TURNING THE PAGE ON A NOVELY

a novelty has been awarded 'Most Innovative Project' and 'Best Interpretation of the Theme Hidden Spaces' at the Mudfest awards.

The project will now go into hibernation (we will not be removing any of the pieces, though, in the hope that they will be discovered in a few years and make people feel like they have found something important.)

We hope to rejuvenate the project next year in the streets of Melbourne. Please keep your eyes open.

THE RINGMASTER

The Ringmaster is a wrangler of pigs. Find him here, cowering under the stairs near the Zoology building.

THE PORTAL

Look out for a portal in a lavatory near you:

FIND MARY AND MARCIA

R.I.P ANTONIUS

Antonius has been removed. He will be remembered. It is likely that he will not be the last one we lose.

The following text was found scratched into a park bench near the place Antonius sat when it rained:

... From here he watches the coats shoulder past through the water, rain popping on hunched shoulders, coins punching thighs in swinging pockets.

YOU ARE INVITED

Begin your 'A Novelty' collection tomorrow (Tuesday the Eleventh of August, Two Thousand and Nine) at the opening of Mudfest in the festival club.

M is for Mary.

WHERE TO FIND ANTONIUS

THE LIBRARIAN

The Librarian says he has read a book that has stopped him eating.

Now he reads his meals.

He reads eggs and bacon at breakfast time.

Sandwiches at lunch.

Chicken and Potatoes at dinner.

On Sundays he sits at the table and reads roasts to his children.

They say: “read us the one about ice cream”, for they are hungry.

He says: “not until I have finished reading you the one about the roast” and they sigh and twirl their hair between their fingers.

To visit the Librarian, explore the Baileau.

This is what the Librarian looks like:

Barry is also in the library:

Yellow tags mark the spot. Do not look for Xs.

You will find Xs everywhere, but they probably will not help.
