“Beginning without thought” is an attempt by artist Billy Burke to explain the foundation of his work practice.  Billy will be a presenter at the first 2008 Art on the Line forum at Mars Hill Café, Parramatta, on Saturday, February 16, at 4pm. He is likely to be joined by other artist friends in presenting work.

Squeaky Wheel

Welcome to the Squeaky Wheel page.

Squeaky Wheel is a loosely-formed artists group from Western Sydney, NSW of which I'm a member. I plan to update this page with the group's activities as they happen.

    Starring Nick and his dance group from Granville and Emmanuel the rapper from Mount Druitt, this performance by Squeaky Wheel at the UpTown Festival, Ultimo, NSW was an absolute hell-raiser.
    You can watch part of the performance on YouTube or on the right panel on the site as recorded by group member Juan-Carlos Martinez.
    The recycled-media 'bling' is designed by another member of the group - Fida Haq (oui, c'est moi).

    Previous posting:
    Tropicana Fashion Show by Squeaky Wheel at the UPTown Festival 2007 At this year's Uptown Festival at Ultimo, our group Squeaky Wheel is taking part in a fashion show based on the theme of tropicana, which is also the theme of this year's festival. So be there to check out some out-of-the world fashion completely made of recycled materials in accompaniment of playful African song and dance routines.

    Juan-Carlos Martinez and Aguel Deng - both Squeaky Wheel members - acted in it while the screenplay, camera and editing were done by me. The location for the shoot was the Sydney Park in Newtown.
