I read this article in my Aboriginal Art Reading Group alongside Brenda Crofts’ Me-take exhibition (PCP) catalog essay and they were such complementary pieces. One reader in our group requested Pilkington write a 10,000 word essay; I hope to read more by him soon.

Comment on Len Lye: Same Old Story? by Roger Horrocks

I agree very much with your main point, Adrian — Len certainly had (and continues to have) a Cheshire grin. I have just made my own attempt to do justice - via the book ART THAT MOVES: THE WORK OF LEN LYE, just published by Auckland University Press. In the book I try to bring together Lye’s many ideas on movement; and to illustrate his practice, I have added a DVD which contains four of his films, footage of five of his sculptures, and a film I’ve made about him. ART THAT MOVES is a companion to the biography I wrote 8 years ago — this one is a survey of his work and theories. Not that it’s going to dispel all his Cheshire mystery. (I chose exactly that kind of image of a laughing Lye for the cover.) I’ve also curated an exhibition on the theme of Lye’s art of movement, now on show at the Gus Fisher Gallery in Auckland. A lot smaller than the ACMI show but more selective. Anyway, thanks for the thoughtful comments in your post. -Roger Horrocks

Well done Glen,
we met at the Indigenous photography forum in Melb. Fantastic paper, it really resonates with me, my Indigenous identity & the complexities of making art within the “brand.”

We saw your work at Dubbo last week. What a beguiling piece it is! Beautifully paced - would that life could return to it. Thankyou, Louise NIcholas

I was moved to see the series of photos at the Indigenous Art display in Perth. I work with trying to bring rest to landscapes being highly damaged by livestock grazing in the southwest US (in the state of Utah). I am wondering wither Nici Cumpston has a video of her works, or some way I might be able to bring her images to people in southwestern United States.

my computer is taking forever to load the photo. But now I’ve read the text I don’t think I need to see the image!

This is quite a thought provoking article. Reminds me of those recent movies of blind photographers too! I wanted to touch the Braille under the photo!
