{Playing Field opening night. (The exhibition is a part of Craft Victoria's annual festival Craft Cubed.)}
A band of rare creatures may not be an official collective noun and this post, like several sporadic posts previous, may not follow usual style, but nonetheless we thought you might be interested to see a few photos from the opening night of Playing Field, a group exhibition currently at Craft Victoria which features some of our new work. A twinkling of openings may be fictitious, but we think it can slide in comfortably here alongside drawn explorations of a troupe of acrobats (to come) and a cache of jewels.
These photos of said opening are not our own. They are taken by Lily Feng for Craft Victoria. In them you can see a little of our collaborative artists’ book, Sleeping during the day.
Openings are curious things. They pass quite quickly. They involve the pouring and subsequent swilling of wine. They involve speeches preferably economic in length. They involve crowds passing through, with luck, you hope. They see faces flush, shoulders brush, and some require the wearing of masks. Some become a colourful carousel and whirl about at speed. Yes, they pass quite quickly, in the blink of an eye. 8pm, all done. Hurrah! Rinse the glasses, turn out the lights, and head for home.
{All photos by Lily Feng. Thank you, Lily.}
Playing Field is an exhibition curated by Joe Pascoe, CEO & Artistic Director Craft Victoria, and it is on until Saturday 4th of September, 2010.
