Being Boring: More Dead Gay Artists is an exhibition zine for a show curated by Robert Lake, who returns to presenting work by his friends who are no longer with us: Phillip Jacobs, Philip Juster, David McDiarmid, Bill Morley and a single work by Jasper Havoc.
“We were interested in nature, art, politics, men, music,drugs, sex and dancing. From the 1970s, we made our own art, clothes, mixtapes, entertainment – creating our own world in what would become known as Sydney’s gay ghetto.”This inaugural title from queer publisher Omo Books documents an exhibition at Darren Knight Gallery, Sydney(4 February to 4 March 2023). Robert Lake gives some anecdotes about the lives of each of the dead gay artists.
Artists: Phillip Jacobs, Philip Juster, David McDiarmid, Bill Morley and Jasper Havoc.
