Wow factor art in Naarm / Melbourne

artists, spaces

10 November 2011

The problem, if it is a problem, with travelling overseas – especially to see a Biennale – is that you are spoilt with an abundance of art.

I have come back to Melbourne in search of the wow factor and so far this is my list:

Murray White Room
Sargood Lane (off Exhibition Street, between Flinders Lane and Flinders Street), Melbourne

Transfer Stations by Mira Gojak

Exhibition runs until 19 November
Tuesday to Friday, 11am to 6pm, and Saturday, 12pm to 4pm

• Great to walk into Murray White Room and see 2 fabulous installations.
• The 2 works occupy the space perfectly and I love the use of various materials, lines, dimensions and colours.
• The works are technical, beautiful and should be in a fabulous foyer somewhere!

Lamington Drive
15–25 Keele Street, Collingwood (view location on Google Maps)

Page Girls by Kat Macleod

Exhibition runs until 19 November
Wednesday to Friday, 11am to 6pm, and Saturday, 12pm to 5pm

• The cardboard gallery continues with great works by artists/illustrators.
• The unique states by Kat Macleod are worth buying if there are any left.
• Otherwise you can buy a digital print or the book!

Mailbox 141
Entrance, 141–143 Flinders Lane, Melbourne (view location on Google Maps)

The Wonderful House by Owen Hammond

Exhibition runs until 2 December
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and Saturday, 10am to 5pm

• Incredible houses occupy 14 mailboxes at Mailbox 141.
• Owen Hammond's works are crafted to perfection and are fascinating.
• The exhibition asks us about where do we live, what type of house do we occupy, what goes into our house.
