Off the Road with Ruth Skilbeck
The Diary of an Art Critic and Boycotter of
the Biennale of Sydney sponsored by the profits of imprisonment and torture of
asylum seekers, on Australia’s Pacific prison islands, Manus and Nauru.
I will be diarising my boycott of the Sydney Biennale 2014 on this website over the coming months.
Please join me, for an ethical and creative new alternative that puts Art and Artists before Money and Sponsorship before Corporate Greed.
I will be writing about those brave artists who are boycotting the Biennale from their moral principles, the ones who stand up and say No, they will not accept that Australia is the fascistic state that the current - dubiously elected- current "Liberal" (conservative- fascistic) political regime is implementing, we are more than this, we are Human, with souls, and a need to freely express ourselves.
Over the past few decades a war has been waged, on artists, on free thinkers, on the individual.
We resist that.
There may not be photos of me in cafes, but there will be photographs of art, and articles and reviews of artists and their works and this journey off the beaten track shall be published as a book later this year.
