My mom, an exhibition...and a trade me fib!

This Wednesday my mothers solo exhibition 'Pretty, as a Picture' will open at Sophie Canon Gallery. Yep real proud... might even be bragging a bit.
Anyway you should pop along if your in town - Melbourne town. It'll be sweet. She's even managed to get the gallery to take this down.... So booze will be on the list. I think the turn out will be alright however, seems New Zealanders know who she is. I just found this listing on Trade Me...
 'Sarah Smuts Kennedy Candelabra'...what a total fib!

A comment on life, death, beauty and decay

'Mr Potato Face!' - The concept takes on a whole new meaning in Ginou Choueiri's latest art instillation. Rather than use canvas, Choueiri has chosen to depict hundreds of portraits on none other than the humble potato!











'I chose the potato to portray human faces because of the many striking parallels. Not only is their skin porous like ours, but their skin texture and color is very similar... Potatoes grow, live, and then decay, mirroring the ephemeral existence and fragility of our own human nature.'

Wow and I just thought they were tasty to eat!

Miranda July...

There are some people who are just so damn talented you can't help but watch them in awe. They're not good at one thing, but five and not only produce great work, but get worthy recognition too!!!

Miranda July is such a girl. In 2005 she wrote, directed and starred in her first feature film Me and You and Everyone We Know, she won the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award for her collection of short stories, and in July 2002 created the participatory website, learningtoloveyoumore.com with artist Harrell Fletcher.

Last year she also produced an installation work 'The Hallway.' This features a series of thoughts which are displayed down a 125 foot hallway and feature English one way, Japanese the other.

Strangely compelling, thought provoking and utterly random ..Miranda July, I think I heart you!!!

Tribal warfare

NEONSLEEPS 3RD bday party was rad last night. For those who came early to enjoy some punch and pick up a Mag- Thanks!!
Anyway, there were castles, warriors, owls, 'intelligent survivors of the recession', inspired tribal futuristic Indians ( thanks Courtney) and gangsta/rocker/hipster rappers.
It was awesome!
