Boyle, Ohnishi and Clement discussing the impact Greg Curnoe had on their lives. All this was prompted by Boyle asking about the Curnoe painting, visible behind Clement. All these years following his tragic death in 1992, Greg Curnoe was still very much in the room with us, from the art he left behind. A founding member of the Nihilist Spasm Band, and from all accounts, one of the driving forces behind the band in its early years.
