Marianne and I took the bus into the city to do a little family tree research in the State Library. When we were finished, we wandered into the Gallery of Modern Art which is in the building next to the Library.
The building itself is quite modern.
From one end of the building you can get great views of the nearby river. The columns are made of black computer tape that stretch from floor to ceiling. I've still got a roll of the tape but I don't think I will do it at home.
Inner tubes suspended from the ceiling.
Metronomes set to different speeds. They make quite a racket but the noise is hypnotic.
It's amazing what people can think up.
Marianne remarked that she liked the red covers.
There is a section of modern aboriginal art.
This van built as a house was interesting.
Inside the van.
A brain in lights.
This mirror thingie was quite spectacular.
As was this photo.
It's all quite a change from the Monets in Paris and in many ways, just as compelling.
The architecture in some of the surrounding buildings is quite modern. It's a great place to visit but you have to wonder what visitors in fifty years time will think about them.
