Art Rebels

Clarendon College - Art Rebels
[Dream target date - 1981]

Although Clarendon College was accustomed to the excesses of the art department, a far more aggressive trend emerged in 1981 with the arrival of teenage art rebels; Rob Dixon, Stuart Wood and Paul Wheat.

Their subversive acts were typified by their self-penned fanzine entitled 'Egotistic Crap' - A deliberate reaction against student socialists, union hacks and 'right-on' lecturers. This vitriolic publication caused a real outcry and proved a major headache for a department already under pressure from the authorities to fall into line with other more vocational (conservative) courses.

Warning! - Egotistic Crap contains material that some people may find offensive.

POSTSCRIPT: Paul Wheat was fortunate enough to survive the 'Egotistic Crap' witch-hunt and went on to produce even worse material at Mansfield College of Art. He left college and moved down south to Cornwall where he learned to surf and was eventually deported to Australia where he now lives.
