I adored The Shilo Project exhibition at The Ian Potter Museum of Art in Melbourne. One hundred different artists created their own version of the record cover of Neil Diamond’s Shilo (1970). Being that the original record cover is merely a ‘connect-the-dots’ image of Diamond’s face - it left the artists with lots of room to be creative in re-working it. I loved every single rendition of the cover (and I’m not even a Diamond fan!) WATCH this awesome video on the project here: http://www.abc.net.au/arts/stories/s2742418.htm
