This morning we spent some time exploring the kids activities at the APT7 - 7th Asia Pacific Triennial exhibition - held at the Gallery of Modern Art and the Qld Art Gallery. You and I visited with my cousin Stephanie another day and saw some of the bigger exhibition pieces including sculptures from Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.
Today we went into the Yellow or Blue exhibition, a series of rooms made from cardboard, painted either in solid yellow or blue. It got me thinking that it would be a cheap funky solution to create screening within a room from cardboard boxes glued and taped together and painted to create a cohesive look. The kids activity centred around yellow and blue cardboard boxes that were flattened. We made a car, while daddy worked on a blue aeroplane for you.
To my surprise you insisted on taking your afternoon nap with the car. You even took a photo of it.
We went on to making a mask, watching a short video about lights and lamps coming to life, and showing daddy the beat up Vespa that had toured Indonesia with a musician and the rainbow coloured plastic plant exhibit. The colours in it are particularly appealing and again you captured it on my camera.
