Favourite Photographer from Sydney Biennale

Miroslav Tichy - an eccentric photographer who used primitive home made cameras to create beautiful etherial images.  

Sydney Biennale 2008

Spent 4 days in Sydney at the biennale.
The theme was 'revolution'- which allowed for a great deal of interesting interpretation.
There were some favourites.
In particular we enjoyed the Cockatoo Island venue.
Not only was the art work interesting, the venue was stunning.
An old industrial site which has been made over for public use.
We took 450 photos between us - we initially intended to be there for one day. But we returned the next day too.

endlessly fascinating animation

Have been enjoying looking at work at

in particular the videos

What an amazing opus!

Art Deco at the NGV

Had to go and see this Art Deco at the NGV, and the kimonos at the Immigration museum.

Sheer nostalgia and elegance - both

Watercolour class

We went to the CAE and completed a one day waterclour class with Greg Alexander.

He had beautiful examples of his work.

We learned how to do some washes and how to build up a scene.

After one day we were pretty pleased with our efforts. A great teacher.

His work is at http://www.gregory-alexander.com/

Here are my attempts

sketching at the NGV

Spent some time at the NGV at the Otto Dix exhibition and the Latin American exhibition.

Every time I do this I see an improvement.

Rick Amor

Went to the Rick Amor exhibition. Interesting to see a range of works from various periods of his artistic life.
