She has also done collaborative work with Steenus von Steensen for the group photographic exhibition Fall of Night at Helen Maxwell Gallery as part of Vivid, Australia's first national photography festival, and with Margaret Goninon for the exhibition Retroactive III, at the Canberra Contemporary Art Space, Manuka.

Helen Vivian's book When you think about art: The Ewing and George Paton Gallery 1971-2006, was launched at a restaging of the 1974 Letter Show. Micky participated in this restaging. The book is a history of art in Melbourne as it developed at this galllery, where Micky first exhibited (1975) as well as had her first solo show in 1978 (Micky Allan. Photograhy, Drawing, Poetry: A Live-in Show). Hand-coloured photos from the Live-in Show installation is reproduced in the book.
Jenny McFarlane has written an article about Micky's work called 'An Irregular Order' which will appear in the November edition of Art Monthly.
Micky is represented in 'Contemporary Australian Photography and Photographers' by Associate Dean Research Anne Marsh, Monash University, Melbourne, scheduled for publication this year by Macmillan.
