<strong>BDAA</strong>: Back to your art. Is there anything coming up show-wise in your native Australia?<br />

JB: Due to COVID, everything is in the air. The potential is endless but even pre-COVID I generally don’t know about<br />

show’s myself until 2 months before. In which case, I crank production into gear. Nothing in concrete just yet but I’m<br />

sure a phone call with a deadline will surprise me before the year is out.<br />

<strong>BDAA</strong>:.And how is the art market Down Under? For us here in the U.K. the small-to-medium size galleries and event<br />

organisers have been hit especially hard. Are you finding it the same over there?<br />

JB: Yes actually, luckily our government has given the art world a boost financially to get through these tough times.<br />

But without openings and events, many are suffering. Progressively it feels it’s either master the online platforms or<br />

die. A harsh reality but it is what it is. Many won’t make it but those left standing will thrive in the “new normal”.
