Machine War shown at Art School 40th

The ANU School of Art recently held 40th birthday celebrations including Lucence, a 3-day screening of performance and video works by students and alumni. Of course a number of Splinters members studied there and the company performed at the School on several occasions. I suggested Lushun Tan’s video Machine War, which includes footage of the legendary performance at the 1991 Art School Ball as well as from Cathedral of Flesh at the 1992 Adelaide Fringe Festival. Link below to the room sheet, which includes Luhsun’s artist statement about the video.

Flyers, tickets, clippings

A miscellany of Splinters material in the ACT Heritage Library archive from right across the history of the company – tickets, press cuttings, flyers, stickers, which were in DB’s collection in a grey plastic satchel. The handmade Cathedral of Flesh “Boot” ticket is my favourite.
