It is a conversation that you have and have with the family or as you meet people who don't do art, but over the last couple of years I've started to say that I like him, I say things about Pierre Bonnard, maybe its a stretch, but give it a go its funny to try and reverse the conversation, the cringe is to easy, and too cultural cringe of ourselves, and as the rest catches up with hating him its too easy to join just in. art seems to be a bit more able to be happy or involved with being from from Australia at the moment, and it's not just funny to like Done, but also too funny. I'm looking forward to Fergus Binns at Uplands. Kate

I ws talking to Matt H about this blog the other day, and he was saying he'd had that same conversation with his family just recently - it's the ur-Done conversation.
I was also talking to a 21-year-old about Ken Done who pronounced his name as 'dun', as in, done. Nice.
