Google Art Project has come to Australia

It's very exciting!  Australian galleries and museum have joined hundreds of other museums and galleries around the world to be part of the Google Art Project.  An online gallery where you can walk around galleries and look at artwork, from all around the world, without leave the comfort of your home. The art work has been taken with high resolution cameras so you can zoom in see all the details. I recommend everyone to go have a look and make yourself your own privet gallery of artworks.

So what has this to do with Melbourne? NGV and Museum Victoria has taken part.

Kubota Fumikazu at Blindside

I recommend everyone to checkout Kubota Fumikazu’s show (UN)FORTUNATELY NO LONGER HUMAN at Blindside in Gallery Two from 29 Feb – 17 Mar 2012.

In a world where we can so easily create lines using digital media, it is refreshing to see such intricately beautiful hand drawn elaborate graphic drawings.  You feel like you want to dive into his oddly un-human world of lines and negative space.

This is Kubota Fumikazu standing next to my favorite work in the show. It is a must see in person.

Installation view below.

On a side note his also had nice business cards and price list. Oh yes the prices were also very reasonable price started at $800.
