Are local
businesses finding difficulty getting blue commercial waste sacks
from Lambeth’s Street Care Team?
If you are running a business have you been having difficulty, like
RCDT, in getting Lambeth Council’s Street Care Team to deliver blue
commercial waste sacks. After weeks of fruitless requests RCDT local
asked local Councillor Stephen Morgan to look into the matter. He
has been told that ‘it seems to be that there has been a problem with
the ticket for the blue sack delivery. Blue sack delivery
tickets are generated automatically by our system; unfortunately in
very rare cases, the system fails to produce a new ticket. I
have spoken to the person who is currently managing this area for
commercial waste and have asked her to produce a delivery request
ticket (manually) to instruct the contractors to deliver the
sacks. The delivery could take a couple of weeks however, I will
request the sacks to be delivered as soon as possible.’ So if you
are also having a problem why not contact your local Councillor: see
details on Links page on www.rcdt.org.

the Envelope’
the

records a discussion with
Peter St-John,
Anna Harding,
Tony Carter,
Jeffe Jeffers,
Sheena Wagstaff
and
Richard Grayson
which took place at the
Beaconsfield
symposium Push the Envelope sustaining arts communities on the
left-bank, July 2006. The debate addressed a range of issues
including: the impact economic ‘regeneration’ is likely to have on
existing art communities in North Lambeth and the lessons to be
learned from arts-led regeneration in other areas, such as London¹s
East End; the project to reconnect craft skills with art practice in
a hostile climate and the pros and cons of running small-scale
operations in the shadow of Tate. The event also launched a new
North Lambeth arts network: Leftbank Artists.

Helga Steppan. Be
long a part.
Helga Steppan uses
photography in combination with installation, moving-image
and elements of performance. In
Belongings Apart, Steppan has invited her friends to
lend her something they own which is transparent. The
objects will be presented as a large sculptural
installation, shown together with photographs of the
different locations where they previously belonged and a
written piece by each owner. The written texts describe the
meanings and associations which the objects hold for
their owner. Removed from their original environment and
juxtaposed with other objects in a new context they become
anonymous and subject to multiple different readings and
interpretations. Belongings Apart questions the
extent to which an object or possession can ever represent
its owner or hold a particular meaning and invites the
audience to discover its own associations in the work. A
publication called Belongings Apart which documents
the process, will accompany the exhibition and includes an
introductory essay by Åsa Ståhl.
