Tony Hart welcomes you to 'The GLC
Gallery - Part V'
"Welcome once again, art lovers! I'm Tony Hart and I bid you welcome to the next thrilling installment of the GLC Gallery! Thanks as always goes out to you digital badboys pointing, clicking, sampling and sending. Respect due to you, Newport Crew plus Two. It's always exciting to see my mailbox bulging, I feel as though I've got a thousand things inside me waiting to explode on a blank canvas. Right, let's see what we've got.... "
"Controversial art terrorist Ali Rok sent this beauty in. Apparently he was rooting around some of the charity shops near the back entrance to the Kingsway Centre and came across a dog-eared copy of this old classic. I read 'A Message for the Port' as a young man and can quite honestly say that it's influenced my creative vibes ever since. Not everyone can construct a blunt the size and shape of the Civic Centre, but armed with the knowledge contained in this piece of literature, I have and lived to tell the tale"
"Rabid, foul-mouthed drum'n'bass MC Tony Blair here commenting on what slowly drew him into the harsh reality of the 'World of Speed' - Mr. J Rees brings us this parliamentary exclusive. Shortly after this picture was taken, MC Blair nostrils a-fuming, took control of a Chieftan tank on parade and demanded that the crew 'ram a few offies' and a porn shop 'to stock up on sexy'. Allegedly, the so-called 'Premier' also decided to let off a few rounds on some of the local listed buildings. Envelopes have been exchanged and a new multi-storey car park will soon be erected. The success story continues..."
"Evidently, this month's mushroom season has seen it's own brand of artwork. One shining example would be this piece from LSD guru, DJ Dog-Sled. Under the influence, it has been documented that all perceptions of three dimensions, time and space go well out the window. This artist was last seen propping a gauze up against the Newport Wave and attempting to set one of the struts on fire. A case of life imitating art, you could say"
"I've long suspected that the Transporter Bridge had another lesser-known function and this is what newcomer MC Bedshit has decided to illustrate for us today. The inscription upon the piece works two-fold: Besides illuminating us on an historical note, it also works to give us an insight into how communicating 'blaad' style can both inform and confuse. To this artist I say, 'More! Encore! Educate and defecate, MC Bedshit!'. It is the only way forward"
"A long-debated discussion that runs on the underground grapevine is how GLC Supporters might recognise each other. To holler, 'YOU KNOWS IT!' to someone you hardly know is not always practical and requesting skins from any Tom, Dick or Harry in this day and age is just asking for trouble. This is where artist Pushedtempo provides us with the answer. Now all GLC Supporters can be 'safe' in the knowledge that they are 'safe', thanks to the sterling efforts of this young man. I hear that Tracey Emin and Su Pollard want to go for a threesome with you, clart. Safe as fuck"
