well the locusts are here and a good essay is hard to find (although you could do worse than dip into best australian essays 2004 companion volume to the excellent best australian stories 2004 edited by frank moorhouse which features a story by wagga's own i.j.oog) and when marking student essays it is a good idea to have something else at hand the same time ...

newcastle region art gallery 9/11/04

how many ideas does it take to make an artwork?

the answer i would humbly suggest is : more than one - but perhaps the title of the festival which accompanies newcastle's electrofringe this is not art is apt

what it more disturbing is that it takes two curators (gail priest and sumugan sivanesan) and 16 sponsors to enable this woeful rubbish to be exhibited ]]> Thu, 11 Nov 2004 18:13:28 +1100 http://joh.net/iblog/B1928610187/C1919618305/E325203795/index.html http://joh.net/iblog/B1928610187/C676024269/E817333506/index.html

i previewed it what seems like a lifetime ago but now the new club diana album is out and you'd expect no less : it is a beauty - unfortunately the dutch goobers made a mistake with the spelling and so now the album is in the shop as "grill" ... ah well ...
