CELEBRITY TALK in association with Paths to abstraction 1867-1917
Flacco, comedian
Abstraction? Your gesture's as good as mine.
Locating the path to abstraction in the Australian cultural desert is

deterred, Flacco, your non-representational representative packs his
crayon and sets off in search of aesthetic sustenance in this sunburnt
country, this land of sweeping statements.
This could take some time... |  |
