1st-Gen Scotstralian Clo Love is an emerging Meanjin (Brisbane) artist based in Kurilpa (West End).
A self-taught late bloomer, they found their footing in creating oversized installations for @shandy.party queer dances, and have since continued to expand their practice through soft sculpture, indie theatre set design (@curtainworld.xyz), and computer graphics, creating interactive pieces that are as camp as they are off-putting. Giant purple vulvas and bundles of plush intestines are included in their – maybe too literal – body of work.
Much like a New York rat, their art is very often born from what used materials are accessible to them at a given time, and they’ve been known to cut foam out of kerbside couches in order to avoid spending money. Sometimes they manage to turn the garbage they hoard into things that are quite nice to look at, but that don’t smell good.
They are a proud and under-qualified member of @thestitcherycollective, and in August debuted their first work as a Real Artist at @goobexhibition, before kindly being asked to never do so again.

**OPEN CALL | EOIs | ARI REMIX PRESENTS " FUTURE THINKING : DIY, ARIS & ALLIES - EXTRA ZINE Project 2 | Making A Difference in today's Artist-Run Multiverse [1970 to NOW ] " Letter of Support request**
**EOI OPEN CALL | EXTRA ZINE 2 SERIES 2024 | by Monday 24 september**
if you would like to make an archival zine [memory zine] about your direct involvement in SEQ/QLD artist groups, artist collectives, artist cooperatives and artist-run communities 1970 to NOW please send us an email by Monday September 24 2024 for the next funding application. EMAIL ME AT: info[at]remix.org. at a glance, with a letter about your zine concept {in a web-ready PDF format}, a one page CV and an image or two.
Happy Spring !
I hope all is swell for you.
I am writing to you today to invite you to kindly participate in the next iteration of the ARI Remix project 2024-2026 which aims to include 35 new artist/allies/ARI zine contributions. The new project title is:
ARI REMIX PRESENTS " DIY, ARIS & ALLIES | Making A Difference in today's Artist-Run Multiverse [1970 to NOW ] "
INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE | Arts Queensland | Artists' Letter of Support request
Building on the success of the ARI REMIX + EXTRA ZINE series of archival zines (2020-2023) I am aiming to grow and expand the project with 35 new memory zines. In this project the emphasis is on place-based making and meaning as ever and I am focused on international facing advocacy on Queensland artist run culture and heritage 1970 to Now.
The next iteration of the project is open-ended in nature, as per my ongoing accessibility and inclusivity approach. If you are interested in making a web ready archival memory zine - 600 words, 12 images with captions and credits about DIY, ARIs and ALLIES in SEQ/QLD a letter of support would be tremendous, I simply need an email reply to this invitation. [info[@]remix.org.au]
Just remember to include a brief 'speculative' sketch of what your ARI focused memory zines(s) may be about, and a brief who what where when and why etc. And if you have time maybe something pithy from your POV about why ARI Remix as a socially-engaged internet art work matters, and matters for you.
I need your email reply to submit with my application by MONDAY 25 SEPTEMBER 2023.
If we receive funding in January 2024 the project will begin in February for a 2 year period. There is a $600 artist fee for each artist participant colleague. Co-authored and multi-authored zines are encouraged.
This is the 'ARI zines as community archives' anthology feature we are growing and expanding in the next, and perhaps final, iteration 🙂

My dear friend, colleague, educator and mentor Urszula Szulakowska was working on her new book but died yesterday while recovering from a long illness. My sincerest condolences to Urszula's family, friends, colleagues, artist allies and students around the globe. We are truly grateful for her vast legacy of generosity and knowledge sharing.

