I had the pleasure of attending the opening of the Bruce Barber psuedo-retrospective at Artspace on Thursday and was very impressed.  I’ll admit, I wasn’t familiar with the Canada based, New Zealand born artist but the work, from 70’s Fluxus era events to 90’s political activism to recent temporal projects analyzing Australian popular media and its coverage of immigration, was inspiring.
