The art of football's new rules

And one last example of what Victorians are getting for their artsy dollar:
Gabreille de Vietri: Development and presentation of "Three teams", a performance installation, interactive sculpture and documentary video involving three Horsham Australian Rules football teams.
Translated, that means  Gabrielle is going to put 54 opposing footballers on the field at the same time and film them running around according to the artist's instruction.

Tom Wills invented a whole sport for the cost of a few beers, a pencil and a seat in a pub near where the MCG now stands. Now, a lot more than that gets you an interactive sculpture and an approving interview  on the ABC.

One thing that is not readily apparent at Arts Victoria's website: the names of those on the selection panels who are rolling out suck* largesse. It would be very interesting to trace their relationships with recipients.

* originally a typo, but so unintentionally appropriate it must remain
