Spewing Essays

That's what I feel like I'm doing at the moment, spewing essays.

November 9 2009

Twenty years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Apparently Berlin has been celebrating all year. The latest performance which took a couple of days to act out featured two giant marionettes reuniting in Berlin after been separated for years by the wall. Beautiful? Yes.

Little People

I don't know what it is, maybe it's the fact that they are so gosh darn little and are placed in such big cities that I start rooting for the underdog, or maybe it's the grand understated-ness of the whole concept, but I love these 'Little People'.

There's a certain genius to the way the photos are set out on the Slinkachu blog as well. The extreme close ups and then varying perspective shots take me on a bit of a journey (did I just use the word journey??? Next I'll be talking about vibes). For serious though, I can't help but think they are real when I look at the close ups.

Yayoi Kusama

To celebrate it's reopening, Wellington City Gallery has been engulfed by the hallucinatory work of Yayoi Kusama.

The exhibition will be running until February, so I have enough time to make my pilgrimage to view the embodiment of her visual fantasies in person.
