I have had great difficulty in terms of getting onto AMPERSAND DUCK today...and realised that something was afoot...my internet connection kept on cutting out...

Anyway, the photo of the eyebrows look like COLLIE and DENIS HEALEY to me...who knows?

Why do BI not want anybody - particularly myself to know about this forthcoming EXHIBITION:

The opening is on Wednesday at 6pm, 1 Rosevear Place, Dickson

...I 'know' that BI were involved and that I shouldn't be allowed to highlight that one, upon this blogspot:

SOLAR

Having not been in any exhibitions yet this year, I'm now in two in the same week.

1. SOLAR



The first is a group show of ANCA tenants celebrating the kickass fact that we now have a wonderful roof of solar panels powering our gallery and office and feeding back into the ACT grid in a way that will pay them off within five years and then will generate a lovely bit of income for us, so that hopefully we can keep having hired help to run the gallery etc instead of having to do it ourselves.

I've been helping to hang the show after work and I must say that it's a really, really cool show, full of strong, diverse and engaging work.

The opening is on Wednesday at 6pm, 1 Rosevear Place, Dickson, and we're having some interesting people speaking: Dr Richard Denniss from the Australia Institute, Anne Clark from local organisation See-Change, plus there will be lots of information available for anyone interested in knowing more about solar installation and rebates. To add a bit of zing, we have wine and food sponsors (Casella Win, the ANU Food Co-Op, Homeleigh Olives and Choku Bai Jo) to help you relax and enjoy the art, darlings.

We're also having a few open studios at ANCA Dickson and Mitchell from 12 to 5 on Saturday (14 May) if you want to have peeks at working artists and see the show.
