Printmaking exhibition
I’m looking forward to heading down to Fitzroy on Friday 26th February to the exhibition opening which my Mum is a part of. It’s at the Brunswick Street Gallery and the exhibition runs from 26th Feb-11th March.
Linden has some beautiful, detailed prints from her MFA exhibition. Printmaking is such an incredible art which must take so much patience and skill. I love the earthiness of prints, they make me feel real & alive in a time when so much is digitised and hidden on a computer hard drive.
No commentsFriends in Adelaide Fringe Festival
This year there are some especially great performances to check out in the festival. Each show reflects a contemporary edge which I am a huge advocate of. They re-work traditional texts to create original work, or don’t even use text, and cross boundaries to surprise the audience.
La Petite Mort – The Orgasm
La Petite Mort – The Orgasm is a raunchy cabaret romp through sex and sexuality.
“A truly original, delightful, accomplished show, another of the shows that remind you why you love the Fringe so much.” The Scotsman.
A group of actors stage Hamlet the night the world ends. As the reality of the situation sets in, the play, the characters and the actors break down to the simplest of human states as they attempt to reconcile their lives in the face of a dying world.
I’ve crossed paths or worked with artists from each of these shows and have so much respect for the incredible art they’ve created. Keep going my friends.
