Guest speaker - Maia Marinelli

Guest speaker Maia Marinelli’s presentation was inspirational with a feel of achievement. She works in different mediums and uses her body and the interaction of it in the space and look at people and their behavior.  She talked about endurance and pushing yourself to do your best. Believe in what you do and success will speak for itself. The artist stayed true to her art and her thought and delivers her artwork no matter what.

Exhibition 5

The PICA exhibition with Ross Manning and Michele Theunissen really challenged my thinking of why these two very different art installations were shown at the same time and at the same gallery. To me it was about their similarities in rhythm, movement and colour, but also in their different approaches in the figurative and non-figurative. Whatever their intention in my view the exhibition is a playful performance.

Guest speaker - Dr. Barbara Bolt

Guest speaker Dr. Barbara Bolt is well and truly an inspirational artist with extensive knowledge in her field. Her passion for art is contagious and makes me feel more positive and enthusiastic about my own art studies and future practice.

Dr. Barbara Bolt is one of so many people that intrigue me with their knowledge and passion and sense of presentation that it feels to me as if I’m watching a movie with quick intake and slow pauses between presentation slides, like poetry to the sole.

Exhibition 4

Fantastic! The exhibitions space opens the mind and wake the eye to actually look and experience what you seen. Not just a mind numbing wonder at the same level, but an exploration of the space.
