That's an interesting idea.

Ignoring the legal side of things, since that's already finished and I'm not familiar with Aussie laws anyway.

The concept of a restricted space for an art experience that works for both the admitted and refused parties as a different experience is pretty damn intriguing. The execution of it in this case arguing after refusing admission to someone seems to defeat the purpose to a small degree, but that's nitpicking.

The core concept is, I think, something that should be expanded. Other locations, and other dichotomies. I don't know if it would pass legal muster here in the states, but I'd love to have a seat and watch how it played out in a busy place here.

Isn't that fundamentally the idea behind 'separate but equal', which has been pretty thoroughly smacked down in the US? It very quickly turned into (always was) separate and not equal.

Doing it in an ironic, performative way for art is one thing, but I'm not sure it's a great blueprint generally.
