artistic!


Sydney Biennale

Absolutely loved the Biennale of Sydney, well the bits on Cockatoo Island that I visited. Cockatoo Island is an old convict prison island that became a ship yard, and is now full of abandoned old industrial buildings and bizarrely a permanent campsite! The Biennale took it over and installed art works in different old buildings. The was one that took my fancy - hundreds of stainless steel balls. There were quite a few video installations including on surreal Russian one, and one about the drowned Chinese cockle pickers in Morcambe Bay. Hours of enjoyment - I was on the last ferry off the island!
