Catch up and file it time. Day two in Brizvegas got off to an early start at the Fortitude Valley Pool with fellow lap-nuts The Debster and Blanchie…
…followed by a fabulous brekky down at the incredible James St Market (which, dead set, the Gang would almost be prepared to move north for) and then, after a morning of lusting after all manner of exotic comestibles (none of which we could possibly take back on the plane), it was back to artisan for a floortalk at midday.
After which we were free at last to finally take in the APT (we’d completely run out of time during the previous installation trip)…

Anyhoo, we had a lovely ramble around GOMA and then emerged just in time to join Debster and Co. aboard the City Cat. From there on in it was a matter of ‘home James and don’t spare the horsepower’; drinkies, dinner and bed.
Meanwhile, there’s a visual survey of the day here.

Both shows look great.
Gee the APT at GoMA is hot
Yeah – though I didn’t find it quite as innovative and exciting as I expected to. (Seems that stickers are the new rage in art!!) Especially after Optimism, which really blew me away. Hard act to follow, of course. The most exciting thing I saw in Brisvegas was actually a video/performance/installation piece by one of the installation crew at artisan (who also installs at GOMA.) He (Matt – have misplaced his card…) showed it to me on his i-phone. Am desperate to get it down to Bega – I loved it, big time. n(Ed)
