Do you think you'll get the chance to see the Jacks exhibition in Bendigo? I'm really keen to get some direct feedback on the project. As you might have noticed from my post regarding the search for the obscure publication Free Media Bulletin, I'm still working on the project, with a greater focus on the early, more conceptual stuff ... I'm hopefull that I'll be able to take this further (with more of a link to books by other artists working at the same time ... big names like Le Witt, or Ian Burn, for example. Must make a point of going through all the SLV holdings that might be relevant. Peter

- Hi Des,
I had a wonderful day in Melbourne, lots of walking, and a gallery or too.
My postal address is PO Box 373 Hindmarsh SA 5007, and street address is 87 Frederick Street Welland SA 5007.
The email I sent you had a fail message so I am sending you my PO number via this site.
Much love,
Dianne

- HI Des,
Lets say 11am, my plane lands at 9.30am and I will catch the bus in. If I am running a bit late it will just be flight times!
See you then,
Love Dianne

- Dear Des,
I will be in Melbourne next Wednesday/Thursday April 15/16, and wondering if I can meet with you and give you the book you ordered after the Brisbane Artist Book Fair! I could also show you my latest book as well? Wednesday would be best for me. Kindest regards, Dianne
