tagged with birmingham cupel and squirm april 29 2011 leave a comment since birmingham adopted its new coat of arms in 1976 the man habited as a smith on the sinister side has been shown holding a cupel in the dexter hand resting on the shield in the sinister hand he holds a hammer resting on an anvil the figure of the smith is representative of industry and the cupel of the city s jewellery trades birmingham s jewellery quarter was a consequence of the opening up of the colmore estate in the mid 18th century and the bunter sandstone on which the district sits being suitable for fine metal working the keuper sandstone found elsewhere in the city is more supportive of birmingham s other heavier metal working industries that the cupel has become associated with the hammer resting on an anvil is an error of association a better association would have been made if the cupel had been held by the female figure representing art on the coat of arms perhaps in the dexter hand instead of the painter s palette or with two brushes proper as birmingham has never been a painter s city birmingham s jewellery trades have a stronger connection with art than they do with the heavier iron industries located elsewhere in the city and this has certainly been the case since the birmingham jewellery and silversmiths association established what is now the school of jewellery on vittoria street in 1890 the art of the jewellery quarter resonates still with the radical views of the school of jewellery s first headmaster robert catterson smith equally it is still dismissive of what catterson smith s successor arthur gaskin described as the squirm of fashion and conceit the unknown author of the poem industry genius or the origin of birmingham a fable first published in aris gazette 21 01 1751 understood what differentiates the hard rough hand of industry from the nice hand of genius as the poem says genius later the lady of the arts on the city s coat of arms is near at hand in bower of jessamy and roses mixt with rare and curious art and this connects well with catterson smith s teaching drawing from natural forms rather than the plaster casts more commonly used in 19th century british art schools and as the poem continues birmingham s jewellery trades are evident in all in clear conception of her mind the fairest form of things depainted were and the least shade of difference she would find twixt every object brought into compare grace still distinguish d her productions rare from those of common artists her nice hand obedient was to execute with care and elegance her fancy s least command geniae yclep d she was admir d by all the land of course the happy union of art genius ingenuity and matchless grace with industry perseverance that once underpinned birmingham s greatness has now been squandered in the drive for enterprise and the squirm even so the cupel should be in the hand of art filed under in between tagged with art birmingham

filed under in between tagged with filière production filière produsage april 10 2011 leave a comment it is important to fundamentally question the models of cooperation and content production which we have inherited from the industrial age indeed as audiences have become users and industrially produced products have become collaboratively authored content we need to question the very language of production itself in collaborative content creation environments it is becoming difficult if not impossible to tell mere users from producers a sliding scale of user engagement rather than traditional distinctions between producers distributors and consumers now applies we are entering an environment where users are always already also producers of content or indeed have become hybrid produsers unfinished artefacts continuing process the process of produsage must necessarily remain continually unfinished and infinitely continuing produsage does not work towards the completion of products for distribution to end users of consumers instead it is engaged in an iterative evolutionary process aimed at the gradual improvement of the community s shared content the content found in a produsage community always represents only a temporary artefact of the ongoing process a snapshot in time which is likely to be different again the next minute the next hour or the next day jeremy hunsinger et
