When Art Doesn't Go Right
This website is part of an upcoming series of multimedia works by artist Matthew Aberline, a collection of stories examining when things don't go to plan in the arts.
"Often artists are frightened to talk about the difficulties or painful aspects of working within the creative industry. The work is not about telling lies, or making accusations, simply talking about what happened and how that effected the artists."



Attached - a feature article by the Sydney Morning Herald about curator Iain Dawson:
"Six artists are pursuing Iain Dawson, the ''VIP guest manager'' for the inaugural Sydney Contemporary art fair in September, after he took their art works on consignment, sold them at his gallery and then spent the proceeds"
