Touch The Exhibits: HANA - The Essence of Life
http://touchtheexhibits.blogspot.com/2008/10/hana-essence-of-life.html
Friday, October 10, 2008. HANA - The Essence of Life. I haven't seen many exhibitions during Fringe, which disappoints me a little, but I've been so busy with Totem that I jsut haven't been able to find the time. But I did drop by Collingwood Gallery on Smith St to see Hana, an exhibition from 30 Japanese artists on the theme 'The essence of life'. The word Hana means 'flower, essence, spirit and beauty'.

Tuesday, July 29, 2008. History part 3: The Attic of Dorian Grey. That year, in fact just after Kitty. Was when I decided that I'd start organising group exhibitions and that I needed a name for it. I wanted something recognisable, something that people would remember. I came up with. A group of people that creates all. Looking back, Kitty. Was the first OA. Show, I was just a little late with the intellectualising of it. So the first official OA. Show was The Attic of Dorian Gray. Sayraphim Lothian is a...

Touch The Exhibits: History part 1: Kaidan
http://touchtheexhibits.blogspot.com/2008/07/history-part-1-kaidan.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. History part 1: Kaidan. I've been thinking about myself as curator and I thought it would be good to write a history of it all. You need to know where you've been to understand where you are going. So my first exhibition organised outside of Uni was for Impresaria's. On at the Storeroom in 2002. I was the assistant designer for the show, which included not only the stage and theatre but the front of house area, the stairwell and the room that held the bar. Sayraphim Lothian is an ...

Touch The Exhibits: History part 5: A Minor Collection of Unnatural History
http://touchtheexhibits.blogspot.com/2008/08/history-part-5-minor-collection-of.html
Tuesday, August 5, 2008. History part 5: A Minor Collection of Unnatural History. 2007's show was A Minor Collection of Unnatural History. At Off the Kerb gallery in Collingwood. I wasn't interested in the artists using the images we'd created as blueprints, if I'd wanted monsters exactly as the images descibed I would have built them myself. Instead, I wanted the artists to use the images and stories as a launching place for them to then make the monsters their own. For the opening, I asked Ben Mckenzie.

bridge road projects: Paper/Rock/Scissors, Review by Tai Snaith

Sunday, 5 August 2007. Paper/Rock/Scissors, Review by Tai Snaith. 15-19 Anthony St Melbourne. July 19 – August 11 2007. Curated as a group effort by the 10 or so committee members of West Space, this group show is a perfect example of successful democratic process and a playful interpretation of a somewhat literal curatorial premise of three inanimate objects.

Touch The Exhibits: History part 4: 21 Dead Bugs as a Gift
http://touchtheexhibits.blogspot.com/2008/07/history-part-4-21-dead-bugs-as-gift.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2008. History part 4: 21 Dead Bugs as a Gift. In 2006 came 21 Dead Bugs as a Gift. It occurred to me that art exhibitions rarely cooperate with artists of other streams, like musicians or writers, and so I set out to change that. So 21 Dead Bugs as a Gift. One project in three collaborative. Was no exception. One of the reasons I love curating shows is that I love seeing what other people make. Like with 21 Dead Bugs as a Gift. And that's why I love the day they drop their work in....
