What a list of lovelies!!

Hi Paul. Although the IMA had a guest-curated exhibition program in that period (between John Nixon’s and Peter Cripps’ directorships), the No Names exhibition was deliberately not curated, as in no one selected or rejected works. It was an open call. Malcolm Enright designed the catalogue. Ted and I called it No Names after the cheap Italian restaurant in East Sydney. I can’t remember Ted’s work in the show.

i was helping a large older American woman with The Lift she felt the need to comment that although she had seen exhibitions all over the world she had not seen anything like THIS ! it was a JOKE ! i said - perhaps if you tell your friends they will be amused to come and take a look. Well - let me tell ya - she said - i don't have any friends here. i bit my tongue

I am writing this I hope in con text with the topic and not as a bit of gratuitous nostalgia from a tedious old fart. In Brisbane 1967 the only game in town in regard to any semblance of Avant Garde art practice was The Queensland Contemporary Art Society. Roy Churcher, then Secretary I think, considered that it's younger members should have their own voice and fora for expression in regard to the new waves of international art practice emerging. The group was formed and to launch it an event organised. We were going to have our own little bit of San Francisco psychedelic " happening ". The program was a screening of Underground short films with suitable cool music. At St Mary's church hall , Kangaroo Point an environment was created . A large semi-egg shape dome was constructed out of paper filled with shredded newsprint about 500 mm deep. Strobe lights installed and Frank Zappa music blasting at obscene decibel levels. The punters loved the films and at the end demolished the props in a wild frenzy of torn paper and confetti to the soundtrack of "Call Any Vegetable ". To empty the hall we loaded vans with the shredded newsprint and bodies and distributed it all over Qld. Uni and MtCootha. The next day an article ran in The Courier Mail, " Snow on MtCootha. We didn't have proper, responsible ARIs then .

Nice to see Luke Roberts there. Have you ever cheated with Alex Mackay and what places he went to then?
