Test post for Bachelor of Creative Practice

If I write some rubbish in here but this is going to be the first post of several for Assessment 4

In this post I'm going to talk about an exhibition I saw of work by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring at the NGV, Melbourne.

We went to the Ian Potter Centre of the National Gallery of Victoria this morning, and I liked the exhibition "10 ways to remember the past". One of the artists was Brook Andrew who printed anonymous Aboriginal faces onto metallic cloth in dark grey, making subtle comments about anthropology, White settlement and racism... quite beautiful.




















The centre itself is quite striking: all strange geometric panels and pierced steel sheets. I like it but it looks quite mad across the street from a bizarre but imposing former theatre which has an odd combination of Art Nouveau(-ish) and Moroccan architecture!
