Spaces of Ego

Attendees at the Spaces of Art conference at Sydney's Artspace this weekend were treated to an excruciating display of ego in the closing session. Audience members were left squirming in their seats, eyeing the exits and desperate for a piss or a drink when Thomas Berghuis, Reuben Keehan and Blair French each made several desperate attempts to get the last word in. The microphone went around the three men several times for pompous and ponderous summations before the trapped audience members could finally make a break for it, relieve their bladders and hit the bar.
