Art Around the House: Steven Morgana

Aporia is an unsigned Steven Morgana I bought in a 30 x 30 exhibition at art school that now hangs in the hall. The exhibition was a fundraising exercise for the graduation show. The students get a piece of wood and have to make something in a week then flog it off for as much as possible.

The fixing was part of the purchase and holds the 30x30 panel well away from the wall. Sometimes people walk past and try to 'correct' this by pushing the panel up the hook, only to have it slide down to it's real resting place. 

I like this about it. I also like the blackish thumb mark half way up the right side of the panel. I have no idea if this is the mark of the hand of the maker or some art-school-exhibition man-handling. It doesn't matter. The whole thing is an oddly perfect embodiment of a "30 x 30" piece.

Art Around the House: Emma McPike

We got this (unsigned) print last year after it was in the Staff Room show at the Moores Building. I saw Emma putting parts of it together and I knew it would be epic. Scott fell for it as soon as he saw it and now it lives in our lounge room. Anytime I get close to thinking I know all about it the whole thing turns into a mystery again.

fucking unreal

If You Liked it then You Should Have Put A Bird On It

Earlier this year, I saw Lisa and Bryce put birds on things, from Portlandia:

I am getting ready for an upcoming trip and as part of ritual preparations, I find myself with a plain suitcase and the dilemma of distinguishing it from other suitcases without causing any sort of alarm. (Previously prepared suitcases sport motifs of white upright tall buildings and trees). This time I act on Lisa and Bryce's twee recommendation:

"Now there's a bird! It's flying! It's free!"
