Pip & Pop...We miss you magic land!
Pip & Pop...We miss you magic land!
Ok,Magic Land...I have been meaning to write this post for a little while now but I keep getting distracted! This magical exhibition by Perth-based artist duo Pip & Pop (Nicole Andrijevic and Tanya Schultz)is currently showing at Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art. It is a breathtaking and awesome feast for your eyes. All the installations are scaled down and are really quite miniature - not that you really get a sense of this from my photo's. The delicacy and attention to detail is fascinating and every time you look at the work you see something new!
"Drawing on children’s stories, creation myths, Buddhist cosmologies,
video games and folktales, Pip & Pop create large-scale fantasy
worlds coloured with a bright, often fluorescent palette, using
cake-decorating tools, intricate layers of sugar, glitter, modelling
clay and mirrors"
"Pathways and peepholes will lead visitors to different worlds: a
magical forest filled with strange flowers, vines, mushrooms and
animals; a cosmic universe condensed into a darkened room with twinkly
stars; and a volcanic lake with crystals, mist and liquid pools are just
some of the creations waiting to be discovered"
If you are in Brisbane before the 4th March 2012 visit this exhibition - you won't be disappointed. For more info check out

My cup of tea...
The Future
The Future 2011, Written and directed by Miranda July. Starring Miranda July, Hamish Linklater and David Warshofsky.
The Future is a whimsical film about a non committal couple in their mid 30’s who have been together for 4 years but appear to lead a “boring life”. Jason is a tech support worked who works from home and Sophie is a children's dance teacher who is trying to make a you-tube dance video in her spare time. Sophie and Jason decide to about to adopt a sick talking cat called Paw Paw. They find out that they can’t take Paw Paw home for a month and realise they want to spend the next 30 days living before the shackles of owning a pet “tie them down”. They turn off the internet and quit their jobs only to find things don’t really go according to plan....
I loved this film, not only because of the beautifully minimalistic way it’s shot but because Miranda July seems to carry through her quirky sense of style which is reflected in the characters, their relationships and interactions with each other.
It was really my cup of tea.
