The association of the plague



During the past week with all departments experiencing a disarray not uncommon in times of economic hardship, the OAFY executive were pleased to receive several submissions of collaboration between departments.

The research division, upset at the removal of key works from the collection for sale, have gone ahead with commissioning a series of works exploring cruelty, distance, theatricality and form. As distance from the visceral has long been an effort undertaken by the OAFY executive we have restricted the research commission to the production of a series of small works which retain in simple testamentary form the concept of the plague. This we are reliably informed is part of an ongoing project undertaken by the research division in reclaiming a rhetoric of the relationship of the Absurd to both distance and nature, we have also uncovered compelling evidence of various other groups engaged in the own plague ridden activities, while we naturally keep our distance, we applaud these efforts at sustained collaboration. Works from the association of the plague will be on display at the newly renovated Mind your head gallery, on the Shelly bay Wharf from the 18th of April- 17th May, by invitation.
