Excursion to Melbourne & NGV

On Friday 6 students and one of the teachers went on excursion to Melbourne. We visited the Ian Potter Gallery.
There we saw several exhibitions while there.
  1. Katie Pye - Clothes for Modern Lovers
  2. Kitty Kantilla - retrospective
Next we went to NGV International.
  1. Sneakers - Classics to customs
  2. Imaginery Prisons - G B Piranesi & Vik Muniz
  3. Great Exhibitions - The world fairs 1851 - 1937
Then off to the State Library to see the exhibition I was very keen to see. Yep printmaking & artists books. Artists prints & books created by many of Australia's leading artists curated by Dianne Fogwell.
  1. Collaborative works from the ANU Edition + Artist Book Studio
Some of the works in the exhibition can be found here (prints) and here (books).

And lastly a couple of the girls and I went to a fabulous Japanese fabric & quilting shop called Kimono Hous

And finally home on the train.
