Larger than life

Saturday was the day that I finally visited the Ron Mueck exhibition at Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art. His sculptures are truly amazing and his attention to detail is astounding - make sure you have a look before the exhibition closes on the 1 August.

APT6 {part 1}

Today I spend the morning wandering through GOMA checking out the latest exhibition, the 6th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT6 for short). It was great to see all the amazing artworks together within such a wonderful space (I love the GOMA building!). Since there was a lot to see, I'll have a few entries to cover all the great bits!

First up, my absolute favourite contemporary artist, Yoshitomo Nara. I'm a little obsessed with him actually, with numerous prints and postcards of his gracing the walls and shelves of my home. Below are images of a collaboration (YNG) of Nara with Japanese design group, Graf - Y.N.G.'s mobile studio. I really really wanted to get inside the van and drive away with it, up the coast, through the mountains, into the countryside...just me, the artworks and stuffed animals!

Stay tuned for more APT6 action!

GOMA visit

This post is a little late, but last wednesday I finally ventured in to see the current Floating Life (contemporary Aboriginal fibre art) and Easton Pearson (exhibition of the Brisbane-based fashion house) exhibits at GOMA, South Bank. Pretty slack of since they've been on for a little while! Both exhibits were great and well worth a look-see. Here's a sneek peek for those who haven't been yet.
