Hullo!
This week I've been watching the facilitators patiently installing a piece by Romanian artist, Bogdan Achimescu. Thousands of garlands, made of square sheets of paper, each carrying drawings of faces, hang above the main area in the Central Library. The effect is like hanging white sheets, or sails, or the Sydney Opera house. It softens the harsh florescent lights, and brings the ceiling lower, for a softer intimate feel. Although the thousands of faces seem exhaustive to the viewers, Bogdan finds repetition and monotony liberating. More often than not there are two faces on each little sheet of paper, representing two halves of one original being. An asexual person who has been split into two personaes. He draws the left person with his left hand, and the right with his right. Bogdan is one of the three artists speaking on Saturday, July 18th at two in the Dunlop. Bogdan and Dan are both from Romania, and have been having a good time drving to various sites in-town in their rental car.
Cheers!
