“A coffee fuelled trip across the Weymouth sand and water... dragging ourselves away from the ‘Lympic screens like Jurassic crustaceans evolving toward an alternative view of this constructed arena...”

As I write this it is 2:52pm on Monday 30th July. It is day three of the Olympics, and we are 43 hours 52 minutes into producing a newspaper in just 48 hours; a newspaper that, hopefully, you are now holding in your hands. It has been a slightly bonkers coffee-fuelled experiment so far, but in between technological-breakdowns, cycle-powered partying, lack of sleep and a huge Weymouth-and-Portland-sized serving of art, performances and Olympic sailing... we are finally nearing completion.

This newspaper has been put together this weekend by a number of volunteer designers, young people from Bristol, Bath and Weymouth and internationally renowned sports journalist and Olympic ‘commentator’ David Goldblatt, as part of b-side Multimedia Arts Festival 2012. Our crew have been out taking photos, interviewing people on the street, blogging, tweeting and writing features

all for The 48 - a newspaper created in 48 hours - making it THE alternative Olympic souvenir that everyone wants!

Unless you’ve been hiding under a Portland rock, you will know that Weymouth and Portland are hosting the sailing events this summer - but there is so much more going on in the area beyond the Olympics and Paralympics. Those of you curious enough to venture beyond the big screens on the beach might already have stumbled across some truly weird and wonderful things hidden away in some unexpected places...

Perhaps you witnessed a brass band bursting into life every time Weymouth bridge lifted, or hand-cranked a sound sculpture by Nothe Fort. Maybe you caught a contemporary film screening or discovered some cutting-edge art in bus-stops, coffee shops, traffic information boards, shop windows or train stations. You might even have found yourself in a 360º cinematic dome being enchanted and hypnotized by “a cheese induced dream, yet with neither cheese nor sleep”. And those are just some of the things that happened yesterday - we still have weeks of b-side events left to go.

We have purposefully written, produced and printed this entire newspaper during the first few days of b-side, to try and capture this incredible festival live and as it happens. All the photographs on The 48‘s front cover have been taken by volunteers, the b-side team or members of the public during the last few days. Whether you are here to see the sailing or just to soak up the atmosphere, we hope this newspaper inspires you to explore beyond the sailing and discover something weird and wonderful of your own.

So pick up one of the free b-side brochures in a cafe or venue around Weymouth or Portland or visit www.b-side.org.uk - but whatever you do - come and have a look! Let us know what you think by tweeting us on @bsidefest or use the hashtag #the48.

Lastly, many thanks to our volunteers, and of course the artists and team at b-side HQ. Also big thanks to Salt Bar & Kitchen for letting us use their wi-fi. Have a great b-side festival!

We recently met with b-side festival artist and gentleman Monsieur Poo-Pourri to chat about moustaches, styling tips, and contemplating life with the pointing of a cane...

Are you looking forward to being back in Weymouth this summer?

Well my attempts at taking a dip last year were an unmitigated disaster due to the fact that the water was too cold for my delicate temperament. When I was younger, despite the valiant efforts of my nanny and a whole host of perfumes and potions from the finest apothecaries to be found on the Rue de Merde in Paris, I still was racked with fever and at times had a rather unbalanced mind from days of ingesting tinctures and going to bed wrapped in fur blankets next to fires to thrash out the vileness that had taken residence about my person. My leisurely perambulation that I intend to undertake this year may well be a success though crowds can be such a bore, and I have heard that there may be an event of Olympian stature occurring while I will be visiting though I may try and get my butler, Mr Aston to ascertain exactly what this is and cancel it, the last thing a strolling gentleman needs is to have his quiet composure disturbed by people in shorts!

And are you looking forward to experiencing some of the weird and wonderful things b-side has on offer?

My dear, weirdness is only for people who have nothing to actually say so they have to affect a perfunctory queerness to get others to notice them. As for wonder, I gave up wondering about things long ago. Until such a time comes that somebody can explain to me why putting tea in bags has not become a hanging offence, I may then re-take up the activity of wondering but until then I will remain content to remain purely in the realm of the quotidian.

So who’s this furry friend that appears in the photographs with you?

His name is Sir Stanley Dancing-Legs, a rare and expensive imported breed mostly found in the South Pacific. Originally they were used to find gold and when they did, their legs would move so fast as they dug that is looked like they were dancing for joy. Still to this day, Sir Stanley can do a passable rhumba if the wind is in the right direction and the gramophone is on at full tilt.

Do you two spend a lot of time together?

Certainly not, a gentleman needs quiet contemplation and time to consider high minded things, Sir Stanley’s fixation with bottoms and genitalia destroys ones equilibrium and leaves one exhausted and quite out of sorts. His crudeness should be a sobering reminder to us all about avoiding the base pleasures of the body and opening up the olfactory canals to the muskiness of strangers encountered in the street. I only keep him now because it was my poor mama’s last request, if I had my way he would be being used to glue down

the envelopes of my letters, far more useful than a canine dancing dog, how could that ever catch on and what kind of sore brained nincompoop would watch it?

He has a moustache to rival yours – do you two share styling tips.

Our facial whiskers are sculpted with bees wax scented with lavender obtained from F.W.Trumper, in Jermyn Street, London. We each have our own moustache comb, carved from ivory with a pearl handle. My valet curls the ends around his little finger and then stands like that for thirty-five minutes until it is fully set.

