Lucas Ihlein's art activities create social situations through collaboration.
Since 2000 he has been a member of the SquatSpace collective, which engages in the politics of space in Sydney. In 2004 he was a co-founder of the Network of UnCollectable Artists (NUCA), an artist collective which produced a set of bubblegum cards featuring Australia's 50 Most UnCollectable Artists. Since 2005, he has begun a series of blogging projects about particular locations: a small country town in Western Australia and his own suburb, Petersham, in Sydney.
He is also involved with the Big FAG Press, an offset printing collective, and is a member of experimental film group The Teaching and Learning Cinema.
“Bon Scott” is distributed amongst thousands of people, all across the planet. The responsibility for his immortality is shared. Bon is not a man; he is a fragmentary, cumulative process – the aggregate of a thousand disparate, dissenting voices - each with a different, constantly evolving story. And the good thing about the Bon Scott Blog is that there's room for all those voices to sing - although not always harmoniously - alongside each other.
