In the mood of Art

Haven't enjoyed losing myself in art galleries with others for a while so I've spent 2 days indulged in aesthetic mood. Again, we made the days totally unplanned like our first ferry tour. I just love it that way. No routine, be yourself, set it free. We walked along the arch of trees in Hyde Park and asked each other what we felt like doing today. MCA was our destination on the first day. The exhibitions were pretty much inspired so far. I've noted down so many interesting quotes and artists' concept behind art pieces.

My fav wordings :

From Rick Maynard : Australian Aboriginal Photographer

"As my body recovers from addictions so does my spirit"

"For me, photographs have always been personal, and living with these pictures somehow I hope to convey the intimacy of a diary." - R. Maynard, 1992 from 'Portrait of a Distant Land' exhibition

Note : I like this idea 'cause it's exactly the same as how I feel when I take photos, share 'em and read my own journal from those photos I've taken.

"I've let my frustration go, and I wonder about the others, will they let their frustration out here or release them on the community? I often wonder, with the experience I have of frequently visiting this place, how different I will be when I get release.. from prison" - R. Maynard from 'No more than what you see' collection

Note : For some people, prison can be equivalent to a sanctuary. Talk about sanctuary, I just attracted to the opening sentences. "I've let my frustration go, and I wonder about the others, will they let their frustration out here or release them on (something else that related to the public or others)?" It reminded me the time I sat in a park and looked up to the wide canvas of blue sky.

Next day, with the same person, we went to Art Gallery of NSW. There, I found a very interesting interactive art/installation which I'll review in another post ;)
