Anti Design Brody & Manifestos

• BBC – BBC Radio 4 Programmes – Start the Week, 31/01/2011
  “When was the last time you encountered any culture that you can say was really dangerous, that actually challenged anything?” Andrew Marr talks fonts with the graphic designer Neville Brody, whose Anti-Design manifesto criticised the fear and lack of risk inherent in the art world, and challenged fellow artists to come up with something truly dangerous. Objects, overlooked and rejected, lie at the heart of much of Susan Hiller’s work, which has been described as “investigations into the ‘unconscious’ of our culture.” Hiller has been inspired by Minimalism, Fluxus and Surrealism, and Alex Danchev celebrates the best and worst in artists’ manifestos. And the Nigerian writer EC Osondu, who works and lives in the US, explores the frayed bonds between his adopted country and his homeland.
