Govett Brewster Art Gallery

In the morning we pottered round in the camp ground and then decided to have lunch before we did anything else.

After lunch we drove down to the Govett Brewster Art gallery to see the current Len Lye exhibition.

In the first gallery there were three "Wands" under the title "Group Therapy".

2. Rotating Harmonic



3. Watusi

(Don't have an image for this)

These all rotated slightly of centre and created solid visual images that changed as you watched - fascinating!

Wand Dance

The next gallery had Five Wands with four on the outside and one in the centre. They all rotated, but not necessarily in sync with each other. It was like aliens interacting with each other - each wand had a pair of eyes at the top. The only thing I didn't like about it was the sound created as they interacted - it hurt my ears.

The next gallery had an exhibition "Triple Vita Nesting" by a South Korean artist - Haegue Yang

It was all about the disconnect that she felt as a South Korean artist living in Berlin.

The work that we liked best was "Umbra Creatures by Rockhole 2017-2018

After we got back to the camp Roy Watini came down to pick us up and take us back to his and his wife Jenny's place for dinner.

They lived at .... and had a beautiful view off the back of their property


We had a great dinner and good conversation until about 10:00 pm when Roy took us home.
