Betsy stayed home this weekend, while I went to Brisbane for the 5th Asia-Pacific Triennial. It was freaking awesome. As you can tell, I don't have appropriate words to describe exactly how fabulous it is. At the opening on Friday night, Talvin Singh played while we wandered around in the art sipping champagne, or doing wood carving rubbings in Stereotyped Thailand.
On Saturday night, Cornelius played, but I was a bit exhausted after going to other shows my friend had opening that afternoon. On Sunday there was an Indigenous Music festival, with hiphop in the botanical gardens, and I missed most of that too when I saw Apichatpong's film.
Yesterday we caught up on the beautiful works we haden't seen yet, like Bharti Kher's sculpture (my Mum and I just want to lie down and put our arms round it), and Yuken Teuya's Notice -Forest.
GO AND SEE THIS EXHIBITION!!!

Saw your post in SGAU. I couldn't wait to go - especially since it is the first exhibition to be held in the GoMA.
Well worth the trip. I'm yet to miss an APT and will be going back at least another 2 times before it packs up and moves on.
Just wanted to pop my head in and say hi - and that I'm glad you enjoyed it!
