362: Art excursion

Today is my brother's 21st birthday. So first of all Happy Birthday Nick! We decided to take ourselves off to GoMA where the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (apt6) exhibition is on, and took a look around. It was well worth it, so if you've got any spare time these holidays head over, the bonus is it's free! 

This was part of a installation by a collaboration of artists that work under the acronym of YNG. An old combie van/hut decorated with Yoshitomo Nara's art and objects to create a sense of wonder and discovery, very cool. I loved the monkey in the passenger seat and the little rubber duck on the dash.

208: The Regent


I was kindly invited by my flatmate, Candice, to a preview screening of the movie "My Sister's Keeper" this evening. One of my favourite books I was super excited. It was located at The Regent cinema in the city, what a lovely old building. I'd never noticed this detailed and beautiful artwork on the ceilings before. The things you notice when you look above average eye level, and I've been doing a lot of that lately. The bus is a great place to start. You think you know your daily trip but look up and you see all these new things. Try it next week. 

I'm keeping my lips sealed about the movie. It's out now, so definitely go and check it out (and take your tissues)!

188: Luminous

I stopped to catch a little night light this evening outside GOMA (the Gallery of Modern Art - South Brisbane). Just driving home, I was drawn to this piece of luminous art like a mosquito is to a fluorescent light. I was stoked to capture this piece in one sharp, bright and clear photograph. Bring on tomorrow!
