- The debate 'Art fairs are about money not art' took place at the Saatchi Gallery 2010.
Speakers: Matthew Slotover, Simon de Pury, Sir Norman Rosenthal, Jasper Joffe, Matthew Collings, Louisa Buck
Art fairs, scoff the critics, have become shopping malls for the super-rich. They are giant marketplaces for the wealthy to buy, invest and speculate on the commodity of art. Galleries pressure artists to churn out 'safe', sellable works, which are not so much looked at as bought in bulk. As the critic Jerry Saltz put it, 'art fairs are perfect storms of money, marketability, and instant gratification'. Is this criticism justified? Or are art fairs in fact the perfect format for visitors to see art from all over the world which they wouldn't otherwise see? And by allowing artists to show their work to potential buyers en masse are these shows a crucial lifeline for artists today?

- XOVA (Pronounced Cross Over) are the latest STREET REGGAE BAND to come out of the UK this year with their unique ability to produce stunning tracks that are not only hard hitting Reggae but truly cross over to capture the RNB market as well.
Coming out of Birmingham UK the home of such legends as Steel Pulse, UB40, Apache Indian, Pato Banton, Musical Youth and Bitty Mclean they follow in a long and fine tradition in Reggae music taken from the streets of this multi-cultural city.
The differences being that XOVA now fuse in their flavours from the streets of living in an urban city such as Birmingham in this new millenium.
The MDA is proud to publish the first in a series of campaign papers penned by its membership, with the first being an inspired discussion regarding music development in the UK.
Our aim is to raise the visibility and sector awareness of important issues affecting music business growth and sustainability. There are also campaign papers in the pipeline covering areas such as:- International events / conventions – collective logistics and economies of scale?- Bulk Visa arrangements and finance for conventions / trade ventures.?- Local / Independent Radio Support

- Blog (called Complete Control) dedicated to punk rock music (and related genres like power pop, Oi! streetpunk, garage, mod revival, rock’n’roll, psycho, hardcore, surf, etc…) focused just on reviews and news. This is because two reasons:
1- I make a fanzine with interviews, articles, reports and the usual stuff but it’s about 200 pages so i publish one issue each year and a half.
2- In Spain there’s a lack of printed zines, webzines, mailorders, etc… and the level of english and other languages is very poor here (i’m an example! haha) so most people interested in good music don’t know about new releases of foreign labels, etc…
So we wanna make a blog with news about releases, fests, etc… and reviews of music (cd’s, lp’s, ep’s, etc…), literature (books, zines, etc…) and dvd’s. The music reviews will be in-depth reviews with some biographical info, links of the bands and labels, etc… and of course they will be totally independent.
