Topic: Caroline Coon


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  CarolineCoon.com
Caroline Coon, the London born artist, has worked in the vanguard of cultural movements that have caused storms of social change: the hippie 'peace and love' underground, second-wave feminism and punk rock.
By the time Coon left art school in 1968 figurative painting was deemed 'dead', but she avoided fashion and 'cool' and continued to work figuratively in oils on canvas with a brush.
Caroline Coon's design work can be seen in the 'look', make-up and style of the musicians in the cult movie "Ladies and Gentleman, the Fabulous Stains" (Paramount 1982) on which she worked as production consultant.

 No Future? Punk 2001 - Events - Caroline Coon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Since the 70’s, Punk as a movement has become slowly aestheticised and recognised as a major part of the music landscape of the late 20th century and in No Future?, Caroline Coon’s images are a sharp visual reminder of a generation of musicians and artists at the time much maligned and despised.
Caroline Coon’s July 28 1976 article on Punk Rock was the first.
Caroline Coon, artist and political activist, was at Central St Martins School of Art and Design in the 1960's when she founded the anti-prohibition drug information and civil rights organisation Release.

 The Clash See America Second
Coon had made clear that the concert was doomed to start late---the P.A. finally got in at 6:30---and the sound check was just ending as I arrived.
New manager Caroline Coon has been close to the band personally as Paul Simonon’s (somewhat) regular companion, but her credentials are far more substantial than that: She was both head of a hippie-era legal services program for drug arrestees and one of the first rock journalists to lay out the standard class analysis of punk.
Not that Coon was running down this kind of bottom-line reductionism to me. Her beefs were more in the area of day-to-day cash flow, and they were completely credible.

 Rock's Backpages - Caroline Coon
Caroline Coon, artist and political activist, was at Central St. Martin's School of Art and Design in the '60s when she founded the anti-prohibition drug information and civil rights organisation Release.
When Coon went to the Sex Pistols' second gig in 1976, she found the answer to this question: With the '60s psychedelic revolution dead and buried and hippies derided as "boring old farts", what will youth do now?
Determined anyway to write the story of the emerging "hate and war" counterculture, and thrilled by the music, Coon's seminal punk piece in MM on July 28, 1976, was the first to tackle the subject of the new "punk rock".

In an early interview with Caroline Coon in 1976, Joe Strummer explained the importance of punk rock.
Caroline Coon, quoted in Heylin, says: "While New York cultivates avant-garde and intellectual punks like Patti Smith and Television, the British teenager, needing and being that much more alienated from rock than America ever was, has little time for such aesthetic requirements.
She remarks: "I felt that what we had done as a joke in New York had been taken for real in England by a younger and more violent audience....

At a time when laws on cannabis possession - whilst still being absurd - are being semi-officially retired from service, it's worth remembering how panicked the establishment was back in the 1960s when young white folk started on the slippery path away from alcohol abuse.
Release was the organization set up by Caroline Coon and Rufus Harris to provide advice and assistance to those arrested on drug charges, and The Release Report is effectively its first annual statement.
And it's a fascinating snapshot of London at the time, or rather a series of repeating snapshots in which people with a vaguely counter-cultural lifestyle come into conflict with the authority of the state at its lowest and most petty level: the magistrates' court.

Arri [sic] Up and the Slits are highly defined examples of an ideal type that is becoming more attractive to women all the time.
What they represent is a revolutionary and basic shift of female ego from one which is biologically defined to one which is made strong by an assertive, mainstream role in society (Coon, 105).
