On my walk to get the papers this morning, I saw this fresh piece under the train tracks at South Bank. It appears to have been done in crayons which is an interesting choice.

the biennale of sydney on cockatoo island
We were lucky enough to visit the Biennale of Sydney on Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour yesterday.
The island was amazing. Neither of us had been there before so it was a real treat for us both. The art installations were great and so were the buildings; some looked like they had just been abadoned.

street art in kl
It was our last full day in KL today, so we took the super quick light rail to Chinatown. When we got off the train at Pasar Seni station I was surprised to see lots of great street art, mostly stencil based.

fascade by christopher langton in burnett lane, brisbane
I still can’t get over how cool this is. If you’re in Brisbane check it out. I recommend dusk and start walking down Burnett Lane from the Albert street. Unreal.
inhabit brisbane: street art goodness
I was walking down Burnett Lane in Brisbane city this afternoon when I saw a massive head floating in the sky. I stopped to read the nearby sign and find out it’s an art installation by Christopher Langton for the Inhabit Program which is part of the Brisbane Festival.
I quickly googled the Inhabit program when I got home and realised that there is heaps of stuff going on in Brisbane city over the next three weeks, disappointingly a lot of it is on when I’m overseas.
Here’s a summary:

my china doll
We were walking home along Melbourne St in South Brisbane the other night when Kitty spotted some cool photos in the windows of the building (Raw space galleries) just West of the Fox Hotel. They were amazing so I googled them today.
The collection of self portraits is called My China doll by Beijing photographer Qui Zhen. There’s some more background information and the original images here. But if you’re in Brisbane then walk past and have a look, because, like most photos, they’re better in real life.
where on earth is wally (waldo)?
It’s a modern day version of where’s wally and it involves a huge amount of painted vinyl, some friends with time to spare, a fifty foot long flat rooftop, and google earth. Somewhere in Vancouver, Canada, Waldo lies waiting for google’s satellites to take a snapshot of him. Only then will someone be able to know his exact location.
