteric
explorations on culture and politics. Cranked Up Really High,
published in 1995, is an "inside account on punk rock".
It is also a critique of academic discussions and an academic approach
on the subject. At the Punk! Kongress he will talk about punk as a
subversive art. more... |
