 Last week I went to the Biennale with a couple friends. We visited two out of the five venues, the MCA and Cockatoo Island.
 my camera died half way through Cockatoo Island- lucky I'll be going again! so this is just a few of the ones I liked or found interesting... I may post some more at a later date.



 Pinaree Sanpitak, Anything Can Break, 2011








 Alwar Balasubramaniam, Nothing From My Hands, 2011-2012













 Lee Mingwei, The Mending Project, 2009





Mit Jai Inn, No 112, 2002-12




Kamin Lertchaiprasert, Sitting, 2004-2006
This one was incredible. There were literally hundreds of these sculptures all lined up in a glass box at eye level. The are made of shredded Thai bank notes.





 Zoe Keramea, White Striped Black Moth, 2011


Liu Zhuoquan, Where are you?, 2012
These bottles are have snake imprints painted on the inside with oil pain. What a technique!
 


Maria Laet, Untitled (Dialogue Series, Balloon and Body), 2007






 Judith Wright, A Journey, 2011
 I found this one incredibly moving and interesting. It explores the loss of the dual entity that birth brings with it, from the perspective of the mother rather than the child.
Wright herself lost her baby only a few days after birth, which fuels this intensly powerful piece.
Assemblage art is one I really identify with, and this work is very inspiring.







Ria Verhaeghe, Living with Cuddles, 2012
Fabric willed with newspapers, cotton, cloths and other similar things.










Stay posted for more from the 2012 Sydney Biennale.
