Wet togs act as criticism


In a recent exhibition in MGU an unidentified artist hung their wet togs to dry. The exhibition lasted for 24 hours, and left many wondering whether it was some sort of commentary on New Zealand contemporary painting.

Dear [name withheld],

We are glad you received our letter about the 'Mobile P Lab', and must disappoint you again, the 'Porn Studio' stickers were another joke from our sticker happy neighbours.

Neighbours stick stickers



Dear [name witheld]

While the sticker on the window said 'Mobile P Lab', this was just a prank from one of the neighbours, we are not selling or supplying 'the dreaded p' and the 'Mobile P Lab' is not for rent.

MGU

Artist uses friends

Dear [name withheld],

We were very glad to hear that you had some portraits of your friends "kicking round" and that you wanted to "make a quick buck", and to respond to your query about whether MGU would be the place to "hock them off", the firm answer is no.

Sincerely,
MGU

Artist has mess in mind

Dear [name withheld],

We are rejecting your application to "just come and make a mess" in the gallery on the grounds that there is already enough shit that has been presented as art.

Warm wishes,
MGU

Grandiose stroke theory

Dear [name withheld],

We at MGU are reeling after your application to exhibit with us. While the large expressionistic brushstrokes you mention do sound impressive, we feel only a much larger gallery could really do justice to what you call your 'grandiose stroke theory'.

Kind Regards,
MGU

Artist/Astronaut proposes gallery sent into space


Dear [name withheld],

We very much enjoyed your idea to send MGU to the moon! We found your diagrams and schematics very compelling, and with all your experience at NASA we are sure a rocket with a tow-bar will be an asset in space.

Talk soon,
MGU
