Marcus Westbury, formerly the artistic poobah of Melbourne’s Next Wave Festival and before that TINA in Newcastle, has created a TV show on ABC called Not Quite Art.

It’s a 3 part series and you can find plenty of media coverage about it already online, not least of which it’s own page on the ABC website.

Marcus interviewed NUCA’s Lucazoid for the show, a segment that will go to air in the second episode, about uncollectable artists. Particularly featured (so we believe) is NUCA duo NoBody and Maxine Foxxx with their Weedkiller project.

Marcus was running the Next Wave when NUCA presented its bubblegum cards back in 2004. He was with TINA when SquatSpace did its infamous unreal estate project back in 2002. And he’s as iconoclastic, cranky and self-deprecating as we are.

So he is pretty familiar with the NUCA territory…

Speaking of TV, check out Playkool the great DIY kids show which will be showing on community TV, and you can buy DVDs to watch it at home if you’re outside the broadcast zone.
