Re: OT GESO - Biennale of Sydney Cockatoo Island

Quoting Derby Chang der...@iinet.net.au:


The Biennale has been on since July, but in one of those sad boo-boos,
I could only make it on the second last weekend of the shooo.
Rather good this year it was, too.
Feel free to make jokes about a cockatoo.

Enjoyable set - especially 02 and 05.  I've been trying to get to the  
Biennale for weeks but several events have conspired to thwart me -  
including a train derailment.  I'm going to give it one more try this  
week.



Cheers

Thanks Brian, and those who looked.

Definitely try to get there this last weekend. One thing I'll have to 
say about this year's curation. The theme is really subtle and bears 
taking time to contemplate. Some of my favourites were


http://bos18.com/artist?id=108 - Yoshihiro Suda. Blink and you'll miss 
it. His piece is not where it is indicated in the guide. It is sitting 
outside in a broken greenhouse, exposed to the elements, at the top of 
the cliff stairs as you come off the ferry. Must be giving the curators 
conniptions.


http://bos18.com/artist?id=73 - Ricardo Lanzarini. Somewhat NSFW, 
beautiful drawings. Had me grinning, so simple, and very site-specific. 
I still think drawing is the core of all visual arts.


http://bos18.com/artist?id=53 - Iris Häussler. Ask the young docents 
about the story behind this installation. Two parallel obsessives, on a 
lifelong pursuit. It's a heartbreaking story


http://bos18.com/artist?id=103 - Tiffany Singh. This one is a bit of a 
crowd pleaser, but it was oddly empty for most of the time I spent in 
there (other than the fuzzy-top girl in 16). Bruce, yes, you'd think it 
was noisy, and it was a windy day. Actually it very relaxing and melodic.

Agree with Frank. And that very last shot is really intriguing too.
Did you need earplugs in there? :-)

Bloke takes his cockatoo to the vet. Vet says There's good news and there's
bad news. The bad news is, you're cockatoo's got chirpees*. The good news
is, it's tweetable.
