Vivienne Binns: Art and Life at LUMA

So the exhibition is up and running on its own now.  The opening went well - even though I had public speaking thrust upon me...and that was okay in the end.  I've given a couple of curator's talks and the catalogue is well received.  Now time to relax a little, or focus upon other things.  I'm really happy with it.
Here are a couple of photos from the opening, both taken by my friend, Brian Pieper.

In terms of my own art, I'm currently working on three projects - my book for the Inventory of Al-Mutanabbi Street, my edition for Book Art Object, working with the title A girl waiting and a project about cats from Art History - working title A Taxonomy of (Art) Cats.  Very soon I plan (Promise?) to post some images of proofs of something here!!

Vivienne Binns - Art and Life

It's been a VERY long time since I posted here...mainly because I've been focussing upon deadlines - in particular, an exhibition of Vivienne Binns' work I've curated at the LaTrobe University Museum of Art.

It's about the way in which aspects of Binns' personal life - her family, friends, relationships and exploration of self - have frequently been  the subject of her art, or influenced the direction of her research.   

 It's coming together and looking fabulous- opening next Tuesday night. I will be giving a curator's talk on Wedneday 11th July.
