Say and I went to the GOMA christmas markets today then wandered through both the GOMA and the old gallery. I don't know why I don't go more often. It makes me feel so at home and inspired.
The first exciting thing we saw was the Warhol exhibition being set up!
I do love Warhol, he wouldn't come in my top 5, or probably even top 10 artists but he's just so influential and fun. He makes me think about how fun art can be.
There was a beautiful interactive work by an Asian artist inviting viewers to write private and public letters in three different booths and either put addresses on the them for them to be posted or leave them on the walls of the booth for others to read.
We then wandered over to the old gallery and I do believe I squealed when I saw they had 5 Brett Whiteley paintings. Definitely one of my favourites, his work may be a bit depressing but its so expressive and honest. I love it so much.
Of course we also had to play with Yayoi Kasuma's balls.
And then another reason to sqeaul . . .
After the modern art we wandered through the more historic sections or as one lady we passed put it "This is REAL art." (I want to grab those people and shake them. Or introduce them to Jondi . . . )
