I recently curated an exhibit named 16 Songs (short version). It was a
collaboration between Edgar Heap of Birds and 18 Australian Aboriginal
artists from Tandanya Aboriginal Art Center in Adelaide and Boomali
Cooperative in Sydney. I'd be happy to send you info on it. My number
is 314 7210072 x 208. The exhibit is looking for venues, they were
asking $3,000 for it but I think that rate might have been reduced.
Edgar will be sending the show around himself in 97. Right now the
University if North Texas is handling it.
We had some negative feedback from the old guard, the younger
generation loved it. Over 9,000 folks came through to see it.

Looking forward to hearing from you, Jackie Lewis-Harris
