NU-CA is a title that encompasses "a network of uncollectable artists" and their characteristically unobtainable, poorly documented, large scale and sometimes illegal works. Ironically, I found their site seconds after having googled "sydney collaborative artists".
The website is something of a directory listing collaborative artists around Australia; their respective blog sites, dissertaions, discussions and the cultural events within which they are involved (radio shows, etc).
Unfortunately, as I trawled through the various links, I noticed the website seems to have been inactive for about two years :( I don't know whether this means they are no longer operating .. or they just don't update their blog.
Solidifying the group's status as a collaboration rather than mere directory, in 2004 at the Next Wave Festival in Melbourne, the group launched a series of collector cards (see the one featured above; , featuring the uncollectable NU-CA artists themselves :).
