Art school Britain in the 60s and 70s: a hotbed of experimental DIY 
creativity blurring the lines between art and music. In /Blank Canvas/, 
multi-genre musician turned university lecturer Simon
Strange paints a picture of the diverse range of people who broke down 
the barriers between art, life and the creative self.

Tracing lines from the Bauhaus ‘blank slate’ through the white heat of 
the Velvet Underground and the cutting edge of the Slits, /Blank 
Canvas/ draws on interviews with giants of the genre
across music, gender and race spectrums: from Brian Eno to Pauline 
Black, Cabaret Voltaire to Gaye Advert. Illustrated is a picture of two 
decades erupting in a devastatingly diverse flow of outspoken 
originality as an eclectic range of musical styles and cultures fused. 
This book asks questions of today’s artists, musicians and educators, 
looking for the essence of creativity and suggesting how lessons learnt 
in and around art school education show a path for the cultural 
evolution of both musicians and artists hoping to create the future. 
With a /Blank Canvas/, anything is possible…
