The big highlight for us was a visit to the Fred Williams exhibition at the National Gallery but as photography is not allowed in the gallery I can't show photos of that.
The tiny camera's tiny battery ran out so I went back to my reading. The note with the sculpture says "This bronze and copper sculpture contrasts a series of small human forms with the architectural weight of on oversize staircase. The artwork has a philosophical aspect by reflecting on the effect of reading on the spirit - 'the more I read the smaller I feel'." Crikey, I dunno about you but if reading made me feel like that I'd stop.
Love it! We're off to Canberra again soon, your post and photos have put another place to visit on my list :D)
ReplyDeleteDid they tell you thank at the desk? At the AG-NSW there are sections where it IS allowed. I always ask each time. I am going there again tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Fred Williams!
ReplyDeleteWhat was the exhibition like?
Any good?
There is a sign on the door outside. I was looking for signage about cameras and didn't see it. When inside I was snapping away and got pulled into line by the attendant. So I actually did get one snap in the exhibition but dared not publish it ... I was told to delete it!!
ReplyDeleteIf you like Williams the exhibition is worth it, a good round up of his work not too big and not too small.
I'm with you Letty I LOVE Fred Williams.
