THE PATTI SMITHS MANIFESTO

Patti Smith
concerned more about bees than terrorists
prototypical
contemporary artist;
bibliophile,
poet,
pilgrim;
mother,
writer,
rock star,
polaroid shooter,
paper napkin journal jotter;
Patti’s everyday
imbued with the cosmic
coupled with the Universe;
but why does she watch
all that crap television?

Perth’s disparate and famously
non – conforming;
Patti Smiths Art Collective;
describe their work
loosely as
neo-modernist,
post / retro-punk
with ironic dollops of pomo kitsch.

Starring – Kevin Ballantine, Emma Dowdell, Mike Gray, Joe Landro, Sarah Landro, Nicole Lobry de Bruyn, Graham Miller, Harry Reid-Sadler, Duncan Wright.
