1. Campaign to repaint Keith Haring mural grows

    Keith Haring’s last surviving mural in Australia was painted at the Collingwood Technical College in 1984. Since then, the mural has gradually fallen prey to signs of old age, which sparked a campaign by Arts Victoria in 2010 to conserve the work.

    I wish all his work was restored, I remember one piece at Richmond station long since covered over by other street art and bill posters.

  2. I’ve learnt from experience that a painting isn’t finished when you put down your brush – that’s when it starts. The public reaction is what supplies meaning and value. Art comes alive in the arguments you have about it.
