Happy Birthday - Get Up..


Happy Birthday Rabbie - poet, activist, anti-authoritarian and artist

I wonder what forms your art would take in the Dumfries of today?

Political opinion - certainly
Experimenting with media and public spaces?

Today we (at The Stove) have been discussing the idea that Burns might well have experimented with Street Art and Social Media - the equivalents of pamphleteering and writing on windaes in the 18th Century?
A thought obviously not shared by many of the good burghers of Dumfries who are tonight tucking into their haggis and celebrating the radical and rebellious Bard...the same burghers who are harumphing outrage at the artwork that has appeared around the town this week as part of the festival in honour of Burns' birthday - The Big Burns Supper

Chalk Street Art in Dumfries Jan 2012
for more info on this outrage and the very different reactions from different sections of the community - see www.thestove.org
