This is the rather striking invite for the exhibition STILL BLACK that my friend’s partner DC is holding at Boomalli gallery as part of the Mardi Gras arts festival (he is the curator, a sort of Koori Charlotte York if that makes it easier for you). DC will have about 15 exhibits as part of this, and my friend Scooter is part of it, I am very looking forward to going, its Scooter’s first major exhibit. I don’t envy him though – all the pre opening night nerves, running around tending to the thousand details that would be constantly on your mind, wanting – nay demanding (and rightfully so) to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Just think mister – it will all be worth it very very soon. Fingers crossed, best of luck, Rado and I are very looking forward to being there on the night with you guys and all the other arts ‘luvvies’ (just had to work that term in there somehow).
Of course, if any of you are out there in cyber arty farty land are interested in coming along, get in contact with any of the guys via the above link or through the Boomalli site directly. I’m sure it will be a great exhibit.
There! My first “Art” post, hopefully the first of many, especially if my “Bennelong” project gets any legs. It’s a bit of a secret for now, more to come later!

You will be fine. I’m sure the energy from the nerves will be just what you need to get you over the line.

You think differently about the article or about the exhibit?
The exhibit – STILL BLACK – opened on Friday which we went along to, it proved to be a great night, especially for my friend who was one of the featured artists of the show!

I’m not sure, possibly. I can post some pictures of the exhibit up here if you like. My friend who was featured here already may have additional work from the first night – so it was an unqualified success on all counts I think!

Thanks for the comments. I still need to practice my disclipline about keeping entries to single topics – where appropriate of course. I don’t like to ‘ramble’ but sometimes, given the subject matter, you just can’t help it.

Thanks Elka for the nice words. I am still ‘learning’ the ropes of being what I think is a good writer – and I dont think I am anywhere near that just yet – but thanks anyway. I always try to simplify what I am trying to get across, as sometimes I think in quite complex terms. So the simpler the better – sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t!
