Great article, you’ve pointed out a few things that I hadn’t really thought of before!

You’re right about the photographs, it was a little hard to get the sizes right! I’ll know it all for the next article though. Thank you, that’s so encouraging!

I’ve been meaning to get into Firefly for a while too, I’ve seen the first episode and that was enough to get me interested! Great article, really easy to read, and very interesting! I too wasn’t aware that shows like Family Guy were once cancelled, they’re so popular!

Wow, thanks so much! Unfortunately there aren’t many images from the actual Smalltown series online, but if you can get your hands on a copy to have a look at I would really recommend it!

Great article, I too find these types of performance art so fascinating, but kind of hard to swallow. The performance artist Mike Parr came to Hobart, Australia and did a work in the museum there years ago [Hobart was a blank canvas for works such as these before David Walsh opened Mona’s doors], and people are still discussing it to this day. Certainly gets people’s attention!

Very true! Perhaps one of the reasons we [I know it’s true for me anyway] are sometimes fascinated and attracted to these places/structures could be related to feeling sorry for them in some way? Just a thought anyway!

Thanks! That’s a really good perspective, and one that I hadn’t really thought about since I’ve always been wary about my bias point of view! I’ll be definitely looking at things with this in mind in the future!
