Danielle is at it again. One of our fave uncollectables is living for 3 years speaking only in quotes. See an interview with her here:

and speaking of extreme prolonged projects, this fellow photographed everything he ate for a year. A few people have done this one, from memory, a Singaporean guy (can’t remember his name) - it’d be interesting to put em side by side to compare.

In other news, Luca from NUCA went up to the Tweed Heads Regional Art Gallery to present a slide show about NUCA. The bubblegum cards are in the Multiplicity show curated by Glenn Barkley and Katie Dyer which is on up there now. By the way, if you go to the MCA page you can download uncollectable artist Deborah Kelly’s pdf prints for your own printing delectation!

Finally, uncollectable Kirsten from Cicada is off to Banff in Canada, doing a residency there. You can follow her adventures here.

Ah, the irony.
NUCA’s 2004-2005 project has come full circle. Australia’s 50 Most UnCollectable Artists Bubblegum Collector Cards have been collected by the University of Wollongong, and will be included in an upcoming exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.

[there’s a PDF document about the exhibition here.]

Three highlights from the NUCA e-list:

Amazing drawings by mazen kerbaj in Lebanon (thanks to Zanny for the tip off).

A set of documentary photographs from the pvi collective’s tts: route 30 (thanks to cicada).

and finally

The NUCA bubblegum cards now online! [fronts, backs] (these will soon be embedded within the NUCA site…)

(and while yer at it, you can see pix of them being traded last year at various swap-meets…)
