Real Art Works @ the Roxy Gallery, Kyogle

Well, the exhibition was officially opened in some sort grandeasy style the evening of the day just passed, it being 32 minute after the hour of two in the morning.... I find myself speaking in the style of the Southern american gent for somereason. I gave a speach this eve, weird especially I suppose if one takes the 1952 Concise (only 15 inches thinck and the 2 dimensions of a telephone book) Websters international (mind you!) Dictionary meaning of the word weird. A scottish word meaning supernatural or fated. What is fate other than knowing that what you are doing is exactly the right thing to be doing at that moment. All doubt lies behind the sofa like a disregarded sock. There is in that moment or in the momennts of reflection afterwards something akin to everything. In that moment and the moment of appreciation aftwerwards we can surpass the rules of competition between human beings and just become humans being. Don't get me wrong this aint no hippy diatribe. Any way the speech consisted of the notion that interating with your creativity will make you happier whoever you are, whatever your ability. It does for me. more later xyzeb

REAL ART WORKS @ the Roxy

It was a frustrating day, 

no car,

30 k's from some of the artworks I needed to get to the gallery

after a night in the studio pretending not to be there

using the screens until the ink dried and blocked the image out

trying not to cough,

about two or three days away from completing some of the work that

I suggested to myself at least may have been done at this point,

This point being the day that the exhibition is to be installed.

i like Chinese and tap dance triggers intercepting with reasonable doubt,

lost documents, inturrpted communications

and heartbroken friends at the public phonebox on Magellen St.

Whitey did  coupla hundred k's and me and my stuff got there.

I love a joke.

I am a joke

ergo I love myself.

Kyogle Art Exhibitop

hi

my name is michael

i like to draw and stuff

sometimes i even sing a tune or two

the other day i painted on a suitcase

some of my friends thought- "hey, that's a groovey doovey idea"

so i took on their enthusiastic words and painted a few more.

frankly, it is a lot of work for "hey, that's groovey doovey' but what can you do?

nothing?

but then again- there's no 22% commission  on nothing is there. 

tax is just a short, sharp way of saying "thanks"

no worries.
