My book review of the catalogue on the Wellington Media Collective published last year by Victoria University Press, subsequent to a major exhibition at the Adam Art Gallery has just been posted on EyeContact. As I stated in my introductory paragraph:
"While reading the richly detailed and illustrated retrospective compilation of the Wellington Media Collective‘s activist graphics, mainly consisting of screen-printed posters, handbills, and flyers, I recalled George Orwell’s statement that “all art is propaganda” along with the aphorism of Marshall McLuhan that “art is anything you can get away with.” Both of these came to mind as for two decades it seems that the Collective embodied the lively and irreverent spirit of both these rather tendentious but rousing claims...."
