On Sunday my brother Richard took me to Brisbane where we stayed with friends on The River, visited the boutique hotel LIMES in the Valley for cocktails with friends, went to the Old Museum to listen to and see Beth Orton sing some serious tunes, woke to an indulgent breakfast of smoked salmon on rye at Southbank and finished off the stint with a trip to the Gallery of Modern Art to see Matisse, Yayoi Kusama and works by Dinosaur Designs to celebrate its fifth year. For some reason I took more photos of Yayoi’s interactive installations so have had to go to the site and download images for Matisse and Dinosaur Designs. Each artist more than engaged the viewer, with colour, space and light, leaving room for inspiration and reflection on what ever level you were prepared to recieve. If you’re in Australia I highly recomment you make the time. If you’re abroard…….it doesnt matter what the decade, just create and engage. tx
