Museum of Contemporary Art, Biennale, Neuron
The 17th Biennale of Sydney was an exhibition of contemporary art which ran from the 17th May to 1st August 2010. Biennale is an Italian word 'for every second year', which in this case is the art event that happens every two years in Sydney. The theme of this biennale was 'The Beauty of Distance: Songs of Survival in a Precarious Age', featuring works by artists from all over the world. Neuron, a sculpture in stainless steel by artist Roxy Paine, was installed on the lawn in front of the Museum of Contemporary Art, near Circular Quay.
Hi J Bar
ReplyDeletemolto particolare quell'albero secco messo in esposizione davanti al museo !
Buona domenica.
That's a fun piece of art. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteI like this piece of art although I think it is not shown to best effect outside the MCA. I think it needs to be in the Botanic Gardens - more out in the open. I wonder whether it will get a permanent exhibition shot at the end of its run?
ReplyDeleteVery nice Pictures. Maybe you might be interested in seeing some Pictures from Stuttgart in Germany. You can find them at my blog "Stuttgart Daily Picture" at blogspot.
ReplyDeleteJulie, it's a very big piece and certainly needs a wide open space. The Botanical Gardens or Centennial Park would be a good location.
ReplyDeleteexcellent artwork!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot.
ReplyDeleteI still think of it as the Maritime Services Board Building.
ReplyDeleteBruce, either way, it's a magnificent art deco building.
ReplyDeleteI love this - especially as it reminds me of our wonderful holiday in Sydney last year!
ReplyDeleteThis may go in the "what is it?" category for me. Interesting, yes... roots that refuse to be rooted? And is it made of metal? Nice deco building.
ReplyDeleteI love the title of the exhibit. Not so sure about the work of art on the lawn-- in front of a building. But then, I'm not the artist!
ReplyDeleteFrancisca, it is made of stainless steel. I believe the artist was inspired by tree roots for this artwork.
ReplyDeleteI love the gnarled branches of that sculpture.

Interesting sculpture! Cockatoo Island looks like a fun place to visit. Neurons are cells in our nervous system that transmit signals to other cells. My first impression was that the sculpture was a potato sprouting.
ReplyDeleteAhhh Sydney, see you in a few weeks. Meanwhile, I love your photography. Nice to look at pretty pictures of home!
ReplyDeleteA thing of beauty...WOW
