Apologies - I got the time of the "Birds, Beasts and Blossoms" opening wrong in my previous post (now corrected). The opening starts at 2pm.
"Birds,
Beasts and Blossoms" - more than a dozen artists from the Ballarat
region, works addressing this theme. They range from hyper-realistic to
abstract (mine is at the abstract end, not surprisingly).
UPDATE: Opening event: Saturday 2nd August 2014, 2-4 pm.
Exhibition dates: 1-3 and 7-10 August (Thurs - Sun), 12-4pm.
Backspace Gallery
is at the rear of the Art Gallery of Ballarat in Huyghue House. It can
be reached from Lydiard Street by walking down Police Lane at the side
of the Art Gallery of Ballarat, or from Camp Street (between Sturt and
Mair Streets).

"Birds, Beasts and Blossoms" at Ballarat
UPDATE: I previously had the wrong time for the opening. It is from 2 to 4pm.
I have work in a group show "Birds, Beasts and Blossoms" in Backspace Gallery in Ballarat. I have called my creatures "Colonial Organisms". They are highly abstracted, more blossoms than beasts, generated from random "DNA" with symmetry operations applied.

Transfield withdraws from Biennale of Sydney
I have just seen the news that Transfield have withdrawn as the major
partners of the Biennale of Sydney and that Luca Belgiorno-Nettis of
Transfield has resigned from the Board of the Biennale. This has
happened because Transfield has been involved with offshore detention
centres and has recently won a contract worth over $1 billion to operate
the detention centre on Manus Island. A number of artists involved
with the Biennale were planning to withdraw from it because of this
issue.
I was just having an email conversation touching on the influence of big donors on the boards of museums and public galleries. The Biennale Board have had the courage not to let the piper call the tune on this occasion. It is sad because the Belgiorno-Nettis family have supported the Biennale very generously since its inception, but this time it is impossible to ignore the source of the money. Tobacco sponsorship of sport and art has long been unacceptable in Australia, so the principle of looking at where the money originates is not new.

Melbourne White Night 2014
Melbourne put on a great party on Saturday night/ Sunday morning. Half a million people flooded into the CBD, and everybody seemed to be having a good time - including me! Projections were a dominant theme in what I saw, but it was impossible to see everything.
It was quite extraordinary to see a large queue of people waiting outside the State Library at midnight to get in to see this. This was the only thing I queued for, but there were substantial queues for some of the other venues too. Since I was there I also took in the exhibition of Piranesi prints.
Not long after this I went off to bed. The party continued until 7 am.

Looking up at the dome of the reading room, or just flaked out?
