Le Chien Qui Fume
This project aims to occupy a position somewhere between visual art (maximalism) and historical, albeit fictional, biography. It also provides an opportunity to deconstruct the nature of painting, not by isolating the elements and the performative dimension of the medium (as is the case with some current practice) but by using it as a source of pseudo-documentation and parody.
Michael Vale teaches in the painting departments at Monash and RMIT. He has exhibited widely as a visual artist and has also worked as a set designer, scenic artist and TV writer. He is close to completing a PhD about smoking dogs.
Supported by the Faculty of Art & Design, Monash University
