Issue 31
This issue breaks from convention as we feature two artists – Guy Maestri and Luke Sciberras. These two artists are not collaborators, but the very best of mates. Other features include an interview with landmark South African photographer, Roger Ballenm, as well as features on Louisa Chircop, Leslie Rice and Angus Mcdonald. New York based writer Paul Flynn rounds up exhibitions on the East Coast, USA, and Trevor Weekes writes on the longevity of art works. Look forward to extended book reviews, previews, and whats on around the country in View Australia.
