a trip to the city.. ART gallERiES
yep...finally decided i should go gallery visiting. well it was vcd hw after all and i could do with some adventure in the city away from home. Meet at glenny station with grace (the art critic), monica (the tour guide), william (angel's friend) and me (comic book kid). grr... yan, zac and david you were all meant ta come =P
took bus and then arrived really quickly in city. first stop NGV [national gallery of victoria]. great stuff.. and best of all FREE =] waoh!! that trail walk and "the altered land" gallery with aussie artists was amongst the best! that oil on canvas is just amazing. everything looked so real! 3D almost.. better than a photograph.
then it we saw martin grant's work. woah.. fashion design those coats were awesome. but what i liked best would be his concept work and idea exploration when he was only at the age of 4. woah.. he kept all his kindergarden drawings intact...that's skill and talent. all the garments where suspended in mid air!! everything looked as if it was floating/hoving..that was the best bit ahaha.
then stopped at acmi.. thank goodness for the tour guide monica hahaha.. we would have been so lost otherwise. went to the world's largest screen gallery and this time they were showing stanley kubrick's work.. woah..there is so much work needed to be done behind every movie. hmmm.. i found his film "A clockwork orange" rather disturbing ..what was with those mental teenages and naked women *shudders* Watched bits of looks of other films and the props where all displayed. haha.. gorilla man. looked so real.. would have hated to wear that heavy ugly mask ..
took tram and went to acca and saw barbara kruger's work. hmm.. lots of words written all over the walls and quite interesting messages behind it all. e.g "you see it, you buy it, you forget it" i think those were the exact words *shrugs*. then went to another ngv place and saw the "british art and the sixties" exhibition. the work there was quite interesting. there was this massive sculpture of bubbles, air being pumped through lots of detergent i'm guessing. it was meant to create the illusion of the ever changing clouds ..yer i guess it worked. but it looked more like ice cream or gelati to me =]
bummed around city for a bit.. went to jb sometime during all this.. bought lantana.. blah.. it better be good if we are goina study it for english.. and WAH! best discovery.. "COMICS R US" hhaha.. lots and lots of xmen comics to choose from.. wahh. the figurines where worth quite a bit $140+ >.<.. gotta go back there next time after the chinese new year red packets come in.. hahaha.
righto.. legs are really tired from all that walking.. laterz
