The frantic search for the origin

While our more advanced efforts in establishing a paradigm of energy generated predominantly with the use of animation have been held back through lack of support, the recent crisis of our loss of place inspired this secret footage of some of the Oafy Ecotechnology energy devices. We thank Dexter Deacon for his generosity in releasing this footage. We hope to have established several fundamental prototypes in conjunction with our temporary monuments division before their carbon absorbing influence is of no use.

While exploring these essential issues, our outward eye has never strayed too far from the resurgent political influences currently on display worldwide, it seems that a mimetic fury is gathering in various corners of the globe. The frantic search for the origin of these events impels us outward from our peaceful residence, dwelling at the Shelly bay studios, where a temporary reprieve has been granted by our new landlords.

Prospective activity


Looking back at our archive of recent projects we see a recurrant theme of our monuments in relation to social unrest. To that end our graphical wing have created this gentle image of societal tumult. Further drawing exploring the notion of lowbrow animation are currently on show at the prestigious Enjoy Gallery situated on the same street as the 1932 Unemployment riots, often confused with the Public Amenities Riots mentioned in earlier bulletins. We hope that our readers will appreciate our exploration of the bottom rung, often attributed to an interest in invertebrate lifeforms.

Delving into the problematics and essential origen of these events, we have comissioned our research division to produce a brief bulletin regarding the notion of what is popularly know as a differential system, usually associated with linguistic analysis we hope this psychological approach will help to alleviate some of the difficulties arising from current confusions.

small works department


With our inner eye focused on the big picture we had failed to take into account the activities of the small works department. Utilising their limited resources they have commenced a line of mementos to the pastoral atmosphere of New Zealand.

The OAFY executive applauds their efforts, which will be on show at the LESA gallery, situated on picturesque Jackson street, Petone.

While the bull economy has ceased to rage perhaps these delicately sculpted busts will do something to ameliorate the financial woes of our OAFY artisans.

dwelling on the past


Until recently the importance of international travel has been overrated in the development of the idiosyncrasies of place. Many guests to the temporary monuments studios have been impressed with the existential in-dwelling of the studios. The recent rash of caricature artists to be seen driving around the Wellington region, making scapegoats of the contrivances of local activity, even while declaring their lack of anthropological integrity has drawn to our attention the true predicament of our temporary monuments division, namely its loss of a real history- and now its loss of a place in which to fabricate the memory of itself.This imperils it toward the strange need to appropriate humorously or forcefully - a new site of belonging.

It is with a sense of nostalgia then, that we here present an image of our studio as it was during its glory days. An image of the happy meeting of finished and unfinished work, the armature, the endless column. Waiting, being- the great arc of time that opened before us...

Members of our OAFY research division have also reported that OAFY researchers have been dismissed in their application to study in the halls of higher education. Our proposal fell upon deaf ears during a gruelling twenty minute interview where pointed questions were raised regarding the relationship of OAFY researchers to the dark arts of Animation. It seems that the emergence of Animation as a potential source of energy has inspired incredulity amongst the Academic fraternity and without wider Governmental support we fear that our enterprise may fall short of it targets.

Further bulletins will be forthcoming as our organisation moves through this difficult transitional period.
