LINEAGE was an exhibition with Helga Groves and Justin Trendall at Gertrude Street in Melbourne. I exhibited the paintings that I had shown in the "Grammar of Ornament" at First Draft WEST the previous year.
Although I had made the work to fit specifically within the First Draft space - and had managed to sell a couple of pieces - I figured that I could work out a hanging arrangement that would work within the Gertrude St space once I arrived. Eerily the truncated version fitted exactly onto the two side walls of Gertrude St......do do do do (cue Twilight Zone music....).
Below is the text from the room sheet that we produced. I think Justin wrote it? (please let me know otherwise...) and why were there no writing credits included?....
Again, I have no images of the exhibition...except in my mind...(I was particularly hard up for cash in those days and couldn't afford frivolities like documentation - it was hard enough getting to Melbourne - thank god the digital camera finally got invented...), but here are some images of separate pieces from the show.
