Distance and Freedom: 17th Biennale of Sydney


The 17th Biennale of Sydney came to a close this weekend. I had the chance to fly up to Sydney for the day and experience a world-class art exhibit. Cockatoo Island is the major venue and host to 120 works by 56 international artists. Highlights from the exhibit include China’s Cai Guo-Qiang art installation of nine cars suspended in mid-air with pulsing rod of light and explosion; and Hiroshi Sugimoto’s perilously exhibited 8×10″ large format photography work, ‘Faraday Cage’, at the Power House.

In Melbourne today- rain, rain, and more rain. But the weekend is just around the corner and the weather forecast calls for plenty of sunshine… So If you haven’t already penciled yourself in for the weekend and you’re looking for something do to- here’s my suggestion for Saturday/Sunday. Visit the Rose Street Artists Market in Fitzroy and make sure you check out Greg’s concession- he designs jewelery with materials used from cutlery, forks and tea spoons.
