[...] Robert Hollingworth, reviewing ‘New Thoughts on Luxury’ names Griffiths as one of the “contemporary artists who seem to disregard these rationalist modes of thought”, that is, the binary framework, defining something as one thing, or the other. Rather, Griffiths’ work is part of a pursuit which “might easily turn left or right, reconcile or complicate further” any semblance of the definitive “abstraction/representational” divide. [...]

Comment on Take Your Best Shot by C.Moore Hardy

From the one Image of 'Rachel', this looks like a truly fascinating exhibition. The tattoo on her thigh sets up a dialogue that can not be easily forgotten, but disturbingly, 'Rachel' has the fixed gaze of a shop dummy. I'm Looking forward to seeing this exhibition. cmh

Although very different from their classic "industrial" work of c. 80-86, this shows their fierce originality and fits in perfectly with the strangeness and range of the Tabula Rasa album. A great great band, as far as I know (I haven't heard anything after 2000's "Silence is Sexy.")

Comment on Foreign Exchange by ned ryan

Apropos foreign exchange, perhaps it might be worth someone's while to look into the cosy politics of that nice Aboriginal-art-loving Chinese billionaire's outright purchase of the entire Waringarri Aboriginal Arts exhibition in Shanghai:

Shouldn't think there'll be much left of 'Our Living Land' by the time the Chinese capitalist (now residing in Australia) follows this little sweetener with his company's Ord River water plot, in process of tender with WA govt...

Having attended the 2nd evening screening and hearing Warwick Thornton and Marcia Langton speaking. I was blown away by the content, beauty and humour in the films presented. Most interesting screening of works I hav seen in a while. Thanks to all.

Comment on Salon des Refuses by Jan Cleveringa

So what does it mean for those artists that don't even make it to the Salon? Poor bastards.

Is it just a case of who knows whose work and a lack of wall space?

Or is it crap or before its time- cutting edge?

Just another conundrum Andrew?

Here's just four more questions.

I'm more of a fan of Eliasson's light works but this looks great. Will have to get along and take a look. Thanks for posting!
