John Baldessari and me

John Baldessari  "Tips for Artists Who Want to Sell," 1966-68

John Baldessari is using my name (along with those of 99,999 other people) as part of his work Your Name in Lights for the Sydney Festival.

I feel compelled to note this event as it's the only chance I'll ever get to mention his name in the same sentence as mine. I'm due to appear at 19:38:20 GMT Wednesday January 19, 2011 emblazoned across the Australian Museum’s William Street façade.

Your Name in Lights reflects the changing cult of celebrity in modern society and draws on imagery from Broadway theatre displays and Hollywood films.
