WHAT HAPPENS WHEN

What happens when a three year has a father who is a photographer... A mother who takes lots of photos... A mother who blogs, and is given a camera from his Mum?

Well that is obvious, this three years old starts his own photography website.

A BREAK UP LETTER

Dear Ovaries,

I think we need to break up. For all too long this relationship has not been working out for me.

Once a month you have me writhing in pain. In agony, that even on days stops me getting out of bed. You have me inhaling chocolate at an alarming rate. Because of the hormones you produce I cry over nothing. Plus you make my tummy swell to the proportions of a second trimester pregnant lady.

You also fail to give me the thing I want. More children.

While I do appreciate, more than words could ever express, how eternally grateful I am for the two children you did allow me to grow, I do think it is time for this relationship to end.

Love me

TOURIST TUESDAY: BRISBANE, GOMA

People in Brisbane, especially with children on school holidays, if you have not done so already I very much recommend a trip to GOMA to see The Obliteration room by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.

This is not the first time this exhibition has been here. The obliteration room revisits the popular interactive children’s project developed by Kusama for the Queensland Art Gallery’s fourth Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art in 2002. And was shown again in 2011-2012.

QAG website describes the exhibition as following:

When leading contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama was a young girl, she started seeing the world through a screen of tiny dots. They covered everything she saw – the walls, ceilings, and even her own body. In her artwork, Kusama has used dots to cover many different surfaces and fill rooms. She calls this process ‘obliteration’, which means the complete destruction of every trace of something.

Children are invited to enter the world of the artist and ‘obliterate’ an Australian domestic space by adding colourful dot stickers to the white furniture, objects and surfaces in the large-scale interactive installation The obliteration room.

Jarvis describes the exhibition as: Weird art. I like. Stickers, and colours, alllll over the place.

The Queensland Gallery of Modern Art is an art museum located in the South Bank precinct of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The gallery is part of the Queensland Cultural Centre. Stanley Place, South Brisbane QLD 4101