We can see you’re rather a fashionable gentleman – where do you like to go shopping for your look?

A gentleman never does his own shopping. We have staff for that.

We hear you’ve been working hard pointing at things recently... tell us more.

Contemporary life can be so fast paced and bothersome that one misses the pleasures of simply observing what is about oneself. Many a time I have been held in rapture at the sight of spilt chipped potatoes cascading down a curb, or the delicate greens of phlegm on a seat or even better the surprised expressions on the faces of geriatrics, alive for another day yet knowing that death awaits them as certainly as night will follow day. My cane simply points these things out before they are lost forever. The minutiae of life is so much more interesting when it is framed and called to attention by a well bred man with a cane and a keen and cultivated taste. Only one who experiences beauty can illuminate the beautiful for others. It seems that it is my humble task in life to show those less refined and aesthetically maligned the true beauty of Weymouth through the terribly complex art of pointing.

So how do you like to spend your time relaxing, when you’re not promenading or pointing at things?

I have never been terribly energetic so have never done anything that I have had to relax from. A gentleman never breaks into a sweat, I tried exercise once and found it thoroughly disagreeable and implore all of you never to take it up if you want to stay fit.

Who would you invite to your dream dinner party?

Karl Jung

Lastly, in the spirit of what is taking place this summer... If you could choose or invent an event for the Olympics what would it be?

Well obviously point-to-point racing…I cannot believe that you have asked such an absurdly obvious question my dear!

Thanks Msr Poo-Pourri, we look forward to seeing you along the esplanade very soon!

Monsieur Poo-Pourri Points at thingsFollowing the success of his elaborate toe-dipping at b-side in 2010, Monsieur Poo-Pourri is returning again to Weymouth this year; dressed in his best Victorian clothes he will promenade along the Esplanade. He will point out the overlooked; dog shit on the pavement, a wonky sign, a stunning pattern on a handbag and also the truly startling; the sun in the sky, two lovers walking hand in hand...

Definitely not one to miss: Msr Poo-Pourri will be pointing at things on Weymouth Esplanade on Saturday 11 August and Sunday 12 August at 11am and 3pm

Cut out and keep your own Monsieur Poo-Pourri moustache!

The difference between success and failure can often be measured by the smallest of margins, and nowhere is this more true than with the pinnacle of competitive athletics; the 100 meter sprint. Milliseconds may be all that separates fame and glory from a soggy walk home.

Brute force for an exacting technique are what’s called for in the modern day wrestling event. It’s not enough to simply power one’s way through, success also requires the knowledge of when to brandish a bank note and make eye-contact with the bartender.

The ultimate endurance event. Competitors are characterised by their extreme stamina, determination and a week off sick. Those on the podium swear by inspirational mantras such as ‘Just one more episode’.

eVerYdaY ‘LYMPics

We posed the question to some of our b-side festival artists of what would THEIR alternative Olympic event of choice be. Some gave it a little more thought than others, but all came up with something unique... well, nearly all!

Having grown up in a Weymouth hotel run by his parents, photographer Iain McKell started creating a visual diary of the area during the 1970s, capturing a social record of those who lived, worked and holidayed here. McKell explores the world with an intense eye for detail, and his photographs present a society that is ever-changing, transient and complex. He later went on to photograph an unknown Madonna for her first magazine cover shortly before she first topped the charts, and has since shot for the likes of i-D, The Face, The Observer, Sunday Times, Independent and Vogue.

Beautiful Britain: Photographs from the 1970s to the Present by Iain McKell, with an essay by William Oliver is published by Prestel price £24.99 in hardcover (ISBN 978-3-7913-4701-1).

If you were lucky enough to attend the b-side opening launch at the ICCI360 Arena on Sunday night then you will have already seen cycle-powered electricity in action. b-side founder (and DJ) Alan Rogers was spinning the decks powered only by four bicycles and the sweat - thankfully no blood or tears - of partygoers from the crowd.

The bikes fueling the party were built by several local youth clubs in Weymouth and Portland working with eco-artists Magnificent Revolution who use alternative green technology – bikes – to create pop up cinema screens for exciting, exhilarating (and occasionally exhausting) film viewing experiences, powered by the audience.

The cycle-powered generators are something that b-side would love to buy as a permanent resource for Weymouth and Portland as part of their ‘b-side Encounters’ project - a youth arts programme set up and managed by b-side for local young people aged between 13 and 19. Young people work with artists, filmmakers, dancers and musicians - and past projects have already created some truly innovative and thought-provoking work.

If b-side Encounters had their own cycle-powered generators then they could stage pop-up events throughout Weymouth, Portland and beyond, and provide some amazing new opportunities to local young people. But b-side needs your help! They are fundraising for this project through crowd-

funding site www.pleasefund.us and need to raise £2,000 before the 31st August. For just a £10 or £20 donation, you could help bring this incredible tool to young people - and in turn provide free cycle-power for a whole host of new local events in the future. They are already part-way there; if just 88 people donated £10 in the next month then they are on course to smash their target.

Please help. Visit www.pleasefund.us/projects/bside-encounters-bicycle-cinema to help make this crazy cycle-powered dream a reality.
