Art is a great sport to share with people you love - competitive and collaborative.
At Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) until April there's the Asia Pacific Triennial. http://qag.qld.gov.au/exhibitions/apt
So much fun: sand drawing, pattern experiments, sculptures, drawings, photography, videos... one afternoon is not enough.
Little guys love it to ... this is what gives me hope for the future of this country ... children's minds are being opened by public programs like this.
It has to improve the collective imagination of the nation.
Here's a video of kids enjoying: Liminal Air Descend, by Japanese artist Shinjo Ohmaki, another example of great tactile art that's being produced these days.
You learn more when you're having fun. You learn when you experiment. So I'm experimenting. I've used GIFs here so maybe they won't show.
And I've used a basic export to get a video file small enough to email to Posterous - hopefully it works.
Fingers crossed. I'm no genius as plenty of people will testify willingly.
