Notes
An extremely scarce survival from the short-lived but at the time influential 'bad boy' art group Galerie Puta that in its time saw Cameron Platter, Ed Young, Andrew Lamprecht, Vuyisa Nyamende amongst others as informal members. The title of the group emerged after all the members of the group saw their conceptually-based works not being selected for the Absa l'Atelier shortlist. In response, they decided to have an art exhibition-cum-party in the bathroom of Bridget Baker's house and declared themselves prostitutes to their art. They hosted a series of other events and parties of which this was the last.
