At last, a stirring in the rubble of my creative life.

Great things have happened this week. It has been one of the best weeks for me since arriving back in Australia.

I have found a wonderful artists’ community site called CultureInside, which is run by Gila and Dominique Paris. It has a vibrant collective of artists and has been the hub for important activity and communication about the arts.

At CultureInside, I met with Volker Schuetz, who was calling for artists to get involved with “Galerie Verticale”, a show which will run from April 30th 2008 to May 4th, at The Silo, Saarbruecken, Germany.

The Silo, which looks a lot like the one near me in Collingwood (below), will host vertical images in the 4:1 ratio, which will be printed with an old black & white Xerox machine then to be painted by the Silogroup.

I have also this week been invited to be part of a group show called “Souped up Pontiac”, to be held at MONA, the artspace of Jef Bougeau, Detroit. It will open on May 10th and feature a group of 12 artists from all over the world.

I will post more information about Souped up Pontiac as is becomes available.
