“NOTFAIR aims to present visitors with an alternative perspective on contemporary art in Melbourne and provide exhibiting artists with an opportunity to show work to a larger and broader audience,” says Sam Leach. “The NOTFAIR is not so much an anti-fair as it is an inversion of standard practice,” Leach says. “The emphasis will be upon the intriguing, the innovative, the emerging and the adventurous.”

Fans of the Mighty Boosh, and Noel Fielding in particular, might be curious to hear about an exhibition of his art works that opened recently—in a Soho patisserie, of all places.
The artist and comedian paid homage to singer Bryan Ferry with some of his paintings in a series sub-titled “Bryan Ferry vs. Jelly Fox” and handed out Ferry masks to the first 100 visitors to the exhibition. He also played badminton in the street outside and was seen sporting a variety of outfits and pancake face makeup.
Whatever he’s on, I want some.
The paintings themselves are quite interesting. Very bright, quirky, bold and I would imagine quite saleable. The works are available for purchase through his art dealer and I imagine they will sell like hotcakes—or maybe just cakes? They are in a patisserie after all.

Everyone’s saying this is a bland election campaign. There’s no money for big new initiatives, and no grand vision for our future. Well, if there’s something that artists are good at, it’s being creative with no money. Read all about Artworks on ABC Radio National →
