NGV


I took Mara & Tia to the National Gallery of Victoria. We actually spent over 5 hours, and absolutely loved it! There is a photo show - 'Body Language' - from China (Zhang Huan & Chi Peng) that's really amazing; and also a totally petulant, whimsical series of contemporary video - 'Resonant Visions' by artists from latin america. One I loved - 'Returning a Sound' (by Jennifer Allora & Guillermo Calzadilla) was about this skinny chap in a singlet riding a moped through this small town, with a trumpet attached to his exhaust pipe! Oh what joy. Controlling your trumpet with a throttle!! Wynton Marsailis what do you say about that? And the reaction from the bystanders.... You have to go to this link to find out more about the show, and about our visit, the images below...




And check out these heels from Balenciaga.....
