25.01.2022 2020 what a strange year! Bring on 2021!! #LezGetIt
25.01.2022 The inner-west has a new Scott Marsh mural. What do you reckon? The mural on the wall of the Botany View Hotel references a quote from CNN anchor Anderson Coo...per, spoken after President Donald Trump alleged voter fraud in the US election: "That is the President of the United States. That is the most powerful person in the world and we see him like an obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun, realising his time is over." Scott Marsh
24.01.2022 REPOST: @balaluke Our sacred sites soullessly sacrificed while ... Mega Mining moguls mindlessly amass minerals for money. Leaving mob and communities living in 3rd world situations! It’s time to get what’s ours, you call them hand outs, we call them reparations. You’re not gentrifying neighbourhoods, You gentrified this nation! Shrug at 800 year old trees Blow off 10,000 year old Caves But sook and cry for a 130 year old statues, Care more about your man made structures over our natural sites, White Australia, that right there is the bloody issue? You can rebuild that building, You can repair that structure, But you can’t reverse the damage that you have done to our mother! My thoughts are with the DJAB WURRUNG peoples who have lost sacred parts of culture to the hands of this system. When all they see are dollar signs, empathy very rarely crosses their minds. Profit is purpose, money is their culture, currency is their god, their ancestors and their spiritual advisors! They follow the coin who leads them astray and it’s their fellow human that they chose to betray. #Aboriginal #TorresStraitIslander #Indigenous #firstnations #indigenousrights #IndigenousLivesMatter #Stopblackdeathsincustody #protestphotography #AboriginalRights #indigenousphotography #blackbeauty #ancestors #culture #Strength #protest #power #passion #SurvivalDay #IndigenousAustralian #reconciliation #Australia #AboriginalFlag #alwayswasalwayswillbe #AboriginalLand #ABCmyphoto #BLM #BlacklivesMatters #ThroughBlackEyes #melaninmagic #auspol

22.01.2022 ‘The artist & the vandal’ my 2016 self portrait discribing my relationship between my graffiti persona and art persona at the time. It was part of a series of self portraits (the others painted as murals). This painting was part of my 2016 exhibition ‘Australian Graffiti’ held guerrilla style on a moving Sydney train, still my most enjoyable & stressful exhibition to date. https://vimeo.com/173289847... I recently moved studios & re discovered this work in storage, its available at www.scottmarsh.com.au #selfportrait #australiangraffiti #vandal #artists

12.01.2022 Stolen generation continues $500k of your tax dollars a year to steal a kid and lock them up in a hotel room. Trauma that will have implications for the rest of their lives Imagine if u supported families to the tune of 1/10 of that. WTF are we doing?... 8:30pm Monday SBS/NITV

08.01.2022 I created this work for Out of the darkness: A survivor’s journey A really important group show curated by Robert House @drarthouse about institutional child sex abuse in Australia . Unfortunately the Gallery Art Gallery of Ballarat chose not to exhibit this and other controversial works. The good news is @drarthouse has found another space in Ballarat to exhibit the redacted works for one night only, 6pm July 3rd at Fear 59 Bridge street mall Ballarat central. I went d...own some dark wormholes in researching for this work. If the true graphic and sadistic accounts of institutional child sex abuse in this country were put in the mainstream media, people would be burning churches to the ground. Each figure represents a story from my research. Ill post some of these stories at a later date with a big trigger warning. But for now try & make it to this opening and/or visit the Art gallery if Ballarat Out of the darkness: a survivor’s story. #institutionalchildsexabuse #georgepell #pay4play #ballarat #victoria #thesalvationarmy #catholicchurch #redacted See more

01.01.2022 The rise and fall of Saint George is back on for the Sydney Festival! musical? stage show? Im not sure what the correct term is for it but is fucking awesome:) Visit link for tickets!... https://www.sydneyfestival.org.au/ev/rise-fall-saint-george PAUL MAC & LACHLAN PHILPOTT | PERFORMING LINES Following the death of queer icon George Michael, Paul Mac and Jonny Seymour commissioned a mural by artist Scott Marsh on the exterior of their home. Draped in a rainbow stole with a spliff in hand and a sacrosanct bottle of poppers in the other, Saint George’s eyes watched over the suburb and he winked at commuters through the windows of passing trains. He became a landmark, a local shrine, and was adored by all. But the vivid life of Newtown’s patron saint of queer communion was cut short. Hours after the nation said 'YES' to the postal plebiscite on Marriage Equality, the mural was destroyed by a group of young men who claimed it violated their Christian faith. Leading queer artists, pop icon Paul Mac and playwright Lachlan Philpott, have collaborated to create an immersive and highly personal music experience that is a unique reminder of a tough chapter of our history that shouldn’t be forgotten. Directed by Kate Champion, Mac communes on stage with this city’s finest singers. With the backing of a giant choir, this is a work of resilience and hope. A love letter to Sydney’s fluid queer audacity, The Rise and Fall of Saint George connects us to a shared need to be a part of a community, explores finding solidarity in bleak times. It is an urgent call to arms to not let hard-won rights and freedoms be taken for granted.
