'Skull Gully', by Martin Bell
The funny thing about Marty's work is that initially, it seems like a big mess. Shit is everywhere, it's hard to make out what is what, and, although it is indisputably impressive, you wonder if it is anything more than the unedited spewings of a crazy person with a lifetime subscription to Mad Magazine.

*Tastes Self*
Goin' up the country - still don't give a fuck. *Tastes Self* is psychocowpunkhorseshitmentaldrama dredged from the childhoods of the sprite-sized Kate Smith and the benign sorcerer Alex Vivian. Introduced at Kate's first show at Utopian Slumps, Whoops Kibbutz, the pair got chatting - just like the yokels they aren't - about growing up in lower NSW's bucolic Riverina and all that pastoral goodness.
CROSS COLOURING
Sir Clement Freud went to New Zealand in 1978. When I asked the old sauce what he thought, he replied, "I find it hard to say, because when I was there it seemed to be shut."
I went to Joint Hassles this year and when my editor asked me for my art review, I replied, "I will find it hard to write that Michelle, because when I was there it seemed to have closed due to Northcote rent hikes.

Art openings can be incredibly awkward affairs. You bumble in all enthusiastic and laughy, only to be met by a sea of quickly averted eyes and icy silence, prompting a diary check to make sure you haven't stumbled across a meeting of the Uptight Pricks Alliance.
Hell Gallery openings are more relaxed affairs, with lots of pleasant distractions such as music, dancing, movies and barbecued snags, all of which are generally frowned upon in the art world.
