re-visiting Viola

May 18, 2009Cheryl1 Commentbackground, blogart, bill viola, exhibitions, melbourne, ngv, ocean without a shore

We were in at the NGV yesterday, and popped in to see Bill Viola’s ‘Ocean without a shore’ installation again… it was still lovely. I really like that it’s not in the contemporary art section, but that you have to walk through the Greek and Egyptian antiquities section… Craig responded to my last post about…

November 17, 2008Cheryl1 Commentblogart, exhibitions, women in the torah

i’ve been invited to be part of steering group for an exhibition on Women in the Torah, to be held at the Jewish Museum late next year. I’m really enjoying being part of a conversation with people from another faith, in an environment where i’m the guest, not the host; where mine is the minority…

the pre-holiday wrap

October 31, 2008Cheryl1 Commentblogart, exhibitions, melbourne

so many things i’ve been meaning to write about… it’s finished now, but Ecstatic City at the ngv was simply superb. Due to the water crisis in melbourne the fountains in the moat at the front of the gallery have been switched off, so Chris Doyle made a fountain by projecting images of melbourne people…

A friend just gave me Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu’s cd, Gurrumul, which I’m really enjoying. He’s part of the lineup for the Melbourne Arts Festival which begins this week. I won’t get to hear him but I am going to see Batsheva perform Three on Saturday night – I saw them a few years ago at…

desert spaces at brunswick uca

February 21, 2008Cherylblogart, brunswick uca, church, cityside, exhibitions

I was out at Brunswick UCA yesterday and Ray showed me the art / meditations that have been slowly building as part of the church’s engagement with Lent. It’s based around an idea that he took from Cityside’s Desert Files and reworked for the local situation – each week of Lent is given a theme…

just spent a couple of hours at the guggenheim exhibition at the ngv. it was wonderful. [though if you’re going it might be worth waiting a couple of weeks until the crowds die down… i’ll go again when it feels a little less like the Louvre on a Sunday]. on my way back i walked…

songs of silence

June 16, 2007Cheryl3 Commentsblog, eventsart, blythe toll, exhibitions, silence, stations, wisdom's feast

Blythe found this article about songs of silence in reference to this post. i’m searching them out now… I’ve done a post-apocalyptic swf to use on Monday in the workshop. i’m looking for some music to make the silence… just having no noise doesn’t make a silence… Blythe currently has an exhibition of her work…

i follow the religion of love

August 24, 2006Cherylblogbill viola, exhibitions, greenbelt, UK 2006, UK trip

i spent yesterday morning at part of Bill Viola’s current exhibition… i was mesmerised by the video of the woman walking towards camera from far off in the horizon until all you can see is the fabric of her black robes … I also loved his sketches with poetry. jonny has written about this much…

there is only one choice, love or fear

May 17, 2006Cheryl2 Commentsblog, installations & spacesart, exhibitions, melbourne

i just went down to take a longer look at the Crisis, Catharsis and Contemplation exhibition in St Patrick’s Cathedral. I wrote about this a couple of days ago (i’ve temporarily lost the ability to link to other posts – sorry!). The exhibition was to travel to Sydney next week, to be shown in St…
