One of the agendas when we started Galerie Brutal was to circulate a monthly booklet of ideas called Brutal News. It was an open forum often featuring artist pages as well as our monthly exhibition programming and publicity for Brutals social events.
In those days it was all done by hand, cut and paste and illustrated by David Lawrence Stafford.
I’m so proud that the whole series representing 3 years of activity is safely archived in important public collections across Australia.
