not quite art

The art show that believes there is life outside the galleries.



Marcus Westbury, creator and host of the utterly fantastic ABC series Not Quite Art is working on season 2, and he wants your ideas.

From the Facebook group Friends of Marcus' Not Quite Art TV Show:

Dear friends of the show,

Sorry for the spam but at least i am trying to consolidate these things now.

1. If you loved Not Quite Art (or hated it and just want a decent quality copy to complain) then you can now buy DVDs of the first series. A bargain at $34.95! I'd sign them for you but i'm not physically near the big room with all the DVDs in it. However i do promise to buy you a beer if you see me around and you have some verifiable proof that you bought a copy!

Buy them from here (or make someone else buy them from here):

Buy one, i'm poor!

2. I've written a big essay for a fancy literature journal. It's called Fluid Cities Create and it is in the current edition of Griffith REVIEW. If you watched and liked NQA you will probably recognise a lot of the themes that i've explored in the essay.

To read all about it and download a PDF for FREE, go to my web site:

3. Last, but not least, I am still on the lookout for interesting people, artists and ideas to appear in the next series (which was going to be called Culture Shock and is now probably going to be called Not Quite Art again). To find out more about what the series is about visit this page:

Oh, and if you're bored and trying to kill some time you can also read about my hilarious shenanigans at the TV Week (tm) Logie (tm) awards (tm). Strangest. Night. Ever:
