This is an exhibition about how the slide show developed in China. In this exhibition hall, the use of slides to learn Western art history is reproduced. The whole exhibition hall is dark, only the screen is lit, which can let the visitors feel more immersed in the exhibition.

Close up of the essay - bravely the curators had written it, and then opened it up for the artists involved to contribute with margin notes

Also, install for the Asia Pacific Triennial. Cool to see a work in progress and all the preparation that goes into having a space exhibition ready.

Decolonising Architecture Art Residency at GOMA. I thought the little shelf running under the images worked really well to situate the viewer in the story as the work was sequential. It allowed for quick go-between of text and image. Somehow it was attached to the wall with no visible brackets, I guess it didn’t need to be super strong though because it wasn’t supporting work.

Decals on non-slip floor vinyl on plywood - pricey floor

Maybe a bit over-prescribed, or maybe just really solid??

I was racing through the NGA permanent collection when these display cases caught my eye..

Nice, neat, but super expensive. Where do you mount an overhead projector?

I suppose it does get your attention, but is it necessary?

Look closely and you'll see the mylar underneath this pile of pigment that is part of a Josef Beuys work in the NGA collection

Hossein Valamanesh at GAGPROJECTS. The 'FRAGILE' tape was utilised as slap dash way to protect this piece from the masses weaving through the Hotel Windsor.

I thought the lighting was interesting too especially for the bed artwork as it was not lit directly above, instead from the centre of the gallery and then the wall behind was lit up too which emphasised the shadows of the bed artwork.

I went to Counihan Gallery and saw an exhibition by Kristen Berg. The space was rather plain, dark floor and white walls. The gallery had a really interesting ceiling though! I asked the gallery manager if she knew why it had been designed like that, she did not, just that it was original to when the gallery space was first designed.

It worked really well for some of the taller pieces because it highlighted their height and almost elongated them further.

Well, more accurately, the gorgeous floor above it. Gallery has been inserted into an older building - really well done

Go and see this show - it's a great example of a curator examining how a theoretical concept manifests in different ways. Think about how it's been installed...

Held in the body, flung through the air, or drawn from the soil. What if art is action made solid?
From throwing liquid bronze to whistling for three days straight, the TarraWarra Biennial 2018: From Will to Form considers how the wild, intangible forces that animate behaviour might be present within an artwork.

For the sixth TarraWarra Biennial, 23 artists and one artist group from across Australia will present anarchic and persistent energies in a range of sculpture, painting, performance and film works. For some artists, will is drawn from a relationship to country and earth, while for others it is channeled through the psyche. Other artists highlight the role of the body as either a conduit for, or a concealer of, wilful forces.

The Biennial includes 19 new commissions, performance events and works that refigure the spaces of TarraWarra Museum of Art itself, including Bidjara, Ghangalu and Garingbal artist Dale Harding's site-specific 30m-long painting on the renowned Vista Walk wall as well as new works from Vicki Couzens, Claire Lambe, Michelle Ussher, Mike Parr and Rob McLeish among many others.

Established in 2006 as a platform for identifying new contemporary and cutting-edge work, the TarraWarra Biennial has become a major forum for artistic expression in Australia.

From Will to Form is accompanied by a range of performances, artist talks and a comprehensive catalogue, providing audiences with a variety of contemporary art experiences.

TarraWarra Biennial 2018: From Will to Form artists:

Belle Bassin (VIC); Vicki Couzens (VIC); Naomi Eller (VIC); Artists from Erub Arts (Torres Strait); Starlie Geikie (VIC); Agatha Gothe-Snape (NSW); Julie Gough (TAS); Dale Harding (QLD); Claire Lambe (VIC); Lindy Lee (NSW); Bridie Lunney (VIC); Rob McLeish (VIC); John Meade (VIC); Sanné Mestrom (VIC); Alison Murray (QLD); Michelle Nikou (SA); Kusum Normoyle (NSW); Mike Parr (NSW); Michael Snape (NSW); Hiromi Tango (NSW); Fairy Turner (WA); Michelle Ussher (NSW); Justine Varga (NSW); Isadora Vaughan (VIC).

At Mona...very nice canter levered bench. I wanted to crawl underneath to see if it was bracketed at all - but didn't

I went to Mona on the weekend to see their latest exhibition 'Zero'. Cool work. Cool shadows, but what to we think about white lines on the floor?
