Remixed Reading - art exhibition
We ran a weekend-long exhibition showing work from our art competition. The works remixed selected existing works from the Remix Commons web site, as well as visually remixing Reading itself. Photos of the exhibition are available, as is the exhibition catalogue.Image credit: creating something by amygrace1.

Fading Ways / Remix Reading gig
A remix feast, featuring three artists from the Canadian indie label Fading Ways and three remixes of their work by local Reading musicians. Clare Hooper spun off against Neil Leyton, Rich Thomas mashed up before Jim Clements, and Betty & The Werewolves gave Paul James Berry a raucous introduction. Fading Ways are big Creative Commons supporters, and stopped off in Reading during their UK 'three blind mice' tour.

Remix Reading launch event
The most crazy remix arts spectacular Reading had ever seen heralded the launch of the project! Six booked acts in a main auditorium, an art exhibition in the corridors and a special room, and a kooky creative zone set the scene. Sets from Peter Bennett, Summerteeth, Desdemona, Meme, Roland Chadwick, Rhythm Works and Yimino, drum workshops, a recorded open mic, poetry recitals and doodles left lying around the venue.
