Scope and Contents
This piece is based upon the slash-dash-bracket alphabet by Robin Farquharson (South African) as modified by Dom Sylvester Houedard. Guy Legge at the 1970 Isle if Wright Festival gave the following account of Robin Farquharson. He was on a reception ward at Horton Hospital, Epsom in the early seventies. I was classed as a schizophrenic and he was a manic-depressive two famous labels of oppression. He was twenty years older than me but had fallen foul of the psychiatric authorities at about the same time in the mid sixties. I was only fifteen when I was first fobbed off as a schizophrenic. I was intelligent enough to fight being drugged but at this time, the very early seventies, I had been sectioned for 28 days for refusing treatment. My earliest memory of Robin was of him showing a group of us his book, Drop Out. I was impressed that it had the cover illustrated by Alan Aldridge who had produced amongst other things the Beatles Illustrated Lyrics. I didn't actually get around to...

As an artist Siegfried Cremer created an as extensive as multifaceted oeuvre that steadily grew in more than 50 years. It ranges from mobile and kinetic objects around 1960 (Kinetic art) and reduced settlement in the 1970s through gestural Random painting and paintings and sculptures from found objects to paper collage, predominantly Art Print, which he mainly devoted himself since the mid-80s.

Antiuniversity of London / Houedard, Dom Sylvester; Farquharson R., 1972
Item
Identifier: CC-48312-69337
Scope and Contents
This piece is based upon the slash-dash-bracket alphabet by Robin Farquharson as modified by Dom Sylvester Houedard. As recounted by Frater Choronzon at a meeting of the Chaos Society in 1990, the late Dr Robin Farquharson was one of the most gifted individuals it has ever been my privilege to know. His doctorate for original work on the Theory of Voting ('psephology' as it's called in the trade) was awarded by the University of Oxford in 1958, and he won the Monograph Prize of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for related work in 1961. At the time when I met him in 1968 he had recently been stripped of his post as a Senior Research Fellow ('Don') in Management Studies at Churchill College, Cambridge. I first encountered him at a meeting of the 'Anti-University'. This was a loose knit structure which operated from a series of short-term addresses. Its primary function was to promote serious academic work into subject areas which were considered to be neglected by...