Urszula was such a great supporter of the scene in Brisbane. She gave me so much of her time and encouragement after we meet at UQ when I was working there in the photography unit. You felt like your work was really seen with Urszula. Vale indeed.
I’m so sorry Paul. I didn’t know Urszula but I know how important her work was for the history of Brisbane. Deepest condolences to her friends and family.
So sorry to hear. Urszula was such a lovely person. Marxist to the core, the one thing she loved about the village she lived in was that it was in the first electorate to vote for Parliament in the English Civil War. I'm so glad I got to catch up with her on her last visit to Straya. Vale Urszula, dearly loved and sorely missed.
Urszula always seemed to have actual Fun messing about in the Arts in Brisbane. She claimed to have never experienced Fog while she was in Brisbane. i had to provide extensive photographic evidence. maybe she was kidding me ...
Oh dear Paul, I am shocked and saddened to hear of this news for you and many other friends who knew Urszula. My deepest condolences. She made such a massive contribution to the cultural history of Brisbane and the state. How very sad this news is. So sorry Paul. x
I’m so sorry to hear that. I used to enjoy our long chats about Buddhism, Vedanta and Baba Mukhtanada. I haven’t seen her in many years. A lovely woman.
What a shock. We had heard she was recovering. For all who knew Urszula we will all miss her enthusiasm, support and love. When few in Brisbane dared to value the work of local artists Urszula was a rock always there with her personal and professional backing which made such a difference. Such sad news.
Such sad news.
I'll say love.
No one has been so generous to my mind and the art that jumps out of it than U. The doubt concerning the validity of my years of work was assuaged by someone that cared enough to find the words that would feed the moon with emotion and give me this now, her last ripple to the sun.
Shocking and such sad sad news Paul.
What a great woman, an arts treasure
Vale Urszula, the best Fine Arts/ Art History lecturer at UQ. Will be sadly missed.
Sad news Paulie, what a ray of 💡 and font of knowledge she brought to the Art History Department. Great Scholar and cheeky sense of humour. I can still see her elegantly twisting off half a Taylor made and eagerly smoking the rest! Thank you Urszula for just telling me to get on with it and write that paper on the Hegelian dialectic 💗 caring and sharing! “Alchemy of Light” such a wonderous writer
At a time before there was a globe spanning web of digitally connected information or great engines to search it with, Urszula and i were standing at some exhibition opening, scoffing red wine, when i wondered where the phrase "the ghost in the machine" came from. Urszula did not know but said she'd like to. Weeks or months later she came back with the answer along with a context, social, philosophical, economic and historical. Where would we have been without her ? but less connected, comprehending and involved ?
So very sorry to hear this new Paul. Urszula was a goddess of arts in Brisbane. Thinking of you all.
Such sad news. She was a marvellous vivacious colleague at UQ. I looked forward to the regular paintings she used to post and so grateful for her encouragement of my writing and my own painting.
Hello thanks everyone for your kind and beautiful memories shared here over the past few days, here is photo of some of Urszula's many fabulous contributions to knowledge and an important note from Urszula's sister about respectfully not posting on Urszula's personal FB page now fyi, thank you one and all. "Dear Paul, I'm Urszula's sister Halina. I'm really sorry to have to tell you like this, but Ula passed away on Friday morning. Paramedics suspected a heart attack. I'm sorry that I'm using FB to tell you, but I'm trying my best to work out how to tell all of her friends. There's no easy way to deal with grief or to the break such news, to be honest. Please do not post any condolence messages on this FB page as I will be closing it. I'm still coming to terms with it myself." Take care everyone my love and hugs x
I am in a state of disbelief. I cannot believe that my wonderful friend is gone. She was so brilliant, so full of energy knowledge and ideas; an excellent art historian and educator who was so very involved in the contemporary art scene in Brisbane in the 1980s and early 90s. When we were racking our brains to think of a title for our new art magazine in 1987 it was Urszula’s eyeliner that inspired the title “eyeline”. Urszula lived some of the best days of her life in Brisbane, as did I, and she missed the conviviality and creativity of its art scene, as do I.
Thanks everyone xxx remix.org.au/vale-dear-urszula-szulakowksa-21-july-2023/
I only just saw this, so sad to see, Iet when quite young and was just a super nice kind person.

“The mild and woolly lamb, a square for his body, and a square for his head. So start with a circle. Draw the cock with full swinging curves. This handsome cock was once a chick.”
Join us for the Cam Day’s solo exhibition opening “Having a conversation with myself” on Saturday the 19th of August from 6-9pm.
Cam Day is a multidisciplinary artist based in Meanjin (Brisbane). Day’s practice signposts the passage from childhood to adulthood, and the abject nostalgia associated with his upbringing. He employs a queer perspective, reappropriating past trauma into future comfort. His montage of technicolour memories presented through mixed media drawings and sculptural installation, communicate a sense of play and humour in the face of the domestic absurdity that is ingrained in our lives. “Having a conversation with myself” weaves a new allegory that grapples with the comedy of being a queer adult; what it means to love, to grow, and to understand ourselves and our place in the chaos.
Wreckers Artspace & Cam would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which it is situated, The Turrbal and Jagera, and pay our respects to their elders, past present and emerging. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded.
