Item description from seller

Arts Labs Newsletter #7, Arts Lab, London, April 1970. Foolscap, mimeographed and sidestapled. 52pp. Produced by Nicholas Albery of BIT Information Service as a way for various arts labs throughout the UK to communicate. On the front cover, the newsletter calls for ‘a figure in the region of £300,000’ to fund experimental activities and for an Arts Council with a strong central panel that would be representative and supportive of the various regions of the UK. ‘Are we going to be allowed to run our own affairs… or sold down the river by compromisers,’ asks Arts Lab. This issue prints Allen Ginsberg’s address, ‘Consciousness & Practical Action’, at the Dialectics of Liberation Congress held in London in 1967; ‘The Rebirth of Joy: The Arts Laboratory’; ‘Transmedia Explorations’; extracts from Andrew Rigby’s interview with Robin Farquharson from Rigby’s Communes Research Project; ‘The Alternate Ways’, an article on communes and tribes; news from the Eel Pie Community and other communes; ‘Arts Labs & Related Phenomena’ (including a contribution from Monica Sjöö from Bristol’s action group for women’s lib, an early exponent of the Goddess movement), upcoming gigs for Dr. Strangely Strange, The Spontaneous Music Ensemble and The Egg at the Crypt in Notting Hill; and more. Condition: light toning to pages and covers, otherwise very good +. …
