Zine Fair, Museum of Contemporary Arts, 24 May 2009.

Your eyes just got a workout.

I know Cooltrans is short for cool transport but in Cabramatta where I saw this van Cool Trans has an entirely different meaning.

This is the MCA Zine fair. I couldn't believe it was happening again. See last year's blog entry.

Even more stalls and more people than last year.

Familiar faces from This is Not Art zine fair. See This is Not Art blog entry (bloody hell, still texting?)

This year, the MCA also put on talks. This one was about blogging vs. traditional publishing.

I emailed Jxe and my cool friend Niels into attending the fair.

Cindy Sherman and Ed Ruscha prints for $2 each. Clk Clk Boom!

Tristan Still.

Tristan had prints from his show at ma Gallery on sale.

The elusive Samuel Hodge finally caught on camera.

Dan.

Yu.

Leigh The Time You Were in Paris Rigozzi

Jamie.

The crew Joe, Tristan, Dave and Mark. Mark had the foresight to book a table early, (they were snapped up quicker then AC/DC tickets) these other three took full advantage.

Raquel Ormella dropped by our table.

Sam Stephenson.

Wade Burkit reaching for the Kill Pixie book. He was featured on the cover of Transworld Skateboarding once, one of a few Aussies to ever do so.

MCA Barkley.

Dave Ladd, getting me to mind the store while he does some business.

Conor tried convincing me he wasn't attending the fair this year, and here he was faning out.

Evaluation. Forgot to add how piss poor the MCA photography policy is. Which didn't seem to be enforced today. It basically states that there is no photography anywhere inside or outside the MCA no matter if you are photographing an artwork or your own hands. No photography is permitted of the MCA buildings. Flash or no flash, I once tried to take a photo through a window of the MCA looking out over the harbor and was told to put my camera away. Photography is not your enemy.

No photograph till next year.

I stepped outside the MCA and photographed this view. I take for granted where I am sometimes. Fair dinkum.
