Mona



Took a trip to Tasmania over the weekend and I went to Mona. All I can say is HOLY FUCK that place is amazing! More amazing than I could have ever imagined. Everything about it is amazing (it's built underground!). There is a huge amount of great contemporary works. I loved almost everything there but was particularly taken by a couple of artists in particular. Claire Morgan's piece 'Tracing Time' (below), made from nylon thread, dandelion seeds, dead leaves and a taxidermied wren is so fragile and beautiful. Have a look at her work here. David Walsh is my hero, even though he seems to have a strange obsession with feces, sex and god. GO TO MONA!
